About this property

Fireside Bougie Marsh Cinema Retreat w/100” HDTV Screen

Not your average basement. Private, locked, lower-level escape with boutique vibes. Watch movies on a 100” screen from heated, massaging recliners, unwind by the fireplace, or relax in hanging swings. King bed, space for 5, full kitchen, and clean modern bath. Cozy, unique, and designed for a memorable stay.
Just minutes from the I-35 and I-80 interchange.

Welcome to your own private, lower-level escape where movie nights feel like a VIP experience, the fireplace is always setting the mood, and yes—there are swings (because why not?).
Start your evening sinking into heated theater seating in front of a 100” TV screen, drink in hand, pretending you’ll only watch one movie. (You won’t.) When it’s time to wind down, retreat to the king bed for a seriously good night’s sleep, while your guests or crew settle into the cozy additional sleeping spaces nearby.
The vibe? Think boutique hotel meets cozy marsh retreat—with just the right touch of playful charm. You’ll spot subtle duck details woven into the décor (tasteful, not tacky—we promise), giving the space a personality you won’t forget.
What you’ll love:
• Private cinema setup with heated massaging recliners + 100” screen
• Fireplace ambiance that makes everything feel extra cozy
• Hanging chair swings—equal parts aesthetic + relaxing
• King bedroom + space for up to 5 guests
• Full kitchen for coffee, snacks, or staying in entirely
• A bougie marsh vibe you didn’t know you needed
Perfect for:
• Couples who want a cozy night in (but elevated)
• Small groups who appreciate a fun, memorable stay
• Anyone who chooses vibes over boring
Close enough to the West Des Moines area for convenience—far enough to actually relax.
The bottom line:
If you’re looking for basic, this isn’t it.
If you want cozy, a little bougie, and just different enough to feel special… you’ll love it here.
Come for the stay. Stay for the vibe.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Lisa—originally from Waterloo, Iowa. I’m all about creating beautiful, eye-catching spaces with a fun, elevated twist.
Hosting is something I genuinely love—I want you to feel welcomed, relaxed, and a little spoiled during your stay. My goal is simple: give you a luxe experience you’ll remember… and hopefully inspire you to pass that same good energy on wherever you go next.

Why they chose this property

I chose this neighborhood for its rare blend of warmth and charm—where neighbors greet you with a friendly wave and the pace feels just a bit more relaxed. It offers the perfect balance of convenience and escape: close enough to the city, yet far enough to enjoy peaceful evenings and stargazing on clear nights.

What makes this property unique

What makes this space truly unique is its blend of comfort, style, and entertainment. Enjoy a stunning 100” 4K HDTV for the ultimate movie night, unwind in two ceiling-hung relaxation swings, or gather around the lush curved green sofa and round dining table—complete with a felt cover for elevated poker nights.
The private king suite offers a true retreat, featuring a walk-in closet, while additional sleeping spaces in the all in one room comfortably accommodate up to five guests total. A fully equipped kitchen completes the experience, making it perfect for both relaxing stays and memorable nights in.
