Great place!

The house is a great place to stay. It is in a very convenient location for the Des Moines area. I have recommended that a sheet be provided for guests with WiFi information and the location of a couple of items in the house. The owner is extremely responsive, and I would highly recommend the property.

Iowa trip

Our stay at this Vrbo was fantastic! The location is perfect—close to grocery stores and restaurants, making it super convenient. The beds were comfy, and we loved how well-stocked the kitchen was with supplies. The neighborhood was quiet, which made for a relaxing trip. Highly recommend!"

Christmas overflow

We rented this home to accommodate our adult children over Christmas. The home was lovely. We had a bit of a snafu with the keyless lock entry, but got it sorted in the end.

Great location

Cute house in a quiet neighborhood. Everything we wanted to do was within 20 minutes. The zoo, Adventureland, the mall, and some cute local shops. We will be back!

Extra clean and very homey

We stayed here and were very pleased. It was very homey, they even had Halloween decorations up and a bucket of candy. Well stocked with towels, water, ice and many snacks. Very clean and communication was great. They had small loops sewn on the towels which made it super easy to hang a used towel. I wish more places did this, even hotels. Highly recommend. We did not even notice the absence of the TV in the living room until I read about it in the guest book. Did not need it, plenty of games, cards and books to keep us busy.

Nice little place

Nice place with plenty of shampoo and conditioner. Easy location. I like that at Hy-Vee is nearby. The house was well kept. Plenty of kids games. Icemaker didn’t work but they had ice available. Overall a great stay. It was disappointing that the online description says hot tub and spa tub but neither were available. I specifically chose this one because it had hot tub in the description. Other than that, no complaints.
