The Gathering House — Hot Tub | Arcade Attic | Fenced Yard | Sleeps 10

8/10 Good
"This property was adorable. The neighborhood was walkable and cute. The yard was lacking grass so was very muddy for my pups. However I recognize that the amount of rain in Des Moines this year has been unreal and a shaded yard creates lack of grass. I would stay here again."
