You’re just: • 6 minutes to Val Air Ballroom • 8 minutes to Drake University • 10 minutes to Downtown Des Moines and Valley Junction • 15 minutes to the Iowa State Fairgrounds Your whole group will be comfy in this getaway - with spaces to gather or find solitude. Enjoy socializing in the vaulted family room on the back of the house, or, enjoy solitude in the front of the home on the front porch, or in the “music area” where you can play records, play the piano, or read in a quiet atmosphere all by yourself. This home sleeps up to 8 people - The main level offers a primary suite with a king bed and closet. There are two more beds on the main level - both queen size. Closets in the bedrooms offer plenty of bedding and towels, hanging space, and shelves to unpack your gear. There’s a ¾ bath on the main level and a half bath for additional convenience.

Not to mention the deck off the family room with plenty of seating for your group. Sit out under the stars after dark and simply relax. You’ve stepped back in time in this neighborhood - this home is a hidden gem where neighbors wave and gather on porches to drink coffee in the morning or wine in the evening, where kids still run play outside with one another, and chase lightning bugs. This beautiful home is ideal for anyone from couples to a group of 8 to enjoy time together, and especially for people who want to feel at home while they are away from home. This neighborhood is a quiet escape in the middle of the city: to preserve the quiet neighborhood feel, city rules prevent use of this property for any events or parties.
