Perfect location for us. High Trestle Trail and the Uptown neighborhood right outside our door. Bikes, bites, beer. And a float down the Des Moines River to cap it off. Great summer getaway.

We had a lot of fun for our family of 6. The beds were awesome, very comfortable for a good nights sleep. The hot tub was great in the evenings. We did spend a little time figuring out the light switches. We loved the wide open area with the table and the living room area, made it nice for playing board games and having the tv on to watch so we were all together. We could have used another couch or more seating by the tv to watch movies together. It was a very nice neighborhood and the directions were very clear as to how to enter the house and the hot tub house. Great hosts!!!!

We had a great stay at this lovely property located mere steps from the high trestle trail! The owner Natalie was great to work with and very responsive to our questions.The house was clean with very nice furnishings, and a well stocked kitchen. Bedrooms were very comfortable, and we spent lots of time on the deck, and the big hot tub was great after a chilly rainy day of bikingThe AMP park was right next door with a summer weekly Thursday night band, food trucks, a little train for the kiddos, and on Saturday a farmers market. Uptown was minutes away on foot with restaurants and some boutique shopping too. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Overall, the place is in a great location; Uptown Ankeny has a lot of nice little shops, cafes, breweries, and a lot of activities at the nearby "AMP". Ankeny itself is in a good position between Des Moines and Ames, so traveling to both is pretty easy to navigate. Another good point is that the hot tub is positively massive and well maintained. The place, however, needs a little bit of a love. When we checked in, we noticed a couple of lightbulbs out. However, by the end of the first day, we needed to wash dishes as the dishes there were in a bit of a need-to-be-cleaned condition. The dishwasher was broken, we learned, and during our stay was replaced with a brand new one. The owner was very communicative but it didn't change the fact that the dishwasher clearly had been broken a while. In addition, one of the stove knobs was broken and the dryer only worked on a "high" cycle due to pending maintenance issues. The part we regret the most is that there isn't a lot of comfortable lounging places in the house. There's not a good chair to just sit in and read a book, and the beds and couches all were a bit uncomfortable. It made our getaway a bit more difficult to do leisure activities with. Overall, it's a nice place in a great location that needs a little attention to bring it up to a great value for the trip. However, for any issues, the owner is right to it with text messages, so things get fixed and handled quickly.

The accommodations were great, just what we needed for our stay. Natalie and Aaron let us check in early which was a blessing and we had everything we needed for the duration of our stay.

My 3 friends and our daughters really enjoyed our stay here! We did a lot of shopping at the outlet mall and indoor mall and came back in the evenings to enjoy time together hanging out in the hot tub and watching movies. Natalie was wonderfully responsive and helpful. Thanks so much for contributing to our fantastic weekend!

Overall, the property was well-kept and served us well for our weekend trip. However, there were some hiccups in communication with the property manager and appropriate bedding for all guests. When we arrived at the property for check-in, the code that was provided to us did not work. We reached out to the property manager multiple times using the phone number they gave with no response. Ultimately, we reached out the Vrbo directly and they were able to provide the phone number of the co-owner of the property who was able to give us the correct code to unlock the door. Once inside, we realized that the two futons on the main level did not have any bedding. We had to reach out to the co-owner again who was finally able to get a hold of the property manager to tell us how to unlock the linen closet. We were able to find sheets for the futons, but no extra pillows or blankets so we had to share from the beds upstairs. While a slightly inconvenient start, the property is in a great location and all guests still thoroughly enjoyed the trip.
