    This was a great place to stay - we had family in from out of town and just needed a place for them to sleep...the set up was fantastic with plenty of room to spread out. Location was great. The host responded very quickly to communication and the keyless entry system made check in and out super easy.

    Nice place to stay for the weekend. House was clean and had everything we needed. 15-20 minute drive to downtown. Could improve the couch and dining room chairs for comfort, along with a few minor maintenance items (blinds, microwave handle…).

    We attended a concert in Waukee and hung out at the house both inside and outside. Lots of bedrooms and sleeping accommodations, nice to have a garage to use for extra parking, back deck is nice to have as well. Good area with many places to eat in the area that are a quick drive away.

    House is laid on very well, with plenty of beds, and the kitchen, dining, and living areas easily accommodated our 11 people. Nice sized and fenced back yard for our two medium sized dogs. Everyone really enjoyed the property and lots to do within easy driving distance.

    Wonderful property. Perfect for our family. Interstate noise on master bedroom side but only bothered me, not my spouse! Didn’t use deck area but it looked nice. Host was very responsive. Unit could have had more dish towels and a broom but those are minor.

    Check in was a breeze and the space was great for our group of 5. All amenities were fantastic, the only thing that would be helpful was a few more pots/pans or mixing bowls in the kitchen. Outside of that we had everything we needed and quick access to shopping and restaurants nearby. Would definitely stay again!

    If it wasn’t for a few things they would’ve had five stars. The garbage disposal was broken (made that nasty). There were only four chairs and there were eight of us (that was a bummer). The blinds in the front of the house are all broken and makes you feel like you are walking into a house like that. Once you are in the house it was clean and the manager was responsive, but it was during the holidays so not easy to get things fixed. The furniture could be better.

    Did not like the VRBO message system. It would only let me in if I was connected to wi fi. The home needed more kitchen accessories, large mixing bowl, dish towels and wash clothes, and a few more fry pans.

    Property was clean and nicely decorated. There could be a few extra touches but overall really nice. Big issue was the bathrooms were listed at 3 bathrooms when it was actually 2.5. This made it difficult for 8 adults to schedule shower time.

    We stayed at this property to help our adult child with a cross-country move to start medical school in the DSM area. The house is in a convenient location near tons of retail and restaurants. We also brought our dog and he loved the backyard and nice neighborhood to walk in. The owner was super communicative and accommodating in allowing us to have some packages shipped directly to the property. When a smoke detector had a bad battery, the owner took care of it in less than half a day. Great house and great host!
