LARGE Mid Century Home - Pool, Hot Tub, Tiki Bar, Bridal Suite, Patio, 4 Acres

Our 1948 Mid-Century vacation home is nestled on 4 acres of beautiful open land. We welcome you to enjoy a unique and authentic experience jumping back in time with themed rooms ranging from Art Deco, Country Cottage, Groovy 1970’s, Vintage Tiki, and classic Mid-Century design. Our home sleeps up to 10 people with 2 Queen Beds, 2 Twin Beds, and 2 Double Sleeper Sofas. We also have 3 full baths and 2 half baths. Beyond having a charming 1950’s kitchen and spacious dining and living areas, we also have a 1970’s themed TV and Game Room stocked with over 30 games and puzzles, an authentic Tiki Bar with a peacock chair, wet bar, and bar supplies, a Children’s Playroom filled with books, toys, and a fort, as well as a Bridal Suite/Dressing Room with an Art Deco vanity that doubles as a bedroom - and outside, a six person hot tub available year-round!

From late Spring through Summer, we have a large 16x40ft pool (guaranteed to be open 5/26 - 9/5, but will do everything possible to have it open well before and after those dates based on weather!), lounge chairs, and outdoor eating areas. Year round, we have a six person hot tub, a wood burning firepit and spacious grounds to explore including a wood bridge and secret nature trail.

Our bathrooms are stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and soap. We have over 100 books throughout the home for guests to enjoy. Our game room has an abundance of vinyl records and games. Our kitchen is stocked with cook/bakeware, cookbooks, and Lenox dish ware. We have 2 smart TVs (one off the kitchen and the other in the family room).

We are located just 15 minutes north of downtown Des Moines and are within a mile of a high end grocery store and shopping complex filled with great restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques. We believe the Des Moines area is a hidden gem with an abundance of fine dining, antique stores, high end boutiques, breweries, bike trails, the largest skate park in the country, live music, family activities, nature trails, lakes, and farmers markets.

PLEASE NOTE:
Up to 2 dogs allowed for an additional fee.
***Events/photo shoots are allowed with written permission only and will be an added fee. No events larger than 25 total.***
Garage parking not available. Up to 6 cars can fit comfortably in driveway.
