Graceland has it all and is the GrandDaddy of all vacation rentals in Greater Des Moines! It sits right in the hottest district in West Des Moines and just 10 blocks from the interstate so it's quick to get to. It's right next to the best shopping (Jordan Creek, West Glen and 6 other shopping centers), all the best restaurants, kid and teen places, and tons of nightlife options too!
Enjoy 5 acres, a pond, a spacious 4600 square foot home AND A beautiful PARTY BARN (heated and air-conditioned) on property. Graceland also boasts an enormous kids play tower, fire pit, tetherball, a hammock, bocce ball, 2 giant Jengas, giant yard Yatzy, board games, a field for softball or whatever you want, Sonos speakers, 2 living rooms (one for kids), an office area with desk, printer, and monitor, and a large granite chef's kitchen with everything you may need for preparing/ serving/ entertaining/ hosting large groups including a commercial ice maker (we are NOT messing around!). Not to mention the 30-foot x 45-foot party barn with a video game arcade (Golden Tee, Big Buck Hunter Safari, Silver Strike), pool table, ping pong, a bar, refrigerator, microwave, 85” tv, Sonos sound system, etc… It's amazing and just had a complete renovation complete with 13 foot granite, bar cabinets and seating.
Let’s not forget the other extras... Graceland is stocked with comfy beds, great linens, towels so fluffy you can only fit three on a shelf, and a master suite that is sure to please all guests with walk-in shower, an adjustable Tempur-Pedic that will absolutely spoil you, 75" led tv, and fireplace.
This property is perfect for families to relax or play till they just can’t play anymore. There are deer that visit daily! The deer visit all day long and are fun to watch.

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

Fantastic location, gorgeous property, excellent host.

Bedrooms, bathrooms, and living space were perfect for a large family get together. House is stocked with little extras to help make your stay perfect. The hot tub was not working and the sink in the party barn was out of order, but otherwise fantastic!

Graceland was Great!

This property lived up to its VRBO listing and reviews. It is clean,spacious, well-appointed, and well-stocked with everything from coffee to toothpaste. We had no problems at all.

Wedding reception

We had a very small and intimate wedding at Jester Park, and reserved this property for our reception. It was perfect! The party barn was very spacious and had more than enough room for our events. And the house was beautiful and had so much space! And that double headed shower was amazing!! Would definitely recommend.

Three generations of family enjoyed staying at this property. Plenty to do for everyone with the arcade barn, play equipment and big yard. We were able to enjoy the indoor pool at the other location. Location of the property gives both the feel of being in the country while having city amenities close.
