Great stay!

A nice, clean home that was perfect for a girls night in. Location was great and I appreciated all the small touches (chargers, fans in all the rooms) that made for a great stay. Would stay again!

Perfect Weekend Getaway!

We drove up for a baseball game with family and rather all staying in separate hotel rooms we chose to get a house that could accamodate all of us! This house was the perfect fit for us! They even provided toys for our littles { 4, 2, 1, and infant} We truly loved it! Will definitely be visiting again!

Weekend in des moines

We enjoyed the location… everything was close and easy to get to. The house was spacious and comfortable, easy driveway parking and close access to restaurants, bike trails, and fun things to do. The host was awesome about responding quickly and made checking in and out very easy. The city of Des Moines was a really pleasant surprise for us. Loved seeing so many people outside walking, running, biking, and playing with their families.

Property was fine. Neighborhood not the best, but no issues. Living room furniture was not as pictured and couches were not as comfortable as they could have been. Everything was extremely clean. Hot water temperature was extremely hot, be very careful when showering and do not leave kids in the tub unsupervised. Beds were comfortable.

Rooms are big and clean, backyard was overgrown and unkept. Ant issue in the kitchen which was communicated. Across the street from a park with a water feature for children and easy access to a running and bike path along the river. Lingering smell of nicotine in the house.

Nice house

We enjoyed the house will definitely come back. We loved all the fun game option for us to play and how you had a good amount of items stocked for us. The backyard was so cute with the little bar would recommend a fire pit wld of made that area. Only issue we had was one of the TV upstairs wasnt working properly so they just watched movies. Will use again for iowa state fair.

This house is in a perfect location. Beds are really comfortable, the half bath downstairs really convenient. There is huge park across the street that would be perfect for little kids and the trail along the river is only a few hundred feet from the front door. We sat on the patio every morning for coffee, it would have been nice to have cushions on the furniture but there is plenty of seating. neighborhood is really quiet. This is an old house, take that into consideration. If you are looking for a brand new, modern rental this is not it. However, it fit our needs and we would stay again.

Great experience

We took a weekend trip from Kansas City to Des Moines. There were seven adults and a toddler. The Capitol House was perfect. It was clean and there was plenty of room for all of us. The host was readily available if we had any questions. The house had all the basic necessities, plus quite a few extra amenities- such as tvs in each room with streaming services, lots of DVDs, children’s toys and a grill. Plus there were plenty of towels and toilet paper. We loved that there was a splash pad and playground literally across the street. It was perfect for my 3 year old grandniece to burn some energy. The house was super close proximity to downtown, but still located in a quiet neighborhood. 10/10 would recommend.

House was clean and had everything we needed. The area outside is a bit loud from traffic and the park but it was quite peaceful inside so didn’t bother us. Worked perfectly for what we needed.
