House holiday rentals in Altoona

I stay in a lot of airbnbs every year and I’d have to rank this as one of the best. Everything is clean, modern, and updated. Furniture is high quality. The beds are amazing. The neighborhood is also quiet and peaceful. I wish I lived at this Airbnb, my entire crew and myself loved it.

Great place to stay . Very roomy lots of couches outside space was great. Comfortable beds the kitchen was great. They had everything you’d need. Totally recommend this place.

Great location...close to food, shopping and the RecPlex. Townhouse was immaculate and exactly like the pictures. Quiet neighborhood. I would definitely stay again.

Thank you for the great set up in your home for a fun filled family long weekend while we celebrated our son’s graduation. The home had a very large open floor plan which made for a great set up for our large family. They loved the huge sun porch with table and chairs, large backyard, hot tub, pool and we had a fire every night at the fire pit with s’mores. The home is clean and maintained well and it was easy to communicate with Hannah. Thanks so much for the great Airbnb!

We came to town for the Redbull soapbox derby and it was a nice quiet convenient place to come back to and relax. The pool, yard games and hot tub were nice for the young adults with us.

Beautiful and comfortable home! This house is a delight with lots of charming details and amenities. The house offers plenty of square footage with multi-use rooms and spaces throughout. The pool was beautiful, clean, and so much fun. We were in town to visit our son for his college graduation from Drake University. This home made the weekend even better for our family to celebrate the occasion. The location is close to everything and the neighborhood is historic and beautiful. We would highly recommend this home to anyone staying in the Des Moines area.

The home is large and great for many people. The party barn was an amazing place to hang out with family and play games. The home and yard is very private, we saw deer running across the yard. The check in and check out was so easy.

We absolutely loved our time here. This place is a gem - 10/10. The host was very welcoming, had wonderful communication and went above and beyond for our stay. The house is incredible, the pool and hot tub were amazing and everything is maintained very well. I saw some reviews about there only being one bathroom with a shower, our group of ladies were aware and planned accordingly and it was no issue for us at all (there is more than one bathroom to clarify, just one with a shower). There are TONS of comfortable spots throughout the house to get ready. We had many plans to get out in Des Moines while visiting, and we truly just never wanted to leave the house, we were enjoying it that much. We are already looking for dates to come back next year. Thank you! <3

Thanks for accommodating our group.

Beautiful home with a lot of special touches like snacks, full size shampoo, conditioner & body soap. Extra blankets, fully stocked kitchen with spices.

This little home was so perfect in every way. They had fun activities like board games and toys for kids. The kitchen was wonderful and had a few snacks in place, which was extremely thoughtful. We enjoyed the train going by (it wasn't very loud and passed by relatively quick). The bed was so comfy after a day of exploring Iowa! Overall, I really enjoyed our stay in Iowa. It felt like a like a perfect little home away from home. Now, I can't wait for us to come back to visit again!

The house was all we wanted and more! The view of the golf course over the fire pit in the evening was awesome! We played catch in the yard and used the hot tub in the evenings. The mini golf course next door was a huge hit with my boys. All in all, a great place to stay, everything we needed/wanted, definitely recommend and we will be coming back to play some golf next time!

We really enjoyed our stay at Jane's property. It is located in a quiet suburban area, only a few minutes from downtown De Moines, with a modest small town residential feel. The home is excellently maintained. Jane definitely a "super host" ... friendly, knowledgeable, responsive, and professional. Her property demonstrates her pride in ownership and attention to details, for example clear labeling of the kichen equipment and other items for guest use. We would recommend that you consider staying in this property if you have occasion to be in the Des Moines metro area.

This home was a very peaceful place to stay. It worked great for our family during our weekend of activities in the area. Would definitely stay again.

This is a very nice home located in a very nice and quiet subdivision. The home was new and in excellent condition. This is a great home for families with plenty of room and an incredible furnished basement with lots of amenities. Vern was very helpful and a great host; we will definitely stay here again for future trips.

>Everything was ok except for the uneven floor, and the guests passing with dogs while we were in the front porch.

Place really felt like home. I will definitely stay there again next time I’m in the area.

Jacob's house is very fresh in all respects, having been recently re-modelled. The couch in the living room is large and comfortable, and there are good reading lamps in all rooms. Everything was very clean. There was an issue which Jacob resolved very fairly. I would not hesitate to return and to recommend this home to others.

We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb! Communication before our arrival was excellent, and the check-in instructions were super clear and easy to follow. The home itself was absolutely gorgeous—spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed. One of our favorite features was that each bedroom had its own private bathroom, which made getting ready a breeze and gave everyone plenty of privacy. The layout was perfect for our group of six, and we especially enjoyed gathering around the large dining room table for board games. The game room downstairs was a big hit too, with a pool table and classic arcade games! The neighborhood was quiet, safe, and peaceful—ideal for a relaxing getaway. Small touches like the round ball ice cubes for our cocktails really stood out and were a fun favorite among our group. Having three TVs with streaming services was also a great bonus! We were beyond happy with our stay & would love to come back! Wish our weekend could have lasted at least a few more days!

The Draper is such a cool house! Meghan has set it up in such a fun and engaging way - feels like a trip within itself. Felt like being launched back in time.

We loved staying here. It was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Nicely furnished and updated. Host gave clear and easy instructions for arrival and departure. Close to a running trail for the runners, as well as nearby food and stores. The back deck was very peaceful. Would book again!

Stayed here while visiting my daughter and her husband who live locally. There was plenty of room and everything we needed. Host was very responsive and even shared about some local events happening. The house was clean and the beds comfy.

We had a wonderful stay at Russell’s place in Des Moines for the Half Ironman! The house was spacious, very clean, and incredibly comfortable. It was also super close to the race, which made everything so convenient. Russell was great with communication and very flexible—we really appreciated that. Highly recommend staying here!

Very quaint. Very clean. They have TVs in both bedrooms which we love and all the apps loaded so very easy to use
