About the host

Hosted by Mariah Britt

My husband Wade love eating and drinking our way around the world with our kids. We have both traveled extensively and lived abroad for years.
We currently reside in Des Moines, Iowa, just down the street this house! We moved into the Downtown Renovated Beauty for a year while we furnished and decorated it to make sure it had everything we would want while traveling.
We put a lot of focus on comfortable beds and lounge areas, a stocked kitchen because we love cooking, and things to keep kids happy while traveling. We also loved the giant sofa so much, we bought another one for our house!

Why they chose this property

Our historic neighborhood, Sherman Hill, is charming and full of character! We love being able to walk to the heart of town in 20 minutes. Even closer, we have several restaurants & bars, a playground and a grocery store you can reach 10 minutes or less on foot (unless you have a toddler that is easily distracted on walks).
There is easy access to public transport with bus stops throughout the neighborhood.

What makes this property unique

This home was built in 1880, and fortunately for us, owned by a designer before us who made the house look stunning inside and out! We lived in the house for a year while furnishing and decorating it to ensure it would make travelers feel at home and comfortable.
One thing we miss most from living in this house is the delicious filtered drinking water out of the left tap in the kitchen. We have a fenced in back yard to give you privacy, and keep your kids or fury friends safe.
Wade and I live just down the street, and are happy to help if you need anything during your stay.
