A note from William
I have been buying and restoring old houses since 2010, starting with a 1910 mansion in Hyde Park that needed years of work. Nine more followed across Kansas City and St. Louis, and the approach has not changed: buy a house worth the work, take the time to do it right, and set it up for people who want to stay a few days or a few months.
Some of the homes sleep 14 to 16, so a wedding party or a family reunion can stay under one roof. Others are set up for a month or longer near the universities and hospitals. If you need more space, a different layout or a longer stay, ask me: we have other houses next door or nearby, and can often move you without interrupting your trip.

Old houses, brought back to life
Restored homes in Kansas City and St. Louis, including a 1910 Hyde Park mansion, a 1905 Greek Revival and a 1903 home in Shaw.
Our story
It started with one old house
It started in 2010 with a mansion in Kansas City’s Hyde Park, built in 1910 and needing years of work. We bought it, restored it, and kept going. More houses in Kansas City followed, and in 2021 we crossed the state to St. Louis. Ten homes later the approach has not changed: buy a house worth the work, take the time to do it right, and set it up for people who want to stay a few days or a few months. What holds it together is our eye for design and an obsession with old houses that has never quite worn off.
How we host
Built for gatherings
Some of these homes sleep 14 to 16, so a wedding party or a family reunion can stay under one roof instead of splitting across hotel floors. Others are smaller and set up for stays of a month or longer, near the universities and hospitals, with fast internet, laundry and a place to work. What they share is the restoration behind them and the way they are looked after now. Across more than a thousand guest reviews, the collection averages 4.86 out of 5 stars.
