Family Christmas

Our family of 5 adults and 4 children stayed at the Woodland house from December 21 to 25. Our daughter's family of 5 that lives in the area joined us during the day. The house has plenty of room up and down. The basement area was especially nice for the kids and adults to play with plenty of space for cards, playing pool or ping pong. Full size laundry was very helpful. We contacted the host a couple times for needed items (wine glasses and tv remotes). They responded in a timely manner. Beds were very comfortable and there were more than enough towels. The kitchen has plenty of plates, glasses, cups and service ware. I recommend more dish towels in the kitchen and an additional blanket available for each bed. The bedroom with the king bed was very cool at night. Overall, we had a wonderful time spending time together in a home with plenty of space for a large group.

3 days of family and fun!

This was a perfect place for my 2 siblings, their spouses, and my adult special needs nephew to stay for our cousin reunion and visit to the Iowa State Fair! The basement rec room is amazing! All appliances were in good working order and we loved using the new washer & dryer. The amenities left in the bathroom were more than you get in hotels. Towel quality and size were great. NO postage stamp size bath towels here! We grew up in Des Moines in the 50’s & 60’s so we felt very much at home here. Loved the seclusion and quiet of the location. Easy to get everywhere from here. Will DEFINITELY rebook for future family get togethers.

Good VRBO for 2 nights

We had 11 adults and 2 kids. I felt the bedrooms upstairs were good and used pack n play supplied. My husband and I slept down in the room that had a table and pac man video machine in basement. We had our double high air mattress in there, but I feel the owners could put a queen size bed in that room cause it connects to bathroom. Our other single adult slept on bunkbeds in basement but no privacy in main part of basement. We were mostly couples so didn’t utilize all the beds upstairs. There were 2 big refrigerators which was great. Kitchen was great and lots of seating. Had condiments and spices there. Would stay here again. Great location near Grays Lake and winery.

Disappointing isn't a strong enough word

This property is misrepresented as a 5 bedroom when it's really a 4. We weren't advised that the indoor pool was drained in the summer and we were unable to swim as it rained during our stay. We were also provided with the wrong access code for the house. It took 45 minutes and multiple attempts by me (phone calls, texts, and vrbo chat) and vrbo to get in touch with the host. We advised host of the misrepresentations of the bedrooms and amenities along with housekeeping deficiencies. The host did replace the filthy/unusable grill and a lightbulb, but adamantly insisted the housekeeping issues I tried to bring to his attention were fabricated despite photographic proof. He became condescending, erratic, and hostile in his messages to me, going so far as to blame me for my inability to contact him during check in. I didn't feel safe enough for my family to live out our stay so we checked out early. He refused any sort of compensation/refund. We have a case open with VRBO regarding this matter. He has since altered his listing to remove the misleading photo of the bunk room as well as changed some of the descriptions. However, still up and incorrect are the indoor pool, 6 toilets (there are only 4), and the ability to sleep 25 (maybe if people are okay sleeping on the floor). I could go on, but due to the character limits I’m left to leave it at that.

The house was nice! It is an older house that has been remodeled. Obviously, like with any older house, there were some small issues but Steven took care of them immediately. Don't expect anything fancy, but for the price, it was great! The game room downstairs was awesome to keep kids entertained! We would definitely stay there again.

We booked on short notice for family and friends attending a wedding. Check in was simple and easy. We arrived around 9PM and couldn’t find a remote for the living room TV.
