Great centrally located property for everything around Des Moines. Our group really enjoyed the game room/bar area in the basement. Super fun and clean home.
The house was perfect for our family get together, lots of space, great quality and very clean. Check-in was very simple and the hosts were great to work with.
We scheduled a last minute trip to see family over Christmas in Ankeny. There was only 1 VRBO available in town to accommodate our crew. Place was great, perfect for our time with family.
Very clean house that met our needs. Easy to locate, easy entry and enjoyed the pool table that converted to ping pong, and the additional board games at night. Loved the deck for meals and the different seating areas in the house. Would definitely stay again!
Wow! This house is fabulous! Very well done & attention to detail and ready to serve their guests! We had a group of 10 women stay together in this house! It was perfect with the amount of beds, bathrooms, eating and relaxing areas and we even enjoyed eating lunch on the deck! The owners were fabulous also! Everything about our stay was absolutely perfect! I highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again!
This property is in a great location. It is well-maintained and perfect for a group of friends or extended family. We especially enjoyed spending time downstairs around the pool table and bar area. Plus, the upstairs kitchen and living area were open so we could enjoy conversation while cooking and watching TV. The hosts were very responsive to questions and issues. We would definitely stay here again.
We stayed for a weekend at this property and it was wonderful. Lots of room for everyone to roam and enough beds for all of us. It was clean and spotless and would highly recommend this property to anyone. Loved seeing the Christmas lights in the neighborhood that was up. It was a good experience for all of us.
Very clean property just as listed. 13 of us from 1 to 74 had a great family time together. Highlights included a pool tournament organized by 9 yr old grandson. Grandpa won.
We played golf all over the Des Moines area and chose this house as home base. The house was fantastic. Everyone had their own room and space. The house wasw super clean and modern. Would stay again if in the area!
Thanks!
The property is spacious with enough bedrooms and bathrooms for 8 adults and 4 children. The kids have plenty of space to run. With having the kitchen table and dining room table, we had plenty of places to sit for meals and also play games. We enjoyed the pool table and ping pong table. Love that they put up a Christmas tree for us to put our presents under.
We stayed while our duaghter/granddaughter played in a softball tourney. Very at home feel and space for everyone to have private stay. Renters were more than helpful with questions and check-in. The neighborhood is quiet and it was perfect access for us to Waukee, Grimes, and Des Moines. Plenty of food and convenience stores nearby. Felt right at home.
Jeff and Abby are fantastic hosts. Very easy to communicate with. It's been 4 years since our whole family has been able to be together. The home had everything we needed and so many good spaces for conversation, eating and entertainment. Would definitely use this home again and recommend it for anyone looking for something in the Ankeny area.
This house was perfect for our family gathering. We found it well-stocked with kitchenware, games, activities and gathering spaces. The bedrooms were comfortable and nicely accommodated our group of eleven. The house is located in a quiet residential neighborhood that’s convenient and easily accessible. Hosts Abby and Jeff provided us with everything we needed to know about the property so check-in and getting settled were very easy. We certainly hope to return.
This house was well located for my family coming in from Nebraska, Missouri, and northern Iowa. It was spacious, very clean and with great amenities. We were able to have a great Christmas celebration without being on top of each other. Also bonus surprise was the Christmas tree!
What a wonderful stay for my family. We were able to all be together. Ate our meals together. Didn’t have to stay in a smelly, crowed hotel. Plenty of space for all to spread out. Wonderful house. Well stocked with necessities. Couldn’t have been better. Will do again when we all gather in Ankeny
Pictures do not do this house justice! It was much more spacious than expected. Very clean and well organized. Our family enjoyed the peace and quiet of the neighborhood. It was nice to be able to unload our food and such from inside the garage right into the kitchen. Overall, a very good experience! Thank you Abby and Jeff for the good communication also.
We had extended family come to town from several different states for our granddaughter’s 1st birthday. This house was perfect to accommodate all of us from a newborn to 80 year old Great-grandmother. The house has a great open concept which allowed us plenty of room to all be together during the day and yet provided good privacy with bedrooms separated between levels at night. We will definitely stay here again! Highly recommend this home to anyone visiting Ankeny, Iowa.
If I could give this property 100 stars I would!! It is amazing!! We were in town for my daughter's wedding reception and this house filled every need!! We even had a sendoff brunch for family and friends and the space fit us all!! You will want for nothing in this house. Completely stocked right down to the comfy throw blankets in the living room. We felt like we were home. Great communication with our hosts!! We loved it and we're so grateful to have a house that felt like home!!
