Welcome to Brookside Mod Cottage: Spacious and group friendly!

Welcome to Mod Cottage, a beautifully preserved 1936 Brookside home where groups can spread out, reconnect, and feel taken care of. Original character and craftsmanship meet modern comfort with thoughtful details throughout. We’ve considered the little things that make traveling easier—from a genuinely stocked kitchen and coffee bar to family-friendly extras and those “I can’t believe I forgot that” essentials. Come experience one of KC’s most loved neighborhoods—and feel at home while you do.

Nestled along the tree-lined streets of historic Brookside, Brookside Mod Cottage is a character-filled 1936 home designed for modern Kansas City stays. You'll have the charm of one of KC's most beloved residential neighborhoods—with restaurants, coffee shops, parks and shopping nearby—while staying within easy reach of the city's museums, sporting events and attractions.

Inside, four comfortable bedrooms and multiple living spaces give families and groups plenty of room to settle in. Gather around the large dining table, start the morning with coffee in the butler's pantry overlooking the garden, challenge each other to foosball or a game in the second living room, or unwind outside on the patio after a day exploring KC.

This house is designed for together time—and a little time apart.

Mod Cottage isn't a stripped-down rental. We've tried to anticipate the little things that make traveling easier, from a genuinely equipped kitchen and dedicated coffee bar to comfortable gathering spaces and useful extras throughout the home.

Guests consistently mention the exceptional cleanliness of Mod Cottage—and that's intentional. The home is professionally prepared between every stay with the goal of making it feel less like checking into a rental and more like arriving at a home that's ready for you.

Traveling With Kids?
Families are especially welcome here. The house has games, books and puzzles for a range of ages, plus a high chair, Pack 'n Play and baby gate available for use. With four bedrooms and multiple living areas, there's space for everyone to be together without everyone having to be together all the time.

Experience Brookside!
One of the best parts of staying here is the neighborhood itself. Brookside is known for its beautiful homes, mature trees and walkable neighborhood feel. Don't be surprised to meet neighbors while you're out for a morning walk or heading to nearby coffee, restaurants, parks and shops.

The Country Club Plaza is approximately five minutes away, and you're a quick drive from the KC Streetcar for easy access through much of the city. Museums, sporting events and other Kansas City attractions are also within easy reach, including a convenient boulevard route toward GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
