Quaint Home away from Home
We loved this property. The only issues we had were the beds were not as comfortable as we would have liked. The king-size bed mattress was wrapped in some kind of plastic or other material that made it very hot for my husband. It was just very uncomfortable and too hard for our taste. We found the one in the back bedroom the most tolerable. The other issue was there were a lot of flies and little nit like flies in the house. It seemed like they came out of nowhere no matter how many we were able to kill. Otherwise, great location, property and management.

Disappointing Stay with Serious Issues**
While this property has a lot of potential due to its beautiful design and location, our stay was marred by multiple significant issues that cannot be overlooked. 1. **Safety Concerns**: The back door knob was broken, making it impossible to open, which posed a serious fire hazard. It also meant we couldn't access the barbecue grill, which was disappointing. 2. **Severe Kitchen Issues**: The kitchen sink was leaking, and it’s clear this is not a new problem. The area around it was rotted, and towels were stuffed under the sink to absorb the water. This created a terrible odor and was a breeding ground for flies. The smell was unbearable at times. 3. **Fly Infestation**: The fly problem throughout the house was disgusting. We had to purchase fly traps just to manage it, which is not something you should have to deal with while on vacation. 4. **Filthy Living Room Furniture**: The living room couch was in terrible condition. It looked dirty and smelled strongly of old cigarette smoke, which made it uncomfortable to relax in the space. 5. **Persistent Odor**: The entire house had a horrible smell that worsened after a few hours of being in the space. While there were numerous deodorizers placed around the home, they only masked the smell temporarily. By the next day, the odor was unbearable again. 6. **Overall Cleanliness**: While the house is beautiful, it was shockingly dirty. The rugs, baseboards, and corners were g

This house truly is charming. There is so much space yet they’ve made it feel so cozy and comforting. Every room is large, beautifully decorated, and clean. My family was only there for a quick night and we were sad we couldn’t stay longer! The neighborhood is quiet and safe -just what we needed for a place to rest our heads while road tripping.

Excellent property!
We were in town for a dog show at the state fairgrounds. It was a beautiful home! Well-maintained, clean, well stocked kitchen, and comfortable beds. Plenty of space for a group with two bedrooms and a half bath upstairs and everything else on the main floor. There's a grocery store in walking distance. Host was very responsive and provided all the information we needed for a smooth check in. This is definitely a property on my "visit again" list!

Spacious House in a Quiet Area
My family and I stayed here for a family gathering in Des Moines and it was one of the better rental experiences I have had. The house is clean and laid out well, the beds are comfortable with extra pillows, and the neighborhood is really quiet and walkable. There is a grocery store right around the corner so that was convenient as well. The host was very helpful and very accessible, when we needed to see about adding some dates he worked with us and it all went smoothly. Highly recommend this house if you are staying in or around Des Moines.
