The home was very comfortable for our family of 4. We had family with young children come over one of the nights and they had a blast in the lower level with the games and toys. The house was clean and well appointed. We would definitely stay here again.

We have stayed here last year and it was just as good this time around. We noticed the outside was painted, and it looks good. All the bed & baths are so clean and very stylish, and the mattresses are totally comfortable! The open kitchen/living room is perfect for hanging out together,

Very clean property. Easily slept the seven adults and three children in our party. The children especially enjoyed the arcade games. Definitely would rent again if the need arises.
We had a quick weekend away with family and it was the perfect spot! Anything you could have needed was available! Check in and out process was seemless and the hosts were super responsive when asked about running trails nearby. Will definitely stay here again!

I highly recommend this property. It was a great size for our family and just the little touches like offering toiletries, dishwasher tabs, laundry detergent, and coffee were so helpful for our short stay. We only had one small issue and the owner was quick to fix and available by message with any questions. We will definitely look to stay at this place on our next visit to Des Moines.
