The Garden Carriage House

Nature oasis of intimate gardens, lush forests, peaceful pond, and scenic views.

The Garden Carriage House is a lovely garden setting on 10 acres. We are located on the south end of Overland Park, Kansas on the edge of the Blue River Valley. This nature escape is surrounded by lush forests, a peaceful pond with a stone bridge, and intimate garden walkways designed by Artist and Photographer Kelly Daniels. This space is perfect for one to reflect, a couple's romantic getaway, or a fun family vacation (children LOVE exploring here). 5 minutes to grocery store, great restaurants and 20-30 minutes to Downtown Kansas City and The Country Club Plaza!

Some activities for you to do here:
Catch and release fishing in the pond.
Hike along the forest trails.
Enjoy a fire - cozy up with your loved ones or roast s'mores
Watch the sunrises and sunsets light up the entire sky
Stargazing
Enjoy our friendly ducks at the pond
Visit our chickens in their coop
See the local wildlife of turkeys, hawks, deer, and foxes
Get family portraits taken by photographer Kelly Daniels on her property
Drop in for a nature connection event hosted here

A Native American Tipi is also on the land for educational purposes and must be reserved for special retreats.

If this is booked during the time you are looking, check out our other rental on the property - The Garden Suite!

**If you plan to bring pets, we know they will love it here, too! Please keep them on a leash. If you leave the house, pets are required to be kept in a kennel. $30 pet fee.**

Please be nice, friendly and respectful. This is a quiet area, not meant for loud events. We want people who appreciate nature in a peaceful setting.
