Great Stay!

This property is in such a conveniently located spot for time in Des Moines as its minutes away from downtown, the fair grounds and an excellent spot for an Adventureland weekend. Interiror was clean and cute with the right amenities.The hosts had excellent communication. We had a small blip with our check in process (which normally would have been very convenient) and I was very satisfied with the speed, professionalism and ability of thr hosts were able to communicate with us and resolve it very quickly. communication

A Gem next to the Fairgrounds!

Our family was in town for the National Junior Simmental Cattle show held at the Fairgrounds. This property was a convenient 5 minutes from the fairgrounds. It was a cozy two bedroom with just enough space for our family of 5. We loved that it was so close to Walgreens & Aldi’s. Clean, Convenient & Cozy! If we are ever in the area again we would definitely book again. The Property owners weee quick to respond and gave us great information prior to our visit!

Great stay

The property is as advertised and very well appointed. Stayed here for a month while working. Comfortable beds, streaming services galore, and great Wi-Fi! Quiet neighborhood. The hosts, Zac and Kaylee, communicated promptly and effectively. Even the towels were huge, fluffy and absorbent. Yea, I’m a towel snob. Would definitely stay again and definitely recommend.
