About this property

Spacious Ranch Home-5 BR, including 2 King Suites!

Looking for a spacious and comfortable home for your family or group? Look no further than this lovely property, with over 4000 square feet of living space that somehow still manages to feel cozy and serene. With five bedrooms and four bathrooms, this home has been thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of groups large and small. And with high quality furnishings, as well as an unwavering commitment to cleanliness, you can rest easy knowing that time spent in this home will be a delight.

The space
This spacious and thoughtfully designed property is a perfect choice for families or groups who want to forego a separate hotel situation and enjoy each other's company.

Let’s tour the space:
You’ll be greeted by a entry hall that leads to the main living room, dining room, and kitchen.

Looking for a little privacy? Head through the dining room and you'll find the first master suite, complete with a king-sized bed and a large bathroom. And don't worry about fighting over the TV - each bedroom in the home has its own television, so everyone can enjoy their favorite shows in peace.

Speaking of the kitchen, it's fully stocked with everything you need to make a family-sized meal, from nice appliances to pots and pans, utensils, and small appliances like a coffee pot, Keurig, espresso machine, blender, slow cooker, and toaster.

Just through the kitchen, you'll find a full-size washer and dryer conveniently tucked away in their own little cove. And on the other side of the kitchen, there's a second living room.

As you continue through the south wing of the home, you'll find the second master suite, complete with a king bed and attached bathroom. And for the kids or additional guests, there are two more bedrooms that share a bathroom - one with a queen bed, and the other with a twin bunk bed. There is a pack n play and two floor mattresses stored in a closet that can be moved anywhere in the house.

Don’t stop upstairs! In the massive third living area you will find yet another area for your group to create memories. Comfortable sofas, additional dining/game table, ping pong table, dart board and space to run.

On the far end of the basement, you’ll find the fourth full size bathroom and the fifth bedroom! This bedroom has 1 queen bed and 2 twin beds.

The basement also houses a pullout sofa and plenty of floor space if you’d like to bring the two twin floor mattresses downstairs.

We couldn’t be more excited about inviting your family/group into our home. We’ve stayed here ourselves with 19 people and some very loud teens and everyone had plenty of room.

Guest access
When you book this stunning property, you'll have access to the house and yard, giving you plenty of space to relax and unwind with your family or group. And with a driveway that can easily hold up to six cars, as well as additional free street parking, you'll never have to worry about finding a place to park.

Please note that there are two locked closets that hold cleaning supplies and extra linens, ensuring that your stay in this beautiful home is always clean and comfortable.

Anniversary get together

We stayed here to celebrate our parents 40th wedding anniversary. There were 8 adults and 5 littles under the age of 4. There was plenty of space and we all felt like we had our own getaway when we needed it. The hosts are so thoughtful for families as they had some much stuff for kiddos! The house is set up great for family gatherings and was able to accommodate us well. Merle Hay offers lots of fun opportunities to get out and enjoy the city as well!

Christmas 2024

We had a family gathering and this home was perfect for that. It is so much bigger than it looks from the outside. The home was clean, organized and had everything we needed to have our family Christmas celebration. Tonya was very easy to work with and very responsive. Highly recommend this home especially for larger groups.

Clean, comfortable and large house

This was perfect for an early family Christmas as my siblings and our families came to town to visit our aging mother. Tons of space for kids to play and plenty of TV’s to watch the games and cartoons. Host was terrific and we hope to come back next year. Highly recommend!

Best stay ever

My company came to Iowa because we had a booth at the farm progress show. We chose this amazing home because it was going to be five of us coming. We could have not asked for a better place to stay. We were able to get together at the end of each day and talk about strategy for our next day. The house was very clean, plenty of room, and included everything we needed. The host was exceptional. When we come back to Iowa, we will be staying here again!

Excellent!

These hosts understand excellence in rentals. They thought of every single detail, and more. We found it to be perfect in every way, for our family ages of 1 to 75, while in town for our daughter’s wedding. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure that my wedding baking tasks would be as easy as possible. The home is tastefully decorated, spacious, comfortable, spotless, and conveniently located. We would all highly recommend!

Wonderful!

The home was perfect! Very clean and well-maintained in a nice, quiet neighborhood. We only had 9 of us but there was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space while also allowing us to spend of time together as a group. Plenty to do for all ages. Tanya was very quick to respond to some minor issues that came up with the home!

phenomenal stay

This was the perfect place for our family and friends to stay for state wrestling in Des Moines! The basement is huge and we loved the ping pong table, huge sectional couch and pull out couch bed. Plenty of bathrooms with everything needed and we used the kitchen to cook two meals everyday. Nice living room and the dining room table was our hangout spot for cards and laughing! Will definitely book again.

Excellent...perfect for our large family.

What a wonderful property this was. The layout was excellent for a large group with the multiple living spaces, bedrooms and 2 KING suites. The furnishings were modern and comfortable and the decor was top notch. We loved everything about the property, included the nice surprise of a little extra space made available at the last minute. We enjoyed the state of art kitchen and spent every night eating at the massive dining room table and playing one of the many games provided for entertainment. We had a large part of our family with us to see our son graduate from Drake and this house was in the ideal location. Just far enough away to avoid the madness of campus on a very busy weekend of moving out and mutliple graduations, and just close enough to be a very quick and easy (interstate free) commute to the University. We loved it and are very thankful that out of the many options on the area, we chose the perfect one for us.

Beautiful Home & Great Layout

Beautifully remodeled property with great layout! Having two king-bedroom suites a huge plus. Generously sized bedrooms and plenty of common living space to hang and relax. The home was conveniently located in nice neighborhood with a short 10-15-minute commute to downtown. Host was great with communicating pertinent details and providing extra touches in the home. Would highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Tonya

Host profile image
We take pride in providing our guests with a comfortable and memorable vacation experience. We have worked as hosts for vacation homes across the Des Moines metro since 2019. In 2022, a new journey began as we purchased and prepared The Ranch House in Des Moines' Lower Beaver neighborhood. Having an extended family who loves to travel together, we understand the importance of finding the perfect vacation rental for large groups. We're committed to providing you with a comfortable and clean VRBO experience. We can't wait to welcome you to our home away from home.

Why they chose this property

Our spacious and comfortable accommodations are perfect for reunions of friends and loved ones. However, please note that our property is not suitable for hosting parties. We prioritize the safety and well-being of our guests and neighbors, and do not allow loud or disruptive behavior. We ask that you respect our policy and refrain from booking with us if you plan to host a party. That being said, we are excited to provide you with a warm and welcoming environment for your special occasions. Whether you're celebrating a milestone birthday or a long-awaited family reunion, we're here to make sure your stay is as comfortable and memorable as possible.

What makes this property unique

This residence boasts an expansive open layout spanning over 4000 square feet, featuring 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. It diverges from the typical cramped short-term rentals. Numerous visitors have commented on its spaciousness, far beyond their expectations. We understand the importance of personal space, which is why we've provided ample room for everyone. With generous lounge seating for gatherings, a dining table accommodating twelve upstairs, and an additional six-person dining setup in the basement, we ensure comfort and flexibility for our guests.

What sets our property apart is our cleaning approach. The host meticulously oversees the home between guests, managing all laundry and preparing the space for the next occupants. For the cleaning, we employ the expertise of a professional cleaning crew. Collaborating in this manner not only upholds impeccable cleaning standards but also keeps cleaning expenses surprisingly affordable for such a spacious home.
