I work full time from home so I will be home, along with my dog, Bailey (he is non-shedding and hypo-allergenic). Must love dogs and not be annoyed by any sounds of play or activity in house. I am very respectful of my guests and we are very quiet but you will hear us walking around upstairs. I am always in bed by around 9 p.m. and up around 6 a.m. NO OTHER PETS ALLOWED. NO EXCEPTIONS.
No smoking. No shoes worn in lower-level.

Robyn’s place was super clean and comfortable. My 19 year old daughter stayed at Robyn’s place during the Iowa State Fair. As a mom I was nervous about her staying a couple hours from home for 10 days. I was also worried about her going to and from the fair. Robyn watched over her like she would her own daughter or granddaughter, and for that I am extremely thankful. Location is perfect no matter what you would be in town for. Very quiet neighborhood. Easy to find as well. Robyn takes pride in her place and it shows. It was literally spotless.
*Location is great and convenient to everything *Condition of the property is excellent *The living space is intelligently designed and beautifully decorated *Everything one needs is within a few steps: W/D, microwave, food prep work surface, refrigerator, bed, bathroom *No sound disturbance comes from upstairs *Access is private and secure *Carport is a great luxury *Outdoor sitting area is wonderful, relaxing and just a few steps away *Robyn, the host, was helpful in every way imaginable When it's time for me to return to Des Moines I will try to reserve this VRBO well ahead of time. Loved it!!
The property was exceptionally cozy. Robyn was very professional and was extremely accommodating.
The stay was pleasant, host was great, available, if required. No issues, everything went very smoothly.
The host is excellent; Attentive and responsive. This is my second time staying here, I plan to stay here again when I come to yown
Straight forward and clear communications made it very positive stay and visit.
Cozy and comfortable, in convenient location. So much nicer than a hotel room at a better price! Robyn is a great host, too.
I cannot say enough how great the stay was at this property! It was very homely and comfortable. It did not feel stuffy like staying in a hotel - but rather it was cozy and quaint. The property manager was very friendly and flexible and overall the property was well-kept. A very enjoyable stay!
Robyn the host was responsive to requests and concerns. This was a perfect place for me to stay for a week; safe neighborhood, off street parking, inviting area to sleep, well maintained and clean. I arrived after midnight: Robyn made sure the lights were on, had the electric fireplace on for additional warmth and instruction on how to operate. This place has s microwave, coffee/tea thing, room fridge with freezer. There is a separate entrance, there are several steps to get to get to your room… nice arrangement; bedroom with small dresser, cube storage, bathroom with shower, sink, toilet very pretty , third room has a place to hang clothes, a counter area to prepare microwave food and coffee or tea, also washer and dryer which I did not use. I enjoyed my time there
Robyn is an exemplary host who is always friendly and accessible should you need her. Her communication is excellent. Her dog Bailey is a charmer and will wiggle his way into your heart. The space is quiet and comfortable with nice southwestern U.S. touches that make you feel as if you’re not in western Des Moines, but a Taos casita. The southwestern ambiance is furthered by a supplemental heat generating electric fireplace that emits warmth and coziness… a definite welcome on chilly Iowa evenings. The private bath is well appointed, too. Should you be staying longer term… the space offers shared laundry facilities off the bedroom and small fridge and microwave for private use. A single car carport off the driveway means no worries about street parking. Thank you Robyn for your warm hospitality and a pleasant stay.
