We had an excellent stay. We booked the property because it was close to the state fair and large enough for our family. Property was very clean and beds were very comfortable. Simple checking in process and simple checkout instructions. Great communication with owner. We would definitely book this home again!!!
I stayed here with 3 other moms. It’s was a book club retreat and this house was everything we were looking for! Convenient location to good restaurants and activities but located in a nice quiet neighborhood. The hot tub was such a nice perk, the couches were comfy for getting cozy and reading, and the beds were so comfortable! Communication was easy, the host was nice enough to let us check in a little early as we were running ahead of schedule. All the toiletries were provided, as well as coffee pods and creamer which was so generous! I will definitely book this house again if coming back to the area! Highly recommend!
This place was all around clean, great location, easy check in/out instructions and a perfect place to get away for a weekend!

Gregory, thank you so much for the kind words. We are really glad your family gathering went so well and that the house was a comfortable place for everyone, even with the weather rolling through. It means a lot to hear you felt well taken care of.
We would be happy to welcome you all back anytime.
Very clean and beautifully decorated. Lots of space for family members. Fully stocked kitchen and pantry. If I need a place in the Des Moines area, this is the first place I will look.
Great host who cares about his patrons! He was Johnny-on-the-Spot to help us with an issue and followed up to make sure everything was ok. If you have an event at Northbridge or want to stay close to the fair or Adventure Land, this is the place to be!
This is our second time coming back to this VRBO and we hope to make it an annual event. The hosts are helpful and thoughtful, the place is both beautifully decorated and comfortable, and it’s perfect for getting together with my high school friends and their daughters. We absolutely love it here :)

Heather, thank you for sharing this. It is really special that your group comes together each year and creates these memories. Knowing the place adds to that time with your friends and daughters, makes your review feel even more meaningful. You all were wonderful guests, and we are excited to welcome you back next year!
We had a wonderful stay for our family Easter. The home is beautiful and clean. The kitchen is fully stocked with all necessary dishes and cooking necessities. There were many games to keep us entertained. The hot tub was awesome. The host, Michael, was very responsive and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable. I HIGHLY recommend this property.
What a wonderful property! Very spacious and beautifully staged. Felt very welcoming. The host was very quick to respond to questions. The location was wonderful to get to the nearby theme park and shopping outlets. It was the perfect home base for our large family. The teens really enjoyed the privacy and space of the lower level. The hot tub was clean and easy to use. We also enjoyed the fire pit! The host supplied plenty of towels and the kitchen was so well stocked with all the appliances and utensils you could want. The Keurig was great to have a fast cup of coffee before we ventured out. Plenty of TVs so everyone could watch what they wanted. Definitely would recommend to anyone wanting a place to land while enjoying the local attractions! Great neighborhood!
Where to begin? This place was simply perfect from start to finish. Five adult friends enjoying a girl's weekend. This house had everything we needed from plenty of towels to toiletries to comfortable beds to a glorious hot tub. Micheal was responsive to any questions or concerns that came up and quickly resolved when possible. We were greeted with a sweet note and goodies for our special weekend. The neighborhood was fantastic and easy to get to many locations. Having stayed at a lot of places, this was one of my favorite places hands down for a weekend of relaxation, conversation, and connection. If you are thinking about this place, just do it. You won't regret it!
Had such a great stay here. The host was extremely communicative leading up to our stay, making the check in process seamless. They also went above and beyond making our stay memorable. They provided snacks for our planned movie night which was so sweet and such a fun surprise to be greeted with. The entire space felt clean and well organized. Furniture was exactly what you would want and need for a home like this. Will definitely book with them again.

It was amazing experience. The house was clean and very well stocked for our needs. The hosts were very communicative to make sure we had everything we need. They even went the extra mile to include personalized touches for our sister getaway. It felt like home everything was so comfortable. We will absolutely come back again we loved everything so much.

Thank you, Stefanie! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your stay and that everything felt just right for your trip. You’re always welcome back, and we look forward to hosting you again on future visits.
We enjoyed our stay at this house! The hosts went above and beyond to make this house a home for those visiting. Communication was prompt, house was very clean, kitchen very well stocked. My son was playing baseball at principal park, so we were downtown everyday. It was a quick 12-15 min drive and was super easy to get around. Our guests ranged from age 86 to 7years. And it was very accommodating to all ages. Thank you Micheal for a great stay. Hoping to come back next spring
