This was a perfect property for us, as we visited our DesMoines relative from out of town. The host/owner was exceptionally responsive to all questions and needs. The hot tub was amazing!

So nice to soak!

Three of my girlfriends and I stayed here for a girls trip. The hot tub is what made us choose this property and it did not disappoint! We had a wonderful time soaking and chatting. Steve was a very helpful host with excellent communication and hospitality. The property was clean and comfortable. The check in and check out process was easy and the location was excellent. We look forward to staying here again

Great short stay

A few of my nursing school friends and I got together for an anniversary weekend. We did not spend a ton of time at the house, and we only stayed for one night, but it was very comfortable and easy to find. We used the hot tub, which was very relaxing, and we all slept great. Any communication we had with the property owner was replied to quickly, and he made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Great location

We came for the Hillbilly Hike run and it was perfect. The location was great, close to things to do but not too close, perfect neighborhood. The owner was awesome, I had to contact him because some of the girls thought beeping was coming from the room. He found it in one of the girls purses, nothing to do with the house. I am happy that we found this little oasis in Des Moines!

Weekend Stay

I wish i knew about the person coming and going thats living in the garage, that was a little scary for me. Hot tub was great, master bedroom upstairs has lots of room. Living room was very large. Things need some repairs, but it was clean and quite. People mentioned the airport, never had a single issuewith it.issue with it.

Rutledge family

Overall the place was perfect for my family and pet dog who loved the big yard and the family LOVED the hottub and outdoor cooking options and used them all. The bedrooms were large enough and the kitchen had all the amenities we needed. If an option for a washer/dryer was available for larger groups (over3 for more than 4days) it would be so convenient, and we could even wash the linens on the way out as is standard in several places I have stayed. The place seemed a bit dusty and may need to vacuum more including curtains and upstairs as well as furniture. However, we would certainly recommend this place as the owner was great and the location near the airport was super. We especially enjoyed the outdoor space. Thank you making our family reunion so easy and wonderful

This space was very nice and had lot of amenities. The space had a vintage vibe to it. There was also a cute cat that lives under the porch that was super friendly. Could have been a little cleaner as there were spider webs in many of the doorframes.

This was such a great place for my friends and me to stay. We needed a nice comfortable place where we could spend an evening catching up and enjoying each other's company and this house was perfect for that. Everything was nice and clean and the hosts have gone above and beyond with the amenities they provided. We would definitely stay here again!

Stayed here with a handful of my buddies for the weekend of a wedding and the space was perfect! Being so close to the airport definitely saved us a ton of trouble. Plenty of room to hang out with more friends who were in town and the host was very accommodating of that!!
