Wake up to the water at The Little House on Gardner Lake — your lakefront home base just 30 minutes from KC.

Gardner Lake is your backyard. Walk out to your private dock, bring your boat to launch or dry-dock it on site, and end each day around the fire as the sun sets over the water.

Inside, this remodeled cottage sleeps six: two bedrooms with queen beds, plus a queen sleeper sofa in the light-filled living room. The kitchen is stocked for everything from morning coffee at the built-in coffee bar to a lakeside dinner, and the single bath keeps everyone refreshed. Central heat and air keep it just right year-round.

Evenings are the magic here — gather at the gas fire pit on the deck, or build a real campfire at the wood-burning pit down by the water. Whether you come to fish, boat, kayak, or watch the herons glide across a still morning lake, The Little House invites you to slow down and stay a while.

Bring your boat. Bring your people. The lake is waiting.
