The house was fantastic! We had five people and were in town for a wedding. This house perfectly suited our needs. The kitchen was well-stocked, and the bathrooms had plenty of towels. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again!
The house was great. We had 9 people, which was the perfect fit. The kitchen is stocked, the bathrooms had plenty of towels, and the living rooms were clean. Enjoyed our time!
The overall home was clean and host communicated great. Upon arrival the downstairs smelled very heavily of smoke, which was frustrating due to one of the guest allergies. Thanks to the first day of nice weather, we were able to open window and air out a bit. Other than that it was a great stay. We had a huge snow storm while staying, and the host had the snow cleared while we were out for the day.
Property was very clean, neighborhood was quiet and the property was exactly as represented. We enjoyed the pool table in the basement and the closeness to grocery shopping. Would definitely stay here again.
Our family stayed here for the weekend for a Drake football game. It is a great location. It if a very comfortable home and had everything that we needed to cook our meals for the weekend. We would absolutely stay here again in the future.
Enjoyed a two night stay at this property. Comfortable beds, clean rooms. Nice space to play board games, watch movies, shoot pool and visit. Property manager was attentive.
We just needed a place to stay for a family funeral north of Des Moines. This place was located close to all the things we needed for our trip. A couple of things were missing, but our host quickly supplied those things. It was a very pleasant stay and would recommend to others!
Dan, our host, thought of absokutely everything we would need home from home. The house is beautifully decorated with THE most confortable beds.
This is our go to home whenever we come to Des Moines and I cannot recommend the property more highly
The location
Was great.The only minor complaint I would have were the beds are overly firm, Or if the outside patio furniture had cushions! Otherwise the location was great.The property owner was amazing
The host was really responsive and kind before and throughout the stay. It was my first time using this platform and was greeted with nothing but professionalism and kindness. I would definitely choose them again. Great house for groups!
Our host was great, very responsive to questions and communication. House was what we expected. We didn’t know anything about the area and it seems like it’s in transition but the street the house is on is nice. Would stay here again, it met our needs perfectly.
The property is really nice. The only downside is parking if you have multiple vehicles. The street is very narrow. Otherwise it was perfect for the weekend that we stayed!
Property as listed in description - easy vrbo renter to work with.
Grocery store within walking distance, restaurants all within a 15-20 minute drive.
Close to downtown for events at Hyvee Hall and Fargo Arena.
Comfortably fit 10 in this space sleeping and relaxing space to sprawl out.
Our children are now scattered from Lincoln NE to Iowa City IA so we decided to meet in a somewhat central location to celebrate the holidays. This home is nicely kept. Has 4 beds plus 2 large sectionals. The owner was very responsive.
We stayed here for the Goodguys car show at the fairgrounds over 4th of July weekend. It was the perfect setup for our three adult children, their significant others and our grandchild. Kitchen table was large enough for all of us to sit and eat together. We used the grill, stove, oven, washer, dryer and all worked great. Ample parking for three cars in the driveway. Pool table was fun. Bathrooms were very clean and looked to have been recently remodeled. The beds were very comfortable. House was decorated very cute. I had some questions during our stay and reached out to the host and they responded quickly. I had no issues when staying here. I would recommend.
Dan was a great host! He let me know when he or his team were coming to cut the grass, take care of outdoor trash etc
The house was larger than I expected
The street is a dead end street far from the highway so there is no road noise.
The mattresses are firm
Our party of 8 had a great trip for Junior Olympics!
The space was very clean, organized, and well equipped with everything we needed
We had plenty of room for 5 adults a couple of very tall teens.
Dan, the host was awesome! Very accommodating, easy to reach and helpful.
The location was perfect as we were only a 10 minute drive from the YMCA and never experienced any issues with traffic or congested areas.
Our group made great memories on this trip and will defiantly return for the next event!
