The property and location worked perfectly for us and provided a fun place for our family to gather at. The different rooms to hang out in was a huge plus for being able to do different activities together and separately. The communication with Jana was fabulous!

Although I was busy my family really got to enjoy the property. The kids loved the theater area and learned to play chess. My husband enjoy to poker room and bar. All in all, the home was a great fit for our large family and the historical artifacts were nice to look at.

The house lends itself really well to a group needing flexible space! I brought a group of High School Speech and Debate competitors to town for their National Competition and there were eight of us total. With minimal moving things about, we all had our own beds and plenty of room. Game room off the kitchen was great for us!

Some of the items in the home were helpful to have. A little more clutter than we care for, though. Overall a positive stay.

This home is very old. It is full of antiques and smells as such. We did have nice enough weather that we were able to open windows to air it out. There were enough beds for the 10 of us. The upstairs shower leaked through the ceiling into the bedroom below. When I contacted the host, they said there should have been a note on how to avoid that? Bathrooms had mold on the curtain and ceiling. Location was great and parking was awesome. Not a bad home, but wouldn’t choose it again.

The house was nice. We enjoyed the artwork and old musical instrument display. Owner addressed a couple issues right away and we were set. Some empty cupboards for our food and supplies would have been nice but we managed. We like to cook and stay in to eat so there was plenty of pots, pans, and other dishes. The traffic noise was a bit much but we got used to it. Thank you!

We enjoyed our stay in Des Moines. It was nice having a big kitchen and being able to do laundry. We also enjoyed the game room. The property manager is nice and helpful. The location is good; a short drive to downtown, parks and Drake University. The only negative for me is the house is located on a busy four lane street. You can hear the vehicles passing by when you are inside the house, which is not a big deal during the day, but at night makes it difficult to go to sleep. Another option for us would have been staying at a hotel, which would have most likely been noisy too, so the house is better than a hotel. Sleep tip: if sleeping in the master bedroom, keep the bathroom door closed to help with the street noise.

All in all it worked well for our family. However it shouldn’t be advertised as sleeping 20. You may want to reconsider that.

Owners came through with honors vis a vie the TV! We're old guys that came to see games live at the arena and watch tons of games on TV. Owner came at night with two technicians to resolve difficulties getting game broadcasts. NEVER HAD A RESPONSE AS GOOD from owners of other VRBO stays.

This property is a great place for a group. The hosts are incredibly nice and allowed us to go in a few days later to grab some items we left. Their decor is also very fun and there's lots of spaces to play games.

Our group of 7 senior ladies spent 3 days here. It is in an excellent location close to interstate access, getting around Des Moines was so very easy. The property was very clean and the one small problem we had, to owner was right there immediately. This is our 2nd time using VRBO and very pleased other years we used different service, not so great mice, bees (inside) I cannot say enough good things for this property.

Older home with character. Worked well for our families. It was very hot weather but the house was cool and comfortable. The hide a bed was not comfortable. The other beds were good. Plenty of towels supplied for showers. Grandchildren suggested it was a good home to play the game clue at, It had the right feel.

We very much enjoyed our 3 day stay. It was a great location as it was central for family coming from several locations. It's proximity to the zoo, science center, and a public pool for day trips was especially nice. Owner was very responsive to contact!
