Cozy Heights Retreat | 10min to Downtown + Laundry

Welcome to Cozy Heights Retreat, your home away from home in peaceful Windsor Heights — just 10 minutes from downtown Des Moines! This warm, periwinkle haven blends comfort, charm, and space for the whole family.

Enjoy 3 comfy bedrooms (3 queens), 2 full baths with walk-in showers, and two inviting living areas — one upstairs off the kitchen and another downstairs with a large sectional and walkout patio. The fully stocked kitchen has everything you need, from a coffee maker to cookware, plus a booth nook, bar seating for 4, and a formal dining room for 8.

Step outside to beautiful outdoor spaces: the fully fenced in backyard is perfect for sunbathing and morning coffee, while the covered patio below features string lights, a BBQ grill, and a large outdoor table for dining or relaxing in the fenced backyard. Families love the baby gear, board games, and high-speed Wi-Fi. The laundry room, free parking for 4 cars, and quiet neighborhood make life easy.

You’ll be close to Simon’s Restaurant, Valley Junction, and local shops — with downtown just minutes away. Clean, cozy, and inviting, Cozy Heights Retreat offers a peaceful stay where comfort meets convenience. 💙
