Game Room | Firepit | 2 Master Suites | BBQ Grill

MelissaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Garrett and Tiffani made their place feel like home. Perfect layout for our large family. Lots of fun things for our kids of every age to do. Plenty of space as well. The location was perfect. Quiet neighborhood but walking distance to parks and food. The hosts quickly responded to any inquiries and were great at overall information regarding the rental. We would definitely stay here again. My littles loved the red house. 100% recommend the house and hosts.

Cozy Cute Bungalow

NykoleRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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!

Rest At Ease in Ankeny

AllysonRating, 5 stars3 days ago
We enjoyed our stay here. It was very homey. Plenty of towels. Very good water pressure. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen appeared stocked. We didn’t use the kitchen but you definitely could cook a meal. The living room was great to relax in and the back patio was inviting with chairs to sit in. This was a lovely place to stay. We highly recommend it.

Acquaint bed and bath

TeresaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
My daughter and I visited the Pella Tulip festival and wanted to extend our trip so we came here to see/hike the high trestle bridge & visit the arboretum. Renee’s place was great for our visit! Easy to find & get in, the place was super cozy and comfortable! Private outdoor space with the balcony was nice. The bathroom was clean and functional. The kitchen has everything we needed - a stove/oven with plenty of cookware, fridge & microwave, coffee maker, plenty of dishes. Beds were comfortable with good blankets and pillows. The only negative I found was that the keys were a little difficult to lock/unlock door. I would recommend and return!

Chic Unit |117| Downtown Des Moines | Free Parking

Ana LuciaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I really liked the place. I had a few steps that took longer because of my neurodivergent brain. everything was good. I liked your last message about leaving! it helped me to get as close as you need. I was not sure where to leave the trash, and I had to leave with a time frame I could not wait for an answer.

Newly Updated Midcentury Modern Garden Unit

JerodRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Excellent Stay at Angela’s condominium— I would have loved to stay a few more days to explore all the area had to offer, but it was a quick stop on a long roadtrip. The shower and Steam room was an excellent touch. I would stay again without hesitation.

Designer Downtown Condo Suite - Splendid View

ChristineRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Crystal clear instructions on how to get into the building and once you get in, it’s easier the next time. Had a small hiccup with parking, because of a race that had all the streets around the building closed, but Kyle gave us an alternative suggestion that worked out just fine. Everything was clean and exactly as described and shown. One of the most comfortable bed/pillow combos we’ve had!! Great location and walkable to everything we were in town for.

Triple Kings | Private Rooftop | Private Garage

ChrissyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The condo was amazing. Well furnished and comfortable beds. Lots of room to spread out. The rooftop area was pretty. The only negatives are that there is no front door…the only entrance is a steep garage. I’m not sure I knew that. Also, the k cup part of the coffee station was not working and the garbage disposal isn’t working.
