"Overall, this was a great place to stay. I do wish there was a better supply of toilet paper and paper towels but other than that, I felt right at home, the owners were responsive, and check in and check out were seamless! Cozy spaces outdoors in the front and back. Thank you for hosting us, we really enjoyed our time"

"Comminication was great! We had a couple little hiccups along the way, but she resolved everything quickly. I also made a couple little suggestions on small amenities that we felt would have made our stay even better. She seemed very open to our suggestions, and vowed to include them in the future. It was a very central location to our event, and I loved how easy it was to get in and out of the place, and to other places in the Des Moines area. We already plan on booking it for our stay...
