About this property
Cozy cottage in the woods
This brand new, one bedroom barndominium apartment is private, quiet, romantic and beautiful. It’s located 1 mile East of the Ankeny airport, so a quick drive to anything you want to do, but away from the hustle and bustle. There’s a brand new, super comfy king sized bed with black out curtain. Step onto the deck and take in the woods and pond sounds all around. Watch your favorite movie while soaking in the huge hot tub. There’s an electric fireplace that can even make a warm evening romantic and a fully stocked kitchen so you can enjoy your morning coffee. Even if the weather isn’t perfect, you can enjoy sitting on the comfy deck furniture under the covered deck with ceiling fan. We also have a propane heater in case there’s a chill in the air. We aren’t into fancy, but we love comfort and quiet in nature. If that sounds good-you will love our cozy cottage in the woods!

About the host
Hosted by Kevin & Kathleen Nikkel
We built this cozy space to house our family when they are here from out of town. It is so special to us that we thought others might enjoy it during the times it’s not being used.
Why they chose this property
We are within a 10 minutes drive of Ankeny, and the I80 I35 mixmaster. We are conveniently located for anything going on in the Des Moines area. Iowa State is about 20 minutes away. We built this barndominium apartment next to our home in the woods. It is very quiet and private, while also super easy to get wherever you may want to go.
What makes this property unique
We are nestled in the woods, with the sounds of birds and pond all around. You may even hear the neighbor’s chickens, goats, or the occasional train a mile away. We have some nice amenities, like soaking in the hot tub on the covered deck while watching tv. If you like to go do stuff-there’s plenty of stuff within a 20 minute drive!
