We overall loved our stay - so clean, comfortable, and very nicely decorated- the grill was very corroded so we sadly didn’t use. The upstairs shower drains pretty slow. Loved having the ability to wash clothes but the dryer door would not stay closed!! That being said, we would stay here again and really appreciated your communication with us and allowing us to enter early!

This old house lacks curb appeal, but it is great on the inside and in the backyard. Great location near Lua Brewing and other breweries and restaurants that we visited during our one night stay in Des Moines. It was the perfect house to end our National Parks road trip to the west. The house was very nice and met the needs or our party (4 adults, 3 children). I highly recommend and would stay here again.

We has a great experience here. The kids enjoyed the hot tub and the firepit was a great space for the adults to hang out. One of the kids left a pair of shorts behind and the host was so helpful and shipped them back to us. So awesome of them to go above and beyond.

We stayed here for the goodguys carshow at the fairgrounds. Ample parking for our 3 cars on the driveway. Hot tub and outdoor area was great. Kitchen was large enough to accomodate our group. Bathrooms/bedrooms clean. Decorated cute too! Great place!

We had a group staying at the Cow Tipper for my friend's bachelorette party. We had a great time and the rental home was perfect for our group. Owners were great and easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay again!

The home was nice and comfortable. We were there for a race weekend at Iowa speedway so we spent very little time at the house. Basically just slept and showered there. The beds were comfortable and the showers were nice, good water pressure.
