A Lovely Place
A three bedroom, two bath, cozy cottage in a fine neighborhood in the middle of the Des Moines metro. Has everything. A rate it a 5 star accommodation, and the owner deserves 6 stars.

Great location, great space for 3 of us
Perfect size for our family group. We each had our own sleeping space and 2 great common rooms to come together. More inexpensive than most hotels in the area, except more homey, quieter, more private and easier to sleep in a quiet residential neighborhood. We would recommend it.

Worked Great
My 3 kids and I stayed for our annual "Adventureland Week". The house worked great for what we needed--we didn't use the basement, but it was set up nicely to give a slightly private living area if staying with more people.

Wedding prep
The property is well designed. The surprise was the delightful sitting area in the basement bedroom area. We were looking for a two bedroom 2 bathroom rental so we would all have space to get ready for a wedding in Madrid on Saturday afternoon. There were great local restaurants nearby and we had a great stay.

Awesome place!!
I was in Iowa for my son’s wedding. Traveling with my son and his family. Ms Jodi was amazing. Check-in was super easy. The house was clean and perfect for what we needed and the neighborhood was quiet and close to everything. The beds were comfortable and there were even toys for my granddaughter to play with. I’ll definitely use her again on my next visit. Highly recommend this sweet house.

Met all expectations!!!
This was a great location and peaceful neighborhood! We had every thing we needed for our 5 day stay. Landowner was very nice and had we needed anything I have no doubt she would have taken care of it. Beds were super comfy, so much so we need to figure out what brand so we can purchase one! I give this listing a 10/10!

Great place for the money
This is a cute little house that has been renovated very nicely. Everything worked out well for our group. Things could have been cleaner in the basement as it appeared that the floors had not been vacuumed and sheets not changed. The main floor was great though!

Impressive little house
Jodi did amazing job communicating with us. Even included a snow shower to add to the memories. House was clean and very easy to find utensils to cook our dinner. Only two possible improvements are requested for next time: add a stool or bench in the downstairs shower and maybe some additional throw pillows for the upstairs couch
