My siblings meet several times a year and invite all our kids to join us for a day of fun and relaxation. Casa Dean fit our needs very well! There is a large remodeled kitchen and a huge living room. Since the weather was beautiful, we spent a lot of our time outside. There is a covered patio area with plenty of room for all of us to sit and relax. There is an updated heat and cooling system in the house. It was very easy for us to set it at a comfortable level. The host Matt, was very quick to reply to any questions I had before our stay. The home is older and we really appreciated its unique design and beautiful, extremely tall doors!

Live rodent found upon arrival — proceed with caution.Within 30 minutes of arriving and unloading our luggage, we discovered a live mouse running through the house. When we notified the hosts, their solution was to send someone over with traps and chemical spray to "put us at ease." Unsurprisingly, we were extremely uncomfortable staying in a property with an active pest issue and elected to leave immediately.Despite not staying a single night, a full refund was not offered up front. We had to negotiate just to be refunded for the unused nights, and we were still forced to pay for one night's stay along with the full cleaning fee, service fees, and taxes. We cannot recommend this property due to both the hygiene concerns and the poor resolution management.

Matt was a great host! He gave great directions to get to the property and how to checkin and out. The house is beautiful! It was a short drive to the fairgrounds and was great for multiple families to stay in, definitely beats a hotel. We didn't get to enjoy the outdoor seating due to frigid temps and a snow storm, but it looked like a great place to hang out when the weather is nice. I would highly recommend and we would stay here again!

Stayed here for my bachelorette party. Loved that everyone had their own bed, there were plenty of bathrooms, lots of space in the dining and living rooms, and huge kitchen. Would definitely come back!

We had a great Thanksgiving weekend family gathering in Casa Dean. Lots of space to be together or spread apart as needed. They were on top of snow removal during a significant weather event. Matt was great about checking in on us. We hope to stay again!

Our group of 16 had a great stay at this spacious home. The comfortable bedrooms were easily shared, and though the house was warm during the day, it was comfortable at night. The kitchen was adequately equipped, but could benefit from additional basic items like pots, pans, and measuring cups.

Host was excellent! Everything was very clean. I just assumed from pics online that it was located out of town but we didn’t have any issues. The chicken smell outside wasn’t great Other than that it was perfect.. beds/pillows were comfy. Shower pressure was excellent

Location, location, location!

Beautiful house and roomy for all of us. We had a group of 16 and did not feel overwhelmed or crowded at all. Perfect location to the fairgrounds and restaurants. Big, roomy driveway for parking cars and trucks/trailers. Only downfall, was the upstairs was warm, but the owner fixed the situation quickly. Great communication! Would love to use this property again in the future!

Check in was super easy. House is beautiful, very historic. If you come in the heat of summer the upstairs air conditioning is not the best. Keep all the drapes closed and fans running. Could use some ceiling fans to help move air. Otherwise it was very convenient to get to the state fair grounds.

Great place to stay!!

This house is amazing for a larger group! Plenty of space to lounge & sleep without feeling over-crowded. Nice big kitchen and fridge with freezer to make our own meals. The bbq grill & outside patio with fire pit was perfect at night. Plenty of towels for showering, and appreciated the soap for sinks; many vrbos do not provide that. Matt was very responsive & made sure we had everything we needed! We did not utilize the game room in the garage, but hope to be back some day so we can! Definitely recommend this place!

Perfect for a family Weekend in Des Moines

The property was more the great for our stay in Des Moines! The house is HUGE! very clean well maintained. Plenty of space for us all to spread out. We really appreciated having coffee there for us. Beds were comfortable and plenty of them too! The outside space was great as well. And there was ample parking off the street. We will definitely return for our next family get together in Des Moines. Thank you to the host for being a great communicator as well.
