"Our stay at this property was excellent. The house is updated and very clean. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms are quite large. Unfortunately the garage was not available as indicated in the property details, which was part of the reason we chose this house when we booked it."

Family-Friendly Des Moines Retreat w/ Patio!

10/10 Excellent

"This lovely, charming home was perfect for the 7 nights my daughter and I stayed. Close to downtown where my daughter was competing and easy to get to. Very responsive host. (Would have loved to sit on the cute porch or patio;however, the heat and humidity was a bit much for me). Air conditioning inside was a lifesaver! Comfortable beds, nice kitchen so prepare meals in, and a cozy living room to relax in the evenings. Appreciated having access to all the same TV streaming services I watch at home. Plenty of room with extra beds in the loft upstairs for the whole family to stay if schedules would have allowed them to come with. Would definitely stay again!"
