Great place to stay for a long weekend

The house was just as advertised - maybe even better. Very clean and well stocked and the neighborhood was quiet. Made it easy for us to spend a long weekend visiting family and going to the Drake relays. The weekend itself was interrupted a little with tornado warnings but the house had a very nice basement to hang out in while we waited for the storms to pass and fortunately nothing was very close. Would definitely recommend and we plan stay again next time we are in town!

Clean, Comfortable, and Cozy

Our (growing) family gathered in Des Moines for Christmas and were really pleased with this home. The owner was quick to respond to questions. Will definitely keep it in mind for future trips to Iowa.

Here for a family gathering

Our family was in town for a memorial service, and we had such a lovely stay here. All of the beds were extremely comfortable, each living area had its own bathroom, the hosts left amazing and sweet snacks for our enjoyment, and the living room with the fireplace was just so cozy and such a lovely place to hang out. Thank you for an amazing stay! Highly recommend.

House was very clean and organized. We had no problem finding everything we needed. Host was great and accommodating. We will be keeping this on our places to stay when we visit Iowa again.
