We had a lovely visit to Des Moines with my son and his fiance. The house was well situated to all the fun breweries and restaurants and parks in the area. The biggest plus were the most comfortable mattresses! I love a firm mattress and these were fantastic.

First this Host Does not communicate ,Not even a Help Tel Number in the House. They changed Check_in Process I think so Guests cannot get in early, you cannot get their app to work until the Hour & day of check_in ,we had to sit on the door step for over 15 mins until dead on 4pm. most of their emails are from Virtual people IE a computer,The House has Hazards like loose air con metal covers in the floors ,a Hand rail to the lower TV room loose and with a long rusty screw sticking out at the bottom, they showed no interest, we have in been treated this way in 40years of travel abroad. On a personal note if you want a good vacation with a good Host then Stay away from High Rocky Homes, we contacted VRBO for help they gave us 2 numbers to call High rocky Homes 1 just rang (No Answer Machine and the other just rang off ,STAY AWAY from this Host they treated us with total dissrespect Roland

We had a fabulous time. Used the hot tub a couple times that was an extra bonus. All the bedrooms were perfect. The bathroom upstairs could use a little fixing... The shower sounds like the floor will fall out it cracks horribly. The sink did not have a drain stopper therefore if you dropped anything it would go right down the drain. When you run the water its very loud can hear it in all the bedrooms. Still we had a wonderful time...

My entire family was impressed with how lovely this property is! Every amenity was provided and every detail was attended to! So very accommodating! This is not a criticism, but a consideration for other groups. Some elderly people might find the many steps to be brutal. A few in our group did. Oh! We especially loved the poster in the main floor living area with the I Love Des Moines, Travelers Insurance sign in place of Love. My grandpa made and erected that sign back in the '60's! My mom and my aunt told me to make sure I told you that! Thanks for everything! We'll be looking for this property when we come again!

We traveled to Des Moines for a weekend with our kids and grandkids. We were a group of 6 adults and 3 kids and two dogs. This property was PERFECT for our needs! Beautiful home, very clean, quiet and well furnished. We made use of both the backyard and front porch space, and we enjoyed having use of the oversized two stall garage for parking. The house is located in a nice neighborhood with easy access to the interstate, downtown Des Moines and Blank Park Zoo. Communication with both the owner and the website was prompt and easy and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again!! We would 100% recommend this rental property. Thank you for allowing us to stay!
