Our stay was outstanding with the house well described and functional for our family. It was quiet and full of windows allowing us to see the abundance of birds, rabbits & squirrels, as well as a deer walking through the creek bed. Everything about our stay was excellent including the communication and directions. We would recommend this to friends and family! Great experience!

This is the third time we have stayed in this beautiful home. We plan to continue coming back when we travel to the area. The beds were comfortable and the atmosphere was relaxing. The house was very inviting, clean, and it felt like our home away from home. There were plenty of amenities already there for our stay. There were also some noticeable improvements since our last stay! The house is also in an excellent location!The host was very friendly and responsive. His communication was excellent. We highly recommend any bookings with him. Thanks again! See ya next time!

Great place to enjoy country style living

We had a large group that traveled into the area for a car show and we decided to rent a house rather than a hotel and we couldn’t have been more happy with what we got with this property.Great communication with our host and it was exactly what we were looking for, looking forward to staying here again

Great family stay!

This house is in a quiet location very close to Adventure Land and Walmart. The space was perfect for our 4 teens to spread out and do their own things. There’s a nice yard and patio space as well. We highly recommend this house for large family stays!

Great place to stay while hitting some of the local gold courses

Everything went well, the property has some quirks but plenty of space for everyone. I would like this place to get a grill, at least a nice charcoal one.

Great stay!!

The property was just as expected or a little more spacious in fact. Had all of the items that we needed and very clean. We were in town for the National Finals Rodeo at the Fairgrounds and was an easy commute.

We were looking for house that was in a quiet area on the east side of Des Moines metro. This house was perfect. When the blizzard hit, we watched it from the large living room windows. Actually saw 15 deer cross the creek. Nice place to chill. Steve was great, responding to any messages we sent his way.
