We stayed here to participate in the good guys car show. The property was great and in close proximity to the fair grounds in a quiet neighborhood.

This property was very clean and comfortable for two people but it easily could have fit more. The kitchen came with all amenities to cook and the beds were very comfortable as well. The reading nook was so cute! The property manager was friendly, easy to reach and chat with. Was only there for a few days for the Iowa race, and the proximity to the track was perfect. The area was nice to explore after the race as well. I would definitely stay there again if I found myself in Des Moines again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay at the house. The neighborhood was peaceful, and the house had all the essentials we needed. The hosts were incredibly responsive whenever we required assistance. My 9-year-old son especially adored the cozy corner filled with games and books.

This property was very clean, had all the supplies you needed. The book nook was amazing! Kids loved it! It was a 2BR not a 3BR (unless living room is a bedroom). Would totally recommend and stay again! Amazing place!!! Easy checkout rules and great communication with the owner.

The place was really nice. The reading cubby was a big hit with the kids. The nearby Angry Goldfish was a good dinner and Gray's Lake was a nice after dinner walk.
Only suggestion--a few more hooks to hang towels in the bathroom.

We especially loved that there were bathroom necessities and condiments in this home. Many rentals have had nothing in the cabinets. It was nice, clean, and well located. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Everything we needed in a great location!
We were extremely pleased with our stay. It was just the right amount of space for me, my husband, and our 8 year old daughter. Everything is decorated nicely and very clean. The beds and bedding were so comfortable, just perfect after our long days filled with fun summer activities (concert, shopping, zoo, brewery). It was the perfect location for everything we wanted to do- nothing was more than 15 minutes away. The owners were extremely easy to reach with the few questions we had, and the small details like the toiletries (even an emergency feminine hygiene kit- didn't need, but still appreciate the thoughtfulness) were high quality. We will definitely stay here again next time we visit the DSM area!
