    This house was huge! Our family met at this location to stay for the weekend, and we had plenty of room. It is in a prime spot, close to shopping, groceries, etc. We even took a walk in the neighborhood for some exercise, and it was so peaceful!

    The location of this property was great for anyone wanting to go to Prairie Meadows, the outlet mall, Adventure Land and lots of eating choice. Very clean and the communication with the host was excellent. We loved the house!

    Nice property, Jessica the contact person was very responsive when we called about extra towels. I would think the host would see the number of guest and plan accordingly with towels and supplies, as we could have used a few more garbage bags, toilet paper and dishwasher soap. We did have a couple sleep in the basement and it was pretty cold as the upstairs was very warm. Maybe a space heater although I know those are not the safest things to have around.

    This was a great place to stay with plenty of comfortable space to relax for our entire group. Being able to use the garage was a nice perk.

    Great place to stay. Owner and Jessica (Evolve) were prompt and courteous in resolving a minor issue when we arrived. There is parking for 4 vehicles off street and location was perfect for our needs in Altoona and Des Moines. It was well kept and had plenty linens and towels for our group of 13. The kitchen was adequately supplied to take care of our culinary needs too.

    We recently stayed here for 3 nights with 7 kids. We found it large enough to really spread out and everyone have their own space. The kids especially enjoyed having a king or queen sized bed (almost) entirely to themselves. We didn't even use the extra bedding areas-office or living/ front room pull out sofa.

    We arrived at 4 pm (check in 3pm) and house was a mess from the previous renters! cleaning crew was short handed and did what they could do to get it ready.. The previous renters left a full pantry of new and used food items along with a full refridgerater! Cleaning person had sent me a text msg that they were running behind but i could not check my phone while i was driving. She did let us in to unload our suitcases and we all went to Dinner when we got back it was much better. Oh and don't think you can park 2 cars in garage unless they are smart cars lots of junk all around garage!!
