    About Your Host-
    I love to make people happy and that exactly what my properties are designed for. I'm a landlord by trade. I have apartment complexes and rental homes. Then six years ago I created my first vacation rental property, and it grew from there. I offer vacation rentals because it's fun! Making sure groups are set up to have a blast is a challenge that I find very rewarding. I take this seriously. Being a big kid at heart, I make it my mission to deliver the fun for kids- also being one who appreciates nice things, I deliver comfort and attention to detail for the adults. I truly desire for you to have the most fun and relaxation as possible, and with the fewest hassles as well. That is why we put in so much effort before you get there. We provide and offer many things that set us apart. Things like super comfy beds, awesome fluffy towels, mints, coffee, toothpaste and toothbrushes, luxurious body care products, personal care products, make-up removing towelettes, and others as well. I hope to get to take care of you and your crew soon! May you have and awesome trip wherever you stay...and may God bless you. Sincerely ~Steven

    Great home base
    We came in town for a soccer tournament and it was a perfect location between different fields and gave the players (and parents) a wonderful place to relax after matches. Kids might have played more ping pong than soccer! Thanks again

    family gathering
    This was an ideal place for our gathering, which included 7 teens and nine adults. The game room was great for everybody, and plenty of space for those who wanted to read, etc. The teens especially enjoyed the pool with all its amenities, even though it was an excursion to get there. Nice, homey place to stay.

    Fun Place for a family gathering.
    Stayed here with family ranging in age from littles to adults. Kids and adults had fun playing in the party room. Plenty of beds for everyone to sleep in. Location was great for shopping and finding restaurants.

    Mom’s surprise birthday slumber party
    This house worked perfect for our birthday/slumber party. With 4 generations ranging from 1 1/2 to 76 everyone was comfortable and had fun (especially in the game room). The home owner had a beautiful home that was nicely renovated and very accommodating!

    Great location and full of amenities
    We were in DesMoine for family vacation and to go to the Iowa State Fair. We used the grill and kitchen to make most meals. We all enjoyed the game room and ping pong matches. There was plenty of room and the beds were comfortable. We would stay here again if we come back to DesMoine!

    Good stay
    We were in town for the Junior Olympics that was hosted at Drake University and had an overall good stay. Property is nice and in a quiet neighborhood. Game room was a hit for our two kids. The home is very spacious to spread out if you have a larger family. There are a couple TVs one in the living room and one in the game room. The only downfall we had was a little trouble with the upstairs sink, but we managed and there is only one shower, but we were aware of that ahead of time and made it work. For the price we received and location to Drake University, it made the stay worth it even though there was the one shower. The location is perfect for shopping and grocery. Would consider staying again.
