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

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.

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!

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 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!

We didn’t use any of the outdoor features due to cold weather, but they looked inviting. Kitchen was furnished well. Popcorn popper was a fun amenity. Two queen beds and king bed were comfortable as were the cushy recliners in the living room. Futons, not so much. Nice big kitchen table. We were in town for a funeral and the location was perfect as it is close to the airport and hotels where other relatives were staying. It was a nice place for family members to come and visit. I would suggest to the owner to trim the branch that hangs low above the driveway and label the light switches.

Host was very nice, and prompt. There were some disappointments with the property. We really wanted to use the hibachi grill but it was rusted out. There was also a man who came and went to a building out back by playground and hot tub. Made my kids not want to be outdoors by themselves. Some of the pans need to be replaced and the sheets have stains. Its hopefully a work in progress as it has potential.

Cob webs all over the house with spiders. Mice in the home. Hot tub temp said 101 degrees and it wasn't even close to 90. Chemicals were off due to the smell. Blackstone grill was rusted over and unusable along with the other 2 grills. Propane was empty on the outdoor fire pit, thus unusable.
