    Good location for our event and parking was plentiful. Des Moines is a lovely city! This home was spacious, the owner was responsive, and three bathrooms were nice and clean. The kitchen had newer appliances and was nice. It was a very hot weekend, so we were very happy that the home’s AC worked well! However, a couple items in the home were old and in need of repair. The coffee maker was tiny and the house could use a couple more stools in the kitchen. I recommend the house for a big group.

    We stayed here during my daughter‘s college graduation weekend. Was a great home to relax, and and we also had the opportunity to host another family for dinner, which worked out very well with the beautiful patio.

    The property was a perfect fit for our needs. It is within walking distance to Drake. The house is beautifully restored. The back deck was a personal favorite! The owner was incredibly communicative when we had a few small requests. They were responsive and prompt! We made a few small suggestions to make it better and the owner was also receptive to that. We would stay here again! Thank you!

    We had a wonderful stay at this spacious home! The kitchen was well-appointed with everything we needed to cook, and the living room and bedrooms were incredibly comfortable, making it easy to relax. The outdoor living space was lovely—perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or evening glass of wine. Off-street parking was a huge bonus as well. Highly recommend this home for a comfortable and relaxing getaway!”

    This home was beautiful, comfy, and spacious. We were there for only two nights but wish we were there longer to enjoy the patio and hot tub. Allie is amazing, super understanding, quick to respond, and a great host! I would recommend this home to anyone who wants to be i. The middle of it all but in a quiet private neighborhood.
