About Your Host-
I love to make people happy and that exactly what my properties are designed for. I'm a landlord by trade. I have apartment complexes and rental homes. Then six years ago I created my first vacation rental property, and it grew from there. I offer vacation rentals because it's fun! Making sure groups are set up to have a blast is a challenge that I find very rewarding. I take this seriously. Being a big kid at heart, I make it my mission to deliver the fun for kids- also being one who appreciates nice things, I deliver comfort and attention to detail for the adults. I truly desire for you to have the most fun and relaxation as possible, and with the fewest hassles as well. That is why we put in so much effort before you get there. We provide and offer many things that set us apart. Things like super comfy beds, awesome fluffy towels, mints, coffee, toothpaste and toothbrushes, luxurious body care products, personal care products, make-up removing towelettes, and others as well. I hope to get to take care of you and your crew soon! May you have and awesome trip wherever you stay...and may God bless you. Sincerely ~Steven

Great Game Room

Our large group of 8 adults and 5 kids had tons of fun in the game room! Kids spent the entire time there. So much fun and things to do in that space! There are lots of beds and they were pretty comfortable. The kitchen is pretty small with minimal counter space and lacking in supplies. The bathroom setup is a little misleading, there is a full bath upstairs, tiny sink & toilet on the main floor and a shower and sink only in the basement which smells super damp and musty. One awesome feature is that they have all the streaming services already setup and ready for you to watch!

Very clean property with lots of sleeping areas! Was nice we didn’t have to bring a bunch of extra things for our stay because it was provided! Only recommendation is letting guests know about what side of the street to park on if they need to park on the street as one of our friends almost got a ticket when visiting us during our stay.

Stay In Des Moines

The house is beautiful, the property pictures look exactly as shown. We did have a few slight issues, blown breakers and the house smelled of cat urine. Overall we had a good stay however the scent was very off putting but we enjoyed the property.

Worked great for the size of our group

The home is big and worked well for the size of our group. We enjoyed the remodeled garage / game room and the nice touch of board games included. The cleaners were still there when we arrived to check in and I think they left a little more pet hair than I expected to see.

House was perfect, clean and in a great location.

The house was great for our group. We had 10 people staying and had enough good quality beds for all of us. House was clean and the AC ran nice and cool. Garage game room area was a great hang out and socialize. Bathrooms were fully stocked with towels and toiletries. Communication with the property management was prompt and timely. Highly recommend this property for larger groups. We would definitely be happy to stay there again. Thank you for hosting us!

Fun, adjustable lighting for dancing and hanging out, tons of space, and a bar area with a fridge. The boat communicated well and left clear instructions for check in and out.
