Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Malissa S. 24 Sept 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Eclectic mid-century modern house with lots of space We appreciated the space for our group of friends to chat and catch up after not seeing each other for years. We had just enough bedrooms for everyone to have their own and ample space to stretch out and make the house our home away from home for a weekend. The house did have a musty smell, but that didn't stop us from having a nice time. ##### Malissa S. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christy B. 21 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great, central location and super unique property! We recently stayed at this property for our boys' basketball tournament. This house was central to several gym locations in the greater Des Moines area and worked great for three moms and three teenage sons. The boys enjoyed the pool table and even took the kayak for a spin on the little lake which is right in the backyard! Property manager was super quick to respond to any questions (which I didn't have many of, but they were quick on the one I did!) and we will definitely look to rent again when our teams are back in Des Moines. ##### Christy B.
