Gästerna lyfter fram barnvänliga detaljer, sällskapsytor och ett välfyllt kök och matplats som fungerar bra för stora grupper. Resenärer rapporterar närliggande mataffärer och restauranger samt smidiga in- och utcheckningar. Ett fåtal recensioner nämner utmaningar med utomhussteg och enstaka problem som myror eller ojämn uppvärmning, men dessa var inte vanliga. Du kan förvänta dig en avslappnad och gruppvänlig vistelse.

This was the perfect stay for family traveling in from around the US. Easy location for multiple airport trips, space for everyone to eat together, and large comfortable bedrooms. The play space for the 3 year old was more than perfect, with toys and books! We would stay here again. Thank you!

Loved our stay! The house was perfect and felt like a hotel in terms of attention to detail - everything was new, super clean and tastefully decorated - the house had spacious bedrooms, comfortable beds, new bedding and towels, updated kitchen and baths (tile, appliances, fixtures), new washer/dryer, large kitchen table and breakfast bar for dining, a great room for gathering with lots of seating options, fireplace nook for a more intimate space, separate game/TV room, big front porch and patio. The newly refinished hardwood floors were beautiful - just a lovely property with charm and character. Our host was very responsive and easy to communicate with. It was everything we wanted for our stay and would highly recommend this property.

Shared this house with my extended family for Thanksgiving - six adults and six kids of all ages. House was spacious enough to spread out in. Decent kitchen and large dining room met our needs. House is older - a lot of interesting nooks and rooms, but heating was inconsistent. Owner noted that heating vents may have been closed to cause that issue. Piano, TVs, air hockey, board games, kids toys were all a hit. Neighborhood is older and fairly quiet, close to Drake University. It met our needs very well.

We really enjoyed the weekend that we spent at your property. The house has been remodeled very nicely with all the amenities. It was stocked very well with dishes in the kitchen and towels, and sundries for bathrooms and the outside. The house was very clean, and the outside porch was very usable, and had plenty of seating. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were clean and large.

We had a great stay at this property! It has a great location near Drake with grocery stores and restaurants nearby - some within walking distance. We had a family gathering for the fair (a <15 min drive or <5 min to fair shuttle) and it was great for the kids. We enjoyed having the extra space for family get together. Dinners were easy with the kitchen and large dining table. Highly recommended this place for groups given the size and location!

This is an older home but has been decorated and kept well. The littles loved the bunk beds, game room and many kid friendly extras!! Everyone slept well on comfortable beds and the house was very clean! We loved the amount of space we had and especially loved the large table that allowed us all to sit around it and visit! Our hosts were easy to communicate with and very friendly, I would suggest using the WiFi to communicate from the house if needed as I couldn't count on Verizon from there. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, would recommend it and stay there again!

We stayed here during our annual trip to the Iowa State Fair and Adventureland. We had 5 couples and 2 children. We had plenty of space for all of us, including bedrooms. There were even toys for the kids! We had plenty of seating at meal time and found everything we needed in the kitchen for meal preparation. The beds were so, so, so comfortable! We would definitely stay here again!

This home had everything we needed and more. New stylish bathrooms with great hot water and good pressure. The beds were super comfortable with very nice quality bedding. The sofas and chairs were great for both sitting and napping!! The kitchen was well stocked, washer and dryer, fridge and dishwasher were all high quality. Our family of 7 ranged from age 11-70 and all of us loved the home. It was perfect for active entertainment for the children, and had charming quiet corners for adults to work or read. The porch was delightful for evening chats and games. The owner responding within hours to one request we had and he was entirely pleasant to deal with. This charming old home was refurbished with attention to detail.

We came to Des Moines for state wrestling. The house is big, was very clean and accommodating. I had one question about the internet while we were there and the owner was very responsive. Check in and out were very easy. They have games, exercise equipment and plenty of room for everyone to spread out. We would definitely stay there again!

The place was nice it was clean. The only problem I had was listing said there were two queens in the living space and there was not. There was just two sofas that did not pull out. So I was short beds, and one of our families had to go to a hotel. Bunkhouse occupied the kids, but as for my single adults that I thought I was getting separate beds for that became a problem. By the family leaving and going to the hotel that freed up the bunkhouse for my single adults.

We were able to sleep 11 people comfortably and never had to worry about being in each others way in this sizable, remodeled, beautiful house! Ryan has done an amazing job setting up the house to accommodate large groups. We slept 11 comfortably and had 15 over for meals regularly. Everything was provided and we were able to find exactly what we needed. As well, the remodeled bathrooms are beautiful. We had a terrific time and hope to be back. My 95 year old mother enjoyed having her bedroom and bathroom on the first floor very close to all of the action! We set up a small artificial tree in the living room and had a great holiday! Thank you Ryan! It was perfect!

Our family loved the thoughtful and fun amenities provided in this large home. The small Christmas tree was especially thoughtful since we were gathering for the holidays! The host had good communication as well when we had questions. One note - the outside stairs and railings leading into the house are run down and not up to code. The risers are different heights, and the treads are uneven (especially the cement stairs). It was particularly hard to see the cement stairs down to the driveway at night (maybe host could add some solar powered lights?). Our family has some older folks and one family member with visual impairment, so the different height risers was hard. Host offered for us to walk up from the neighbor's driveway, but it was a bit too steep and too far for my older parents. (We appreciated the offer though!) We'd love to stay again for another holiday gathering, especially if the outside stairs are brought up to code.

This is a beautiful home that is located just minutes from downtown and super easy to access in a busy city. We loved the space the home had to offer along with the location. There are some good watering holes and restaurants just a few blocks from the house. My family and friends stayed here while we attended the state wrestling tournament at Wells Fargo. We didn't know exactly how many people we were going to have stay at the house but the hosts were very understanding of that and were willing to work with us on pricing. All the adults had their own bedroom's and the kiddos enjoyed the bunk beds they got to share. The host Ryan was very transparent and a joy to work with. I highly recommend this listing if you are planning a trip to Des Moines with a large family or many friends.

We had a large group stay in this wonderful home recently for a conference held at the convention center. It was a cozy and welcoming home and it functioned perfectly for all who stayed here. Communication was clear and check-in / check-out was easy. Definitely recommend this home.

We stayed for a family wedding and the house was very accommodating for 10 people. Anywhere you want to go in Des Moines is only 15 minutes from this location!

This was the perfect stay for family traveling in from around the US. Easy location for multiple airport trips, space for everyone to eat together, and large comfortable bedrooms. The play space for the 3 year old was more than perfect, with toys and books! We would stay here again. Thank you!

The home is beautiful. Ryan was an awesome host, great communicator. Location is close to everything you need or would want to do. There were 12 of us and all loved that there was enough room to spread out and also be together when we wanted that.

Shared this house with my extended family for Thanksgiving - six adults and six kids of all ages. House was spacious enough to spread out in. Decent kitchen and large dining room met our needs. House is older - a lot of interesting nooks and rooms, but heating was inconsistent. Owner noted that heating vents may have been closed to cause that issue. Piano, TVs, air hockey, board games, kids toys were all a hit. Neighborhood is older and fairly quiet, close to Drake University. It met our needs very well.

While the house is much closer to the Drake University Campus (just down the street), it was the closest for our larger group to stay two nights while we attended my son's Iowa State graduation in Ames. The 35-40 minute drive really didn't seem like a hassle at all, especially when hotel rooms were going for 3x normal rates in Ames! The property was perfect for our needs and if ever we have a need to have a large group in the Des Moines / Ames area again this house would be at the top of the list, assuming it's available! The owners have done a great job thinking through many of the little details that make staying away from home so much easier: Well Stocked Coffee Bar, Large Towels in all Bedrooms ( Washcloths and Hand Towels in the Bathrooms), Extra Hangars in the Bedroom Closets, Numerous Games for kids from 2 to 18 (and Older!), Large Ceiling fans in many Bedrooms, Hair Dryers, Full-size Shampoo, Conditioner, and Body Wash Products in the Showers, A nice Grill and Outdoor Eating Area, Plus so much more Thanks again for making our visit wo worry-free!

We had a great stay at this property! It has a great location near Drake with grocery stores and restaurants nearby - some within walking distance. We had a family gathering for the fair (a <15 min drive or <5 min to fair shuttle) and it was great for the kids. We enjoyed having the extra space for family get together. Dinners were easy with the kitchen and large dining table. Highly recommended this place for groups given the size and location!

Köket är välutrustat för matlagning och måltider för grupper, med gott om sittplatser vid ett stort matbord och en frukostbar. En gäst noterade ett mindre brist på köksredskap, men överlag var måltidsförberedelserna enkla.

Loved our stay! The house was perfect and felt like a hotel in terms of attention to detail - everything was new, super clean and tastefully decorated - the house had spacious bedrooms, comfortable beds, new bedding and towels, updated kitchen and baths (tile, appliances, fixtures), new washer/dryer, large kitchen table and breakfast bar for dining, a great room for gathering with lots of seating options, fireplace nook for a more intimate space, separate game/TV room, big front porch and patio. The newly refinished hardwood floors were beautiful - just a lovely property with charm and character. Our host was very responsive and easy to communicate with. It was everything we wanted for our stay and would highly recommend this property.

We really enjoyed the weekend that we spent at your property. The house has been remodeled very nicely with all the amenities. It was stocked very well with dishes in the kitchen and towels, and sundries for bathrooms and the outside. The house was very clean, and the outside porch was very usable, and had plenty of seating. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were clean and large.

We had such a great weekend and this was an amazing place to stay. Can’t tell you enough how comfortable the beds and the whole house was. Only thing missing was a pizza cutter but they had plenty of knifes that did the job. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a great place to stay.

We were able to sleep 11 people comfortably and never had to worry about being in each others way in this sizable, remodeled, beautiful house! Ryan has done an amazing job setting up the house to accommodate large groups. We slept 11 comfortably and had 15 over for meals regularly. Everything was provided and we were able to find exactly what we needed. As well, the remodeled bathrooms are beautiful. We had a terrific time and hope to be back. My 95 year old mother enjoyed having her bedroom and bathroom on the first floor very close to all of the action! We set up a small artificial tree in the living room and had a great holiday! Thank you Ryan! It was perfect!

We stayed here during our annual trip to the Iowa State Fair and Adventureland. We had 5 couples and 2 children. We had plenty of space for all of us, including bedrooms. There were even toys for the kids! We had plenty of seating at meal time and found everything we needed in the kitchen for meal preparation. The beds were so, so, so comfortable! We would definitely stay here again!

This home had everything we needed and more. New stylish bathrooms with great hot water and good pressure. The beds were super comfortable with very nice quality bedding. The sofas and chairs were great for both sitting and napping!! The kitchen was well stocked, washer and dryer, fridge and dishwasher were all high quality. Our family of 7 ranged from age 11-70 and all of us loved the home. It was perfect for active entertainment for the children, and had charming quiet corners for adults to work or read. The porch was delightful for evening chats and games. The owner responding within hours to one request we had and he was entirely pleasant to deal with. This charming old home was refurbished with attention to detail.

We had a group with 7 kids and 4 adults and this space was perfect. There was enough space for eating, sleeping, showering, and playing! I would highly recommend staying here. The property description said one of the bedrooms had 2 queen beds which was inaccurate. We wish there was more yard to enjoy but we utilized the front porch and front patio area for outdoor grilling and picnicking.
