We chose this rental because it was approximately equidistant between Santa Fe, NM and Lansing, MI. This way, our family could get together for Thanksgiving. The house was ideal for two couples and a single son. The area is quiet and located approximately 20 minutes from Kansas City. With a well-stocked kitchen, we were able to enjoy Thanksgiving together. (There are at least two grocery stores nearby.) We were also able to go into the KC for Black Friday.
