Stayed Jul 11, 2025We stayed in the carriage house for 3 nights while in town for a baseball tournament. For our family this property was cheaper than getting an extended stay hotel w kitchenette. The only drawback was no laundry but it was so nice to have a quiet night of sleep as opposed to staying a team hotel w kids running up and down constantly. My favorite part of the house is the living room area which feels as though you are in a tree house. Full of windows with treetops and visiting birds. This would probably not be a good choice for crawling babies as there is some chippy old paint, heat registers, and a steep staircase. Mattresses are VERY firm so if you prefer a soft bed you may not sleep well here. Very quick and easy access to 235.

Stayed May 2, 2025The carriage house was a pleasant place to stay for three of us. We especially enjoyed the row of windows all along the back of the house looking out over a beautiful woodland hill -- like being in a tree house. One note -- the wifi is not great.

Stayed Aug 8, 2024This is a very spacious and beautiful apartment. We loved the architecture and mature trees surrounding one side. It was a bonus the kids learned to play pool! I enjoyed hearing the church bells chime regularly through the day.This neighborhood is home for me, so it was delightful to walk to familiar places like Greenwood Park, which has the DSM Art Center, pond, playground, splashpad, swimming pool and wooded bike trails. The hosts are delightful and helpful.

Stayed Jun 19, 2024The property was perfect for what we needed. We were in town for an athletic tournament and the kitchen allowed us to cook for our group. All of the basic cooking utensils and pots/pans were available. The host was responsive to requests and incredibly friendly. Would definitely recommend
