Very clean nice home with all needed amenities. There were three of us there for three nights. Comfortable and nicely appointed. Met our needs perfectly. And nice to have a garage to use--keep the car a bit warmer and didn't need to scrap off the snow.

This property was very well kept. While being a small house it's still offered plenty of sleeping room tw0 living areas to take advantage of and a kitchen with everything you might need. The host communicated throughout our stay to make sure everything was OK. I will stay again!

I like having a drip coffee maker! I bring my own coffee, and I don’t like the Kerig type that people are going to.
The place was clean and neat.

A three bedroom, two bath, cozy cottage in a fine neighborhood in the middle of the Des Moines metro. Has everything. A rate it a 5 star accommodation, and the owner deserves 6 stars.

We had the pleasure of staying at this property in July, and it was perfect! There were 5 adults and 1 infant. With 2 bedrooms and a bath on the main level and a separate bedroom, bath, and living room downstairs it was the perfect fit for us. The house is located in a very quiet residential area and close to just about everything.
The host was great, and the communication was so prompt and thorough. Very convenient, we would totally stay here again.
