Host was very nice, and prompt. There were some disappointments with the property. We really wanted to use the hibachi grill but it was rusted out. There was also a man who came and went to a building out back by playground and hot tub. Made my kids not want to be outdoors by themselves. Some of the pans need to be replaced and the sheets have stains. Its hopefully a work in progress as it has potential.

It was a little dirty, but not the worst we ever stayed at. Puzzle pieces were missing and not in the correct boxes. Other than that was a very nice place. The host checked in frequently to make sure everything was okay.

The property was accurate to the listing. We generally always select properties with either a hot tub or pool. We were unable to utilize the hot tub during our stay, due to it's smell, which was highly disappointing.

This was such a great place for my friends and me to stay. We needed a nice comfortable place where we could spend an evening catching up and enjoying each other's company and this house was perfect for that. Everything was nice and clean and the hosts have gone above and beyond with the amenities they provided. We would definitely stay here again!

Great space!!

Stayed here with a handful of my buddies for the weekend of a wedding and the space was perfect! Being so close to the airport definitely saved us a ton of trouble. Plenty of room to hang out with more friends who were in town and the host was very accommodating of that!!

Wedding visitors

The description for the upstairs bedroom says there are 2 king beds and 2 futons. The Keurig coffee maker did not work as it needs descaling and its dirty. The throw blankets need to be washed and the furniture had alot of dust. There was only a few rolls of toilet paper. The property has so much potential but it needs better cleaning. We like the parts that were redone-very nice. The house smells musty. The outdoor area is fabulous and hot tub too! I would consider renting again but it does need cleaning.

Lovely place for a family party

Had a lovely stay and had a small party with family and friends. Check-in was seemless, host quickly fixed a small issue with the WiFi. Mattresses were WONDERFUL. Furniture is eclectic but very comfy. Young adults loved the hot tub.

I wish i knew about the person coming and going thats living in the garage, that was a little scary for me. Hot tub was great, master bedroom upstairs has lots of room. Living room was very large.

So nice to soak!

Three of my girlfriends and I stayed here for a girls trip. The hot tub is what made us choose this property and it did not disappoint! We had a wonderful time soaking and chatting. Steve was a very helpful host with excellent communication and hospitality. The property was clean and comfortable. The check in and check out process was easy and the location was excellent. We look forward to staying here again

Great location

We came for the Hillbilly Hike run and it was perfect. The location was great, close to things to do but not too close, perfect neighborhood. The owner was awesome, I had to contact him because some of the girls thought beeping was coming from the room. He found it in one of the girls purses, nothing to do with the house. I am happy that we found this little oasis in Des Moines!

Great short stay

A few of my nursing school friends and I got together for an anniversary weekend. We did not spend a ton of time at the house, and we only stayed for one night, but it was very comfortable and easy to find. We used the hot tub, which was very relaxing, and we all slept great. Any communication we had with the property owner was replied to quickly, and he made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
