Lovely property with a nice back yard and a great front porch. Beds are comfortable and owners are responsive. Kitchen is well set up with new appliances. We used all four bedrooms and the sofa bed in the game room - all were great. Highly recommended - will hopefully visit again next time we're in Des Moines. ##### Laurinda H.

This house holds a lot of people and there was wonderful space. The house had so much character which was lovely to look at and experience. The area is in the Drake area but in a very nice, safe area that makes you feel comfortable. Owners were nice people. Highly suggest them for your large gathering needs. :) ##### Jodi J.
