What guests think
At The Lost Trombone @ McBabe Retreat!!, guests frequently highlight the spacious, generally clean home with kid-friendly game room, easy check-in, and a quiet, convenient neighborhood near shops, highways, and Kansas City attractions, well suited for families and groups.
Families appreciate the well-stocked kitchen, large dining table, and entertainment options like air hockey and arcade games. Reported drawbacks include sporadic maintenance and equipment issues (e.g., appliance vents, kitchen fan, lighting, ants, one arcade unit), very tall or firm beds, and occasional layout quirks such as TV placement. Service is typically responsive and helpful, though one guest reported unanswered messages during the holidays; overall, expect a comfortable, convenient base with plenty of space and activities.

My family and I enjoyed our stay. The house was exactly as pictured. The house was very clean. The house was located in a very quite neighborhood. There is a lot of shopping nearby. There was was enough rooms for each person to have their own. My granddaughter enjoyed playing the games in the game room. Because the weather was cold we were not able to enjoy the outdoor deck. I would definitely here again.

The home is located to a lot of restaurant and 20-30 to downtown Kansas City. The home is very spacious, with beautiful furniture. The table is massive. The kids and adults loved the video games and back area. We had an issue checking in, but the host was quick in responding and matter was taken care of quickly. We didn’t like the tv is near the kitchen and table and not in the family room area. The bed in the master bedroom is very high, so had to use a stepstool to get into it. The water pressure is great in the bathrooms. The beds are very firm/hard.

Our family and our friends (10 total) went to the Kansas City area for our spring break. We were looking at getting away from all the snow we have at home. The house is in a very nice neighborhood and the kids were able to go for a walk and play outside. The game room was wonderful and we played a lot of air hockey and arcade games. The kitchen is spacious and the dinning table is huge, allowing us to all sit around it and eat together and play cards. The house was big enough that the kids were able to spread out and no one felt closed in. There was so much to do in the area - everything we wanted to do was a quick and easy trip. We had a great time and enjoyed our stay at this home. Thank you!

The kitchen had everything we needed. The pots and pans could use an upgrade. The bedrooms were spacious and had plenty of blankets, pillows and towels. TVs in every bedroom which we didn't need because we were all so happy to sit and chat and play games at the table. The game room was fun even for us 50 guests. The cooking was a bit awkward as the Jenn Aire fan didn't work and the stove is under a window. The host was very prompt in communication and had offered to come over to fix the fan in the stove. We declined as it wasn't necessary, just wanted them informed. We would definitely stay again, if we return to KC.

I have used VRBO properties many times as a gathering place for family trips. This one rated MUCH lower than most! No working front porch light made getting in after dark a struggle. No working overhead light in the Master bedroom meant using a phone flashlight to find all of our belongings when packing up. The shower in the Master did not drain well, which meant standing in water. Only 4 chairs and a very uncomfortable bench at the dining table meant that we could not all sit together. The bed in the Master bedroom was so tall you really needed a step stool to get into it (it is higher than my waist!). Good thing my husband and I practice yoga! Lots of supplies for babies and toys for kids, but no step stool, so the younger ones could reach the bathroom sink The MOST disappointing was the total lack of response from the owner to our numerous texts and emails! The blizzard on Dec. 25-26 meant that we had to delay our arrival by a day. We asked if we could extend our stay by a day. No response. We asked if we might receive a credit for the missed day. No response. I realize this was during the holidays, but not responding to ANY of our correspondence was very frustrating. Despite the location that was so close to my parent's home, we doubt we will use this property again.

The home is located to a lot of restaurant and 20-30 to downtown Kansas City. The home is very spacious, with beautiful furniture. The table is massive. The kids and adults loved the video games and back area. We had an issue checking in, but the host was quick in responding and matter was taken care of quickly. We didn’t like the tv is near the kitchen and table and not in the family room area. The bed in the master bedroom is very high, so had to use a stepstool to get into it. The water pressure is great in the bathrooms. The beds are very firm/hard.

Our stay was excellent. The house is conveniently located near amenities and is 5 to 10 minutes from major highways. The kids loved the arcade room and we loved the quiet neighborhood.

This was the perfect situation for us as a family. Comfortable very clean and with coffee (yay) and baby items useful for infants. Lovely neighborhood right by our Kansas City families in Olathe. Close to Prince of Peace church.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this property. We found it pretty well equipped, but not as organized and clean as other rentals that we have rented. It definitely fit our group though, and we would rent it again. :)

The kitchen had everything we needed. The pots and pans could use an upgrade. The bedrooms were spacious and had plenty of blankets, pillows and towels. TVs in every bedroom which we didn't need because we were all so happy to sit and chat and play games at the table. The game room was fun even for us 50 guests. The cooking was a bit awkward as the Jenn Aire fan didn't work and the stove is under a window. The host was very prompt in communication and had offered to come over to fix the fan in the stove. We declined as it wasn't necessary, just wanted them informed. We would definitely stay again, if we return to KC.

Wonderful place. Enough space to enjoy the family visit for the wedding. Few things like no batteries in the controls and lights flicker. No propane for the grill, but we bought charcoal. Would recommend

Our family and our friends (10 total) went to the Kansas City area for our spring break. We were looking at getting away from all the snow we have at home. The house is in a very nice neighborhood and the kids were able to go for a walk and play outside. The game room was wonderful and we played a lot of air hockey and arcade games. The kitchen is spacious and the dinning table is huge, allowing us to all sit around it and eat together and play cards. The house was big enough that the kids were able to spread out and no one felt closed in. There was so much to do in the area - everything we wanted to do was a quick and easy trip. We had a great time and enjoyed our stay at this home. Thank you!

We enjoyed our stay. This is a nice house in a nice neighborhood. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, and utensils. The beds were comfortable. The dining room table was huge. There was enough seating in the living areas for an army. We would stay there again.

This place was perfect for what we needed. Close to lots of food and grocers, not far from the highway. It was a great space for our family get together, and the kids had so much fun with the games and everything. It was clean and the neighborhood was quiet. I would definitely tell anyone looking for a place in the area to stay here.
