Hidden Gem — An Eventective User from KANSAS CITY

The Waters House is rustic, clean and comfortable, and tucked back into the woods, providing a really nice venue for family get-togethers. The house has a 50-person capacity, although I would say it holds 40 comfortably. There are two separate rooms connected by a vestibule, a kitchen, storage, and two restrooms. We used the larger of the two rooms for seating and set up all the food in the smaller room adjacent to the kitchen, which worked well. The smaller room also has a nice stone fireplace, which served as a nice backdrop for photos. The kitchen has a full-size refrigerator/freezer, and the open floorplan made food prep, setup, and cleanup easy and convenient. Rectangular tables and nice padded folding chairs were provided and were in almost-new condition. There is also a beautiful stone patio on the back of the house with a barbecue grill; however, you must provide your own outdoor seating (the provided tables and chairs are not allowed outside), which is hard if you're coming from out of town. This was my one disappointment in the house, as I would have really liked to have taken advantage of the beautiful yard. The Waters House is handicapped accessible, and there is ample parking. Overall, this is a nice venue in a peaceful, wooded setting just minutes from city conveniences and hotels.
