The kitchen has all of the basics for a quick stay or a long-term stay! Coffee (both decaf and regular) and tea are provided with cream and sugar to start your days off right! We include things others may overlook like a toaster, crockpot, lots of cooking utensils, a tea kettle, hand mixer, seasonings, a blender, and so much more!

We would love for you to stay with us at the Cactus House. Please reach out with any questions you may have and we are happy to answer. Des Moines is a great city and we have a lot of food suggestions!

You have complete access to the entire home, garage, and backyard. The backyard space is the length of two lots and is all part of the house.

The driveway is quite long and could accommodate multiple vehicles. You may also park on the street in front of the property, but please follow all city parking rules.

Both the front and back doors have smart keypads on them for which codes will be provided.
