    This is an adorable little home close to the Beaverdale area of Des Moines. Not far from the university and perfect for our trip, which took us to the downtown farmers market, Jordan Creek shopping center, restaurants throughout the city and even a trip to the outlet mall. The location was perfect. The four bedrooms were wonderful and the idea of having three full baths made the trip enjoyable with teenage girls.It was a great use of space in a small home.We will be checking availability next time we travel back to the Des Moines area.

    This house was absolutely perfect for our stay in Des Moines! We were there for a family gathering of relatives from across the US and we needed a space centrally located with room for one parent, two grown kids, and a small dog. The house, yard, and parking space was more than adequate with four bedrooms, all beautifully appointed. The kitchen and dining area was great, and the living room was spacious and welcoming.

    Beds comfortable, central location, lots of dishes and cooking equipment. Many nice extras: snacks for hungry young adults after long drive not wanting to go shopping after long drive. Coffee provided. Internet could have been better.

    Perfect size for our stay. Showing sheep at state fair and nice having four bedrooms for everyone and three bathrooms. Snacks that were available were perfect for everyone after a very long day traveling and at the fair. Great washing machine and dryer for doing laundry. Deer greeted us one morning and one evening. Really enjoyed our stay!!

    I booked based upon the stellar reviews but honestly was thinking, “It can’t be that great”. I’m the first to admit I was wrong. This place is absolutely perfect for a stay away from home. Great neighborhood, great house, easy access to interstate, and the snacks Miriam left just made it feel like she cares. Will stay here again without a doubt
