Cozy 3-bedroom Beaverdale Brick

10/10 Excellent

"Very cozy place to stay for two weeks, location is close to everything. Lisa was very helpful. We saw deer in the neighbor's front yard. Would stay again."

SO MUCH FUN! ARCADE, PL TBL, PNG PNG, YARD GAMES, INDOOR AND OUTDOOR POOLS!!

8/10 Good

"Such a wonderful experience with all of the extras included. We had kitchenware for cooking, extra linens and toiletries. the beds were very comfortable and a lot of space. Great stay!"

2-bedroom vacation home just 3 minutes drive to Drake University

10/10 Excellent

"This was an excellent vacation stay. My husband and I just loved the accommodations. So clean, everything we needed, beautifully decorated. The location was perfect for our bike ride and for meeting friends. There is no doubt that we will use this VRBO anytime we are in the Des Moines area. Definitely recommend."

Charming house - minutes from downtown, walking distance to Ingersoll!

10/10 Excellent

"The house is a very cute and cozy!! It was perfect for our family getaway!!"

Bright and Spacious Historic Kingman Blvd 3Bdr #1

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, spacious house. Worked great for our State Fair housing need."

Forest Ave Historic Rutledge home 8 beds close to everything in the metro.

10/10 Excellent

"We were happy with this house. Lots of room for our family. The beds were all very comfortable, had lots of pillows and blankets. One room did not have a window unit but we brought a fan with us that we use at night and that seemed to work just fine for the room. Having all the toys, books and games was such a happy surprise for my kids. They spent hours playing with everything, and it was nice to have that and not worry that we didn’t bring enough things to keep them entertained. I will say one of the other room did have a very strong cat urine odor. I am not sure where it was coming from, but it was only that room. The kitchen was well stocked with all the basic tools needed for cooking meals. Having a large dinning area was very nice to eat at.The living room was very comfortable.It was nice to be closely located to everything we wanted to go to and also close to many grocery stores. We would definitely stay there again."

The CORN CRIB: Spa - Game Room - BBQ - Office - DOWNTOWN - Sleeps 14

10/10 Excellent

"House was immaculate, beds were comfortable, hosts had thought of everything to make guests time enjoyable, posting pertinent info throughout the house, allowing us to check in early. The house has been updated to optimize space, and decorated really well. There was plenty of space for my teen kids, a few of their friends, and I during a two night stay while attending the IA State Fair. My kids had a blast playing just dance on the 3rd floor game room and using the hot tub nightly. The nightly price may have been increased due to demand during the IA state fair, but it seemed a little high for the age of the home and neighborhood. Aside from that, which is expected based on standard business principles, we had a 5 star stay."

Family-Friendly Des Moines Retreat w/ Patio!

10/10 Excellent

"This lovely, charming home was perfect for the 7 nights my daughter and I stayed. Close to downtown where my daughter was competing and easy to get to. Very responsive host. (Would have loved to sit on the cute porch or patio;however, the heat and humidity was a bit much for me). Air conditioning inside was a lifesaver! Comfortable beds, nice kitchen so prepare meals in, and a cozy living room to relax in the evenings. Appreciated having access to all the same TV streaming services I watch at home. Plenty of room with extra beds in the loft upstairs for the whole family to stay if schedules would have allowed them to come with. Would definitely stay again!"
