Everything from the description/pictures was accurate. Home was very clean and organized and all appliances worked flawlessly. Plenty of groceries and restaraunts nearby. Very easy check in/out.
Close to Drake Neighborhood and other restaurants and amenities. Easy to find and get into. Accommodated 10 people (6 adults and 4 kids) Great location and size for what we needed.
This was a great location for our staff retreat. It served as a "home base" for our staff as we took part in activities around town and in neighboring Ames and Boone. Also great, peaceful local neighborhood. Very responsive host. Cute, vintage home with updatesinthe important ateas.
A great space for 4 adults having a 50-years-after-Drake meet up! Every one had their own space. Owner was very responsive and provided everything we needed for a great weekend. Excellent location. We were about 10 minutes away from everything we wanted to see and do.

Dan was amazing to work with and the communication was stellar! Our company had 3 guys that were working in Des Moines and this rental was a perfect location, easy to access, parking, the inside was beautiful, comfortable and we have saved this rental for the next time we have work in Des Moines.
This house truly is charming. There is so much space yet they’ve made it feel so cozy and comforting. Every room is large, beautifully decorated, and clean. My family was only there for a quick night and we were sad we couldn’t stay longer! The neighborhood is quiet and safe -just what we needed for a place to rest our heads while road tripping.
The property was clean and was as advertised. There were some things missing (coffee, dishwasher detergent) when we arrived but the owner was responsive and that was quickly remedied
We were in town for a dog show at the state fairgrounds. It was a beautiful home! Well-maintained, clean, well stocked kitchen, and comfortable beds. Plenty of space for a group with two bedrooms and a half bath upstairs and everything else on the main floor. There's a grocery store in walking distance. Host was very responsive and provided all the information we needed for a smooth check in. This is definitely a property on my "visit again" list!
We had 8 of us in town to see a show in Des Moines, and this house was perfect! Exactly as described and had all the amenities that are listed for the property! Also who is your designer? Asking for me!! Haha!
My family and I stayed here for a family gathering in Des Moines and it was one of the better rental experiences I have had. The house is clean and laid out well, the beds are comfortable with extra pillows, and the neighborhood is really quiet and walkable. There is a grocery store right around the corner so that was convenient as well. The host was very helpful and very accessible, when we needed to see about adding some dates he worked with us and it all went smoothly. Highly recommend this house if you are staying in or around Des Moines.
We loved this property. The only issues we had were the beds were not as comfortable as we would have liked. The king-size bed mattress was wrapped in some kind of plastic or other material that made it very hot for my husband. It was just very uncomfortable and too hard for our taste. We found the one in the back bedroom the most tolerable. The other issue was there were a lot of flies and little nit like flies in the house. It seemed like they came out of nowhere no matter how many we were able to kill. Otherwise, great location, property and management.
We were looking for a comfortable place to stay with family while visiting Des Moines for a special occasion. This house was spacious, with 4 bedrooms and plenty of space for hosting a meal. The location was perfect - central to many shops, restaurants, etc. Dan was a fabulous host and attentive to all of our needs. Highly recommend!
We had a great stay. The house is comfortable and in a great location. There wasn’t a pack and play available for our daughter to sleep in but we were able to borrow one from a friend. It got a little chilly at night, I think just because the house is older, but we brought warm pajamas and were fine. We would stay here again!
When a place advertises sleeps 10 4 bedroom you presume 5 beds and 10 plates and saucers. 4 beds does not translate to 10 adults, so good thing 4 guys is all that came to the trade show. Ran dishwasher every meal to keep up for next meal. Also mentioning needing your own streaming log ins should be in the information as more houses are on the market with no basic tv available. Otherwise clean, plenty hot water, could use extra blankets for those used to having the weight at home. Just be sure to ask all the questions. Safe area and fit our needs.
Excellent stay! Dan was very responsive and helpful with arriving early and trying to accommodate the needs of our children! Will be starting again when we visit!
