Basswood Country Inn Resort, 18 miles from downtown Kansas City north, is a 73-acre Missouri country estate with beautifully secluded, wooded lakeside accommodations.

Solitude and privacy are ensured for the perfect honeymoon, anniversary, family vacation, or that much-needed weekend getaway. Just five miles from the Kansas City International Airport, Basswood offers a beautiful, convenient bed and breakfast retreat no matter what the season! Perfect for family reunions!

Basswood's main building provides six guest suites named after some of the resort's more celebrated visitors. Each features a private bath and is lavishly but comfortably decorated to suit your needs. Pamper yourself in the elegantly furnished 1,550 square-foot Truman Suites, paying homage to Harry, Bess, and Margaret Truman, who visited Basswood many times in the 1940's and 1950's. Decorated in French Country, each of the bedrooms has its own Jacuzzi. They are separated by a tastefully furnished living room and kitchen. Cuddle up in front of the wood-burning fireplace in cooler weather or enjoy the lake view from the balcony in any season, which connects to the celebrity meeting room.

The Mother-In-Law Cottage, built in 1935, offers two bedrooms that look directly out onto the lake. A fully equipped kitchen, bathroom, private yard, and wood-burning stone fireplace complete this cozy vacation rental retreat! The Bing Crosby & Rudy Vallee Suites, located on the lower lake side of the Celebrity House, are named after two movie stars who frequented Basswood in the 1940's and 1950's. Offering ideal lodging for families, the suites feature two bedrooms, one and a half baths, and a fully equipped kitchen as well. The resort also offers both full-service, sleeper cabins, as well as the Basswood Lodge.

Awaken to a fresh continental breakfast, at six B&B suites in main building, of freshly baked pastries and juice packed in a breakfast basket to take to your suite. Don't fear -- each room is furnished with coffee maker and coffee. After breakfast, the options are endless.

Relax or exercise in the 40-foot outdoor pool. Enjoy a game of volleyball or shuffleboard, or encounter nature along a walking trail. A game room is also available for guests to enjoy. Basswood boasts four spring-fed fishing lakes offering Channel Cat, Bass, Crappie, and more; bring your pole!

For those who don't want to abandon everything city-related, Platte City, historic Weston, and downtown Kansas City are within a short distance from the resort. Tours of Harley Davidson Plant are available. Worlds of Fun/Oceans of Fun is a popular diversion for the whole family, or play a round at one of the five golf courses in the area.
