Fitness-friendly holiday rentals in Iowa

This was a great place to stay in downtown Des Moines. It was close to the Civic Center where we saw Hamilton, and had a variety of restaurants and activities within walking distance. And don't forget the Hy-Vee that was just down the street. We never needed the car during our 2 night stay. The apartment was roomy and exceptionally clean. The view from the living room window included the river, plaza and Civic Center - really beautiful! Mac had lots of thoughtful extras like toothpaste, floss, coffee, and simple check-out procedures. He was a very responsive host. We would gladly stay here again. Thanks, Mac!

Perfect location to visit Drake. Very clean, modern and well-appointed studio with everything one needs. I hope it is available next time I visit!

Great place, comfortable, tidy, had everything we needed, close to everything, walkable. Could not be more impressed with communication.

I had a wonderful stay at Dallas’s Airbnb! From the start, Dallas was very responsive and answered all of my questions quickly and thoroughly, which made the booking process smooth and easy. The place itself was spotless and well-maintained, offering a comfortable and relaxing environment. I appreciated the attention to detail for the checkin and out process. I’d definitely recommend this Airbnb to others. Would love to stay again!

We had a great time in this condo. It was a great space for a small extended family getaway with 5 adults and 2 kids. I wish we had more time to enjoy some of the other things in the Okoboji area!

Thank you Jessica. You have a wonderful place and it was perfect! We will for sure stay again!

This is great place with a great view of downtown des moines! Very clean and easy to get to. Will definitely book again in the future.

Nice. Clean. Quiet

We enjoyed our stay! Perfect for a weekend getaway.

Very friendly host. The apartment has a lot of space, is very clean and easy to live in. When we come back we would love to rent this apartment again. Around the corner several good restaurants and a hyvee to get groceries.

Ryan’s place was very clean and comfortable. We stayed with our family of four and had a great time. We were very grateful to have details thought out like providing detergent for the washer and dryer, and soap for the dishwasher. The patio view was amazing in the mornings in the evenings. Great proximity to the water park and restaurants.

Great place to stay! Beautiful view, walking distance to restaurants/pool/etc., enough space for the whole family, very clean and had everything we needed & more. We would definitely stay here again! Beautiful home.

Great location, comfortable stay. Justin was very responsive and overall great host. Would recommend if you need to stay in or around downtown Des Moines.

Such a beautiful condo! We had a wonderful stay and Karri was so quick to respond when we had a few questions. Would stay there again in a heartbeat!

This place was fantastic! Brenda was an amazing host and very helpful with anything needed. Definitely recommend.

Great place to stay. The apartment was Very comfortable and clean. Host was quick to respond and made sure the AC was set at a temp that was comfortable for us before we got there. Would definitely recommend!!

June Anne's place was absolutely beautifully! It was exactly as described, extremely clean and wonderfully decorated. It was the perfect place for us to stay while visiting family in the area. June Anne thought of everything. I would definitely stay here again!

We found this gem for a last minute getaway and it checked all our city escape boxes! The water was such a nice feature and having the boats available for us right there on the property was really nice. We can’t wait to come back again another time!

Layne's house was exactly as described and what the pics showed. The house has all the necessary amenities and then some. WE (blaming my mother... LOL) had a glitch with the door and contacted Layne. He was quick to respond and correct the issue. The area is in a nice quiet neighborhood, which wasn't far from the museums and Downtown. We found several places to eat but if you get a chance, stop in Tornado's Grub & Pub for the BEST burgers! Me, my mom, sister, & sis-in-love took a girls trip to Iowa so I could check it off my bucket list (9 more states to go!!). We all agreed that Layne's A-Frame home was the perfect spot.

Blake was invaluable. He addressed every question I had. I am from Cleveland, and he even made an extra accommodation for me, which I won't mention, but it was incredibly helpful since I just purchased a house in the area.

The house was beautiful… probably one of the best and nicest Air bnb’s we have ever stayed in! The house fit our group perfectly and it was so clean and organized and it was very convenient to stores! The beds were super comfy! It was so close to our family that lives there so it made it a beeeze to go back and forth from their house! They had an awesome outside area where we actually hung out and played some family games at night under the lights! And we took advantage of the very nice hot tub on the last night! I highly recommend this place!

Linda was very responsive, friendly, and helpful. The home was cozy and a great place to stay.

We stayed one night and had a great time. Communications were great and check-in was smooth. We met Linda and went out to dinner. She is super nice. The house was clean and the decor was very fun (lots of nostalgia type stuff). We would definitely stay again.

Loved our stay in Des Moines! My brother in laws and I came in town for a half Ironman. Debbie was amazing to work with through the entire process and it turns out she had done some herself. So in addition to a beautiful home, with great accommodations, we also received helpful tips and words of motivation from her as well. Race weekend turned into a full family affair and l can’t thank her enough for her flexibility in working with us to make the stay as comfortable as possible for everyone involved. Some “on the fly”adjustments were made and she was extremely helpful and gracious throughout. Thank you for making such a special weekend that much better! “Iowa Nice” was experienced in full effect!
