3rd time I've stayed at this home and it was perfect as usual. Ellen is very helpful and cate wait to stay again!

Great location, right across from the stadium, a few minute walk from a fantastic restaurant, and about a ten minute walk to shopping. Cute house enjoyed our stay thank you!

The house was great--easy to get to, very spacious, good value. Ellen is an excellent communicator and quickly responded when I had a couple misc. questions. It was nice to sit down at the dining table for a take-out meal, watch a movie, and pick between the two bedrooms! Would be a rad place for a group of people/family, too.

We just stayed there for one night...arrived after midnight and we left by 10am the next morning. Beds were comfortable and home was pleasant.

Ellen is a great hostess, as is her Airbnb partner, Jessica. The house suited my needs perfectly. I stayed from February-May while working as a travel nurse at IUHC.

Ellen was extremely flexible, very easy to work with. The house was nearly spotless, well-decorated, and it was easy to find everything. High quality linens and towels provided too. I would have no hesitations about staying again.

Such a cute house in a great neighborhood! Right across from Kinnick Stadium and about a mile to downtown IC which was a $4 uber ride, not to mention there are cabs all over the place. There's a cute little restaurant/bar a block away called Stella's which we loved. Ellen was really flexible with our reservation. Highly highly recommend staying here!!

Elena hours was adorable. It was extremely clean & had everything I needed. The bed was super comfy, and Ellen was quick to respond when I needed something. Super good experience!

I enjoyed staying at Dat & Alan's home a lot. It is a gorgeous house in a nice neighborhood. I am thankful that they helped pick me up and drive to the bus station multiple times. I am glad that I have the chance to visit des monies and stay with them for two days!

Unbelievably nice and accommodating. The house was gorgeous and had everything we could have hoped for and more. A wonderful stay in Des Moines

Dat and Alan were excellent hosts. They have a beautiful home and great recommendations on the area! The room was exactly like the photos and has everything you need. Will stay again.

Dat & Alan always have a incredibly clean home and very welcoming. Always love staying at their home when I in DSM for business.

My girlfriend and I spent the weekend here and as the other reviews mention it's a wonderful place to stay. It's obvious that Dat and Alan care about their guests as every important detail was covered. Plus they were very flexible with our arrival and made us feel comfortable in their home. This is a great place to just relax or walk around and explore the city.

Dat and Alan were wonderful hosts, they made me feel very welcome. Everything was very clean and neat. The bed was high quality and comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet despite being so close to downtown. Thank you.

The home was very warm and welcoming, dat and alan both being very friendly themselves. Quiet neighborhood, lots to do, would definitely recommend to anyone staying in the area.

I was running a little late for my estimated arrival. Alan called to check in to make sure that he would be there to welcome me. Everything about the stay was great! From the neighborhood, the house and room, the good tips and consideration. I will recommend this listing to others and hope to stay again!

Our favorite place to stay!

It is the best place to stay in town as simple as that, luxurious much better than many luxurious hotels I stayed in the US!

The house is so good!Love here very much!

The accommodations were exactly as expected, very nice, clean, and comfortable and located in a great relaxing location. Adam and Jessica were extremely prompt with all communication, friendly and extremely helpful and willing to assist in any way they could. The accommodations made our trip to university activities to watch our kids relaxing and very enjoyable. Thanks for a great stay!!!

Great place. Nice residential area. Apartment is just like in the pictures. Would stay again.

This property is stunning, but at the same time comfortable. It had everything we needed loved that it was so clean and fresh with all the modern conveniences. Easy check-in. If I am ever in Iowa City again, I hope this property is available for my stay.

Absolutely love this place! Amazing decor, warm atmosphere, and extremely comfortable. I slept like a baby. We will definitely come back. The hosts were great and made our Valentine's Day special. I would recommend this apartment to everyone!

Wonderful accomodations. Plenty of space, tastefully decorated and plenty of places to lounge with blankets I love this place and I'm trying to find a reason to come back.

Tama-Lea made us feel very welcome. The home was just as pretty and charming as the photos made it out to be. Very roomy and spacious and we loved staying there. Great location - easy walk into town. Would definitely stay here again and will recommend this home to others. Tama-Lea responded quickly to all of my questions and was very helpful and prompt.

We had a wonderful time at this house. After booking, we even discovered that my aunt once lived here in the 1970's, so we had her over to see all that's changed in the 40 years since. Our host left us a welcome note and bottle of wine, and they were always responsive when we asked questions.

Wonderful place in a location with a great view! We felt welcomed as soon as we arrived. Our host was always responsive and the house was spotless. We had a great experience here.

This place superceded our expectations. Beautiful historic district on a hill with an outstanding view. Large and spacious with nicely put together decor. You wont find a better value!

We loved staying here in Dubuque! This lovingly updated historic house is very quiet, clean, and comfortable. And the kitchen is a dream. We felt it was an excellent value. Tama-Lea was an easy and ready communicator without intruding. The historical neighborhood is beautiful and fascinating, perfect for walks in all directions (phone GPS came in handy). The 11th Street stairs take you to the library, shops, and cafes. Plenty of on street parking right out front. We found many fun, interesting, reasonably priced activities in Dubuque: National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium, Riverwalk, Fenelon Elevator, Eagle Point Park, public library, and exploring historic neighborhoods. We highly recommend spending a couple of days in Dubuque, especially staying at this extraordinary property!

Can't wait to return. The house is beautiful and cozy. We loved the location. Thank you for allowing us in your home.

This gorgeous house is perfectly no located to enjoy Galena and Debuque! The house is just as described and pictured, and has a great mix of modern and antique decor, along with a beautifully renovated kitchen. Checking in and out were a breeze, and our hosts even shoveled the walk for us after a light snow. We had a fantastic stay and plan to come back soon!

Tama-Lea was a wonderful host. She had extra sheets and towels set up for us, allowed a dog to tag along in the house, and was always available if needed. All that goes without mentioning the beauty of the home. Great place to host friends and relax for a weekend!

Everything about the Herda House is easy and charming. Easy to access, easy parking, plus, it's a short walk to downtown Cedar Rapids. It's a spotless, charming residence that nods to its history, which just makes it more interesting. There are good food and drink choices nearby, and the neighboring merchants are friendly and helpful. The house itself is comfortable with modern conveniences, including a mini-fridge. So glad we picked this one for our one-day business trip.

We enjoyed staying two nights (Saturday and Sunday) in the this one-room house, which seems to be very recently refurbished: fresh paint, flooring, walk-in shower, and wash-stand-style sink, everything well-maintained, clean, working fine. The big oak bed is one of the most comfortable ones we've ever slept in! We didn't really have any questions, once we arrived and picked up the keys per instructions ahead of (URL HIDDEN) the only time I spoke with Steph was when I dropped off the keys Monday morning. This is a fairly lively urban location and the house sits right at the front of the property, so there was some noise on Saturday night as patrons left the nearby pubs, but nothing particularly loud or disturbing, just people talking and car doors slamming. We felt that the location was described accurately in the listing. It's not set up for a morning cup of coffee or tea, but there are two coffee places within a half block. The NewBo Market across the street is an interesting operation, and looked to have a multitude of good lunch options, but we were visiting relatives so weren't there at the right time of day. You might want to note that the Market is closed Monday through Wednesday, except for the coffee place inside, which is only open until 10 AM. We would recommend the nearby Czech Museum and Sykora Bakery for kolaches.

I enjoyed my stay at this interesting little house. It was spotlessly clean on arrival, key pick-up and drop-off at the business next door was easy and parking was plentiful. The rehab done on the property is first rate - it looks and lives very nicely. Note: It is on a relatively well-traveled street, so a bit of night-time noise, but nothing excessive.

The host had everything set up as advertised and all of the pictures were accurate. We enjoyed this small bungalow and the area was fabulous. My husband and I were there for six days visiting family and have deemed this our place to stay for future visits. Great coffee at Brewmania!

Great house close to everything you need in Cedar Rapids. Had a great stay there!

The listing is exactly as described. It's small, quaint, in a fantastic location and very clean. What I most appreciated about working with Steph was the promptness of her replys. I would message her with a question and her response was basically immediate! I would highly recommend!

Pictures don't do this place justice. Location is great and home is super clean and perfect for a little weekend getaway

A very clean, cozy and quaint place. Staying there made my business trip to Cedar Rapids much less stressful. Reminded me of my grandmothers house.

This Airbnb is just 1.2 miles from Blank Children's Hospital, which made visiting our hospitalized grandson very easy. Our family group of five people loved having this clean home in a quiet neighborhood as a retreat at the end of the day. Aly had fresh flowers waiting for us when we walked in the door, which added to the coziness of this place. Our ten year old grandson stayed with us and enjoyed running around the back yard to let off steam. I highly recommend this listing for those who want a conveniently located, nicely furnished, and clean place to stay.

This beautifully maintained house made for an easy stay with convenient access to downtown Des Moines.

Fabulous stay! Many small details make this a cozy and desirable location.

The house was more perfect than I expected. Everything was so clean and well decorated. I felt right at home from the moment I walked in the door. Having travelled all day, the snacks were a savior! The bed was so comfy, I slept in passed check out time! Oops! I would definitely stay again if I come back to Des Moines.

What a great house! Awesome location and charming property. Very clean, comfy beds, snacks, a garden, & wine. What more could you ask for? The owners are available to answer any questions you have. I would recommend this property and would stay here again in a heartbeat. Very close to Drake university and downtown.

This home was charming and all of the little details made for an excellent stay! We will definitely be back!

If possible, I would give Aly's place a 6/5 on every rating. This house is as cute as they get, well decorated and comfortable. The kitchen had the necessary tools for me to cook. The TV was straightforward to operate. The beds were each equipped with sleep enhancing aromatherapy lotion. Really, I would go out of my way to come back to Des Moines just to stay here. It'd make for a nice writer's retreat.

The house was great! Comfortable, clean and charming! Lots of extras such as snacks, wine, spices and great air conditioning (it was 90+ during our stay)! We will definitely stay again! Aly responded to inquiries very quickly!

A beautiful room and private bath within walking distance of downtown Des Moines. I'm looking forward to staying there again.

Alan and Dat are truly two of the most hospitable people I have ever met. They both go above and beyond to make their guests feel welcome. We had a fantastic time staying with them and getting to know them. They're both very cultured and interesting characters who can chat you up about pretty much anything you can imagine. And their home is phenomenal. To be honest, I was overwhelmed by the description of their place and being the skeptic that I am I could not imagine what a home with a spa and theatre would look like. It will exceed your expectations!

What a great house! The most technologically advanced house my best friend and I stayed in. The room was cozy. The decor was contemporary. Alan offered the hot tub for us to use. Next time we will give it a whirl. Overall a great experience.

Dat and Alan were very welcoming and made our stay very pleasant. We loved the fact that we were within walking distance to downtown and didn't have to worry about driving around!

My brother and I were lucky enough to find a time when Dat and Alan had openings. Their home is beautiful and they were great hosts! Both guest rooms have their own ensuite bathrooms, along with incredibly comfortable beds. We enjoyed chatting and sharing travel stories. We hope to return to Des Moines again next year. Thanks again!

The listing was accurate; the house, our room, and our hosts were beyond great. We enjoyed visiting with them, and exploring the renovations they have done was particularly enjoyable. We were made to feel quite at home. It couldn't have been better.

One of the best places I've stayed in during my travels, regardless of it's a hotel or Airbnb. The heated floors were tremendous and the room itself had a great ambiance.

We had a great stay with Alan & Dat! The room was perfect (exactly as pictured), and they were wonderful, gracious hosts. Most of our time was away with family, so we didn't get to spend much time at the house, but we hope we can stay again in the future. Thank you, Dat & Alan!

The space was so beautiful and homey! It's in such a cute area with a nice coffee shop and amazing restaurant. We absolutely love our stay!

This Loft/Apartment was amazing. We were in town for a wedding at Hotel Julian and the loft was in perfect distance from the hotel and provided way more space and amenities. Charles and Tom were super helpful. They accommodated a later check in on Friday since we were not able to arrive till about 8. Tom recommended some restaurants. He sent us to Kalmes for burgers and they were delish. The little co-op store down the street from the loft provided plenty for us to cook food in the loft also. We really wish we had time to try Brazen for dinner, a recommendation from Tom. Would stay again in a heartbeat next time we are in the area.

The loft lived up to its billing! And the service was great too. We asked for two umbrellas and they were there quick. This is a great place, very spacious and clean, close to great restaurants. Highly recommend!

Clean and exactly as advertised. Great property and would recommend as a base to explore all Dubuque has to offer. Good communication throughout process.

I definitely have to say that our experience was awesome! This was our first time to the Dubuque/Galena area, and the accommodations were by far the highlight of this trip! We ended up getting in really late, but Captain Charles and Major Tom were fantastic and had us all set up with our arrival. A minor glitch turned into an amazing experience as we ended up staying in the larger loft. Our jaws dropped at how gorgeous the space was. We literally could have stayed indoors the entire time and enjoyed the mini vacation with our family. If we ever come out this way again we know that this is the place to stay!

The Novelty Lofts are a great place to stay in downtown Dubuque. The loft is exactly has listed and is in a great location, in walking distance of all the great restaurants and shops in downtown Dubuque. My college girlfriends and I stayed in the loft and it was the perfect space for a weekend of hanging out. There were 8 of us and we had plenty of room and the loft had air mattresses ready for us to use. I would highly recommend this rental for anyone staying in Dubuque with a group of friends of family. Charles was very responsive and easy to work with.

Loft is nice and clean in an up and coming area of Dubuque. Owner was very responsive to our needs. Large and airy, great for entertaining. We will definitely be coming back! Our relatives that visited us are excited to use Captain Charles's place for future guest options.

We were greeted in the lobby, the house was very neat and clean.. We had a wonderful stay !!!

A great place to stay! Lynda was very welcoming and nice. Would recommend to all.

Lynda is a wonderful host! She was very flexible with my arrival as I had a rehearsal until 10pm. It was super convenient to downtown Davenport. The breakfast was very yummy as well. I will definitely stay here again (if there's availability) next time I'm in Davenport.

I was in town for a weekend workshop. Lynda's was in a great location and she is an amazing host! Everything was so easy, very clean & comfortable. I love animals and her pets were so sweet. I hope I can come back sometime! Thank you Lynda!

We stopped through Davenport on our way from South Carolina to Minnesota for one night. We had the most wonderful experience with Lynda. She waited up for us for our late midnight arrival and showed us around. The bed was so comfortable - we slept the best we have in years. The whole home was SO clean and beautiful, it was much nicer than a hotel. There were a couple times when we exclaimed to each other that we wanted to move in. :) We planned on leaving at 7a the next day, but we wanted to sleep in and hang out around the house so we ended up delaying our departure. The breakfast spread was wonderful, as well. We are already planning our next trip to Davenport JUST to stay here with Lynda again. We also loved the very sweet dog and cat!

Excellent! Clean! Friendly!! Perfect place will recommend to anyone!

Though our trip was short, our stay was nothing less than what precious reviews have raved about! The house was so cute and cozy, and our bedroom was so luxurious and comfortable! Would definitely recommend!

Lynda was lovely. When I arrived we had a great conversation. Feel like we've known each other for a long time. From our conversation she made a great recommendation about sightseeing that fit my interest. Her home is in a nice quiet neighborhood not far from downtown. It's easy to get to and find. The whole house is beautifully decorated inside in a warm modern style. The bed and linens are nicer than most expensive hotels. And she has the fluffiest towels, also better than most expensive hotels.

We enjoyed our visit in Lynda's home very much. She's a wise and considerate host, and her home is welcoming, restful, and very clean.

awsome place,I d love to stay there again if I go to Des Moines next time.

Ram's place is perfect. Quiet, accommodating with a family's touch.

Amazing place to stay in Des Moines. Stayed here twice and loved both times--would recommend to anyone traveling into Des Moines. Hosts are great, tons of private space, and a ping pong table!

We really enjoyed our stay here! Ram was very accommodating and was always very prompt in responding when we had questions. Very beautiful house and very clean!

Ram and his family were great host!!! Ram was sooo friendly and was such a great host!! The place was so clean and very modern looking! The photos are very accurate representation of how it really looks and the location is nice since it's close to a Hyvee and only about 20 minute drive to Des Moines!

Our stay was wonderful! Everything we hoped for! Ram was very good at communicating with us and was there to assist us whenever we needed something. My mom and I were out for a girls weekend and he went out of his way to make sure there was a movie ready for us in the theater room! We really enjoyed meeting his family and they did a great job of giving us space and privacy. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Will definitely stay here again if we stay another weekend in DM!

The home was positively beautiful, the hosts had great communication, and our accommodations were spotless. Thank you for a good experience!

Ram was so friendly. We arrived late and he stayed up to welcome us and get us settled in. His house is gorgeous and modern and stands out in the area. Ram provided us with food and activity suggestions and gave us his number if we had any questions. The space is incredibly well decorated and clean and has every amenity that a traveler could desire. Thank you Ram for hosting us! Highly recommend this space!

Our stay at Red Rock Lake was PERFECT! We stayed in between our art show events for some nice quiet time and we got it. Len and Sharon are the best hosts you could have-they thought of everything one could possibly need and when our stay was up we really hated to leave. I told Sharon that I hesitate to leave a good review because everyone will want to stay there and then we won't be able to go back because they will be all booked up-lol Thank you Len and Sharon for a wonderful almost zen-like atmosphere

Spectacular home! Len and Sharon were so welcoming and kind. Enjoyed watching the eagles, the fireplace and the hot tub. Already thinking about a return visit. Truly a great romantic get away!!

The space was absolutely beautiful, with lots of space and quality throughout. We would've loved to spend even more time there. Len & Sharon had a wonderful desk full of information about the area and had great suggestions. The outdoor seating was wonderful and much loved with a beautiful view.

Great! We loved our experience and plan on coming back as soon as we can!

We loved staying at the lake house at Lake Red Rock! Len and Sharon made us feel very welcome at their beautiful home, and we enjoyed learning about some of the history of the area from Sharon. We found the whole experience of staying at the lake house incredibly relaxing. Len and Sharon were available if we needed anything, and were very communicative. We can't wait to go back for another visit!

We stayed here to get away from from the responsibilities of work and children - to just be us. It was perfect. We didn't have to spend the day in a car to get somewhere quiet and scenic. When we arrived, we got a brief history of the area from Len and Sharon (my husband has since become interested in learning more about Lake Red Rock), and were shown to our space. The fire was already burning...we had nothing to do but relax. We used the hot tub three times, kept the fire burning all day (Len kept our wood supply full), and never left the place. We brought food and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare it all. You will not be disappointed in your stay here!

This house is an incredible experience and great for a romantic getaway. The view can't be beat and there are several nice personal touches such as treats, information, spa like bathroom, coupons/local info and more. Be aware there is a long gravel road leading up to the house, but once you're there the house is worth it.

We had such a relaxing, peaceful stay at this apartment on Red Rock Lake. It was beautifully decorated and the bed couldn't have been more comfortable. There were so many nice touches, like almond pastries from Jaarsma's Bakery in Pella, guest robes in the bathroom, a prayer room for quiet reading, the makings for smores in the kitchen... The views were gorgeous, and we enjoyed roasting hot dogs and sitting by the fire pit in the evenings. Thank you Len and Sharon for your warm hospitality!

Nathaniel's home in the old creamery was right at the top of my Air BnB experiences. The house itself is very spacious and the interior is pulsating with artistic vitality. The countryside location in Fertile is ideal for relaxation. I highly recommend staying here if you are ever in the Clear Lake area.

Happy to have stayed here very much. The place feels really good to be in--the upstairs has nice different spaces to hang out and the bed was really comfortable and so forth, but the downstairs is beautiful and transporting and Nathaniel really made us welcome there. The back living room, the kitchen, the river, the light, the cats, wonderful. Also very special to have a reason to be in that tiny town and explore the area. Pilot Knob State Park, Clear Lake, Mason City- nothing spectacular but so memorable. The town of Manly- all its public signage, and by Fertile, all interesting. Nathaniel was considerate, warm, accommodating, and loved his place. Really was an escape.

Our stay at this eclectic Creamery was eclipsed only by the thoughtful presence and conversation of the host, Nathaniel. The Creamery's charm lies in the delight and curiosity you feel in picking up all sorts of antique objects (a surprise found in every corner), browsing through a vast collection of books, gazing out the windows. Nathaniel played REAL flamenco records, after I told him I liked flamenco!. My friend had a heartfelt discussion with Nathaniel about searching for one's hidden roots. We came away with the feeling we had made a friend and immediately missed being there upon leaving to continue our road trip. Btw, Nathaniel made a good impromptu dinner for us that included a drink with a fennel seed infused alcohol that made you actually stop and think about what you were tasting. We hope others come to stay, relax, enjoy the company and solace. "Soda"

Nathaniel helped create some wonderful memories. His home is a gem, his old-world hospitality and conversation is marvelous. I was visiting Mason City for a conference and The Old Creamery is a more than worth the extra drive for those considering it. Every 5 star review below me is absolutely accurate and completely indicative of the reception you will receive.

A truly special place. We could have easily spent a few days at The Creamery and still have felt like there were more nooks and crannies to explore, fascinating books to flip through, and pieces of history to discover. Nathaniel has put a lot of care into creating a relaxing and intriguing place for his guests. Beds were clean and comfy, and we immediately felt right at home. He even made us a delicious dinner after our long day of driving! I cannot say enough good things about our stay - we truly hope to come back one day.

This is a wonderful place. I stayed here at the end of a long day and a long drive, and I had such a restful and peaceful stay. There is plenty of privacy here, as you have the entire upstairs of the Creamery to yourself, but Nathaniel is also a friendly and welcoming host who will make you feel right at home. I would definitely stay here again.

Nathaniel was a wonderful host and a great communicator! His renovations have turned the Old Creamery into a charming space that immediately felt warm and like home for us. It was the perfect getaway spot for a mini-retreat from the twin cities. I will be back and I will bring friends!

Nathaniel met us as planned and walked us through the old creamery, explaining everything to us and explaining his policies which were all very reasonable. He's very polite and very articulate. He's a great host with a great place to stay. We plan to visit again.

What a great quiet and quaint place! Julie was there to greet us and show us around and then left us to enjoy the weekend! The atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for to relax and get away from our hectic lifestyles. It has a country feel, but is close to civilization. Loved it! Thank you again Julie for your hospitality!

What a wonderful weekend! The cottage is perfect for a getaway, is close to DSM and the surrounding area. The cottage itself is immaculate, charming and comfortable. Our host was very accommodating and welcomed us with a great explanation of the space and grounds. I will come back.

Our stay in Julie's cabin was wonderful. Julie met us outside and showed us the grounds. We had a nice chat, then she left us to our weekend. The cabin is very well appointed with cozy/comfortable living space, a perfectly stocked kitchen for guests that wanted to cook most meals, like we were; and a lovely bedroom that made us feel very much at home. Julie left a few gifts for us as well in the form of treats and kind note. We built fires, we cooked meals, we slept well and we explored the area. It was a terrific pair of days and we cannot recommend Julie's cabin enough. A top AirBnB spot.

The cabin was beautiful and felt very quiet and isolated despite being only minutes from Des Moines and Ankeny. It was a great cozy retreat and Julie was very friendly and helpful. She had a little basket of goodies and a nice note waiting for us and gave me a tour of the place. I highly recommend this spot to anyone trying to get away with their spouse.

Julie was very welcoming and hospitable. This is a perfect quiet getaway yet close enough to trails and Des Moines if needed.

Great property. Plan to stay again.

I can't say enough good things about Julie and the cottage. She is a fantastic host and the cottage is just the ticket if you are looking for some relaxation. You aren't far from civilization, but it feels like you are in a secluded little retreat. Beautiful landscaping, lots of wildlife to view, and a great running/biking/hiking trail just down the road. I honestly didn't want to leave!

Just what my new bride and I were looking for. Very quiet and quaint near the lake and bike trail. Julie, thank you for letting us stay at your cottage!

I travel for work and try to stay in downtown DSM, and Ricky's place was just perfect. A very clean, comfortable, and open space with a fantastic view. Literally steps from my favorite coffee shop, and some of Des Moines' best restaurants. Even though it's in the heart of the city, the apartment was calm and quiet for a good nights sleep. Check in was easy, communication was fast, and the free parking was a huge factor for me - can't recommend this place enough!

Best host/space in area. Close to anything, great for work or play.

Great place, Very clean. Great location close to lots of restaurants and night life. Would definitely re-book upon return.

This condo was perfect! The location was great. We were able to walk to coffee shops in the morning, and restaurants and in the evening. The bed was comfy and not having to worry about downtown parking was nice. The communication was great and would definitely stay there again.

My stay could not have been more perfect. The apartment is immaculate and incredibly large for a studio. The downtown location makes it easily accessible to all parts of Des Moines. The host was quick to respond to any questions.

Great location in the core of Des Moines. Close to bars, restaurants and a fantastic grocery/market. Easy 15 min walk to the convention center. Place was comfy and clean and Ricky was more than accommodating. Another great AirB&B experience. There was some morning noise, but nothing unexpected for a downtown site. Place had a relatively well equipped kitchen. We stocked up at the HyVee market, a block or so away, and had breakfast in the apt. You could also do the same for dinner, but lots of nice restaurants close by. BTW, the HyVee has an amazing beer selection!

Great place to stay! Communication between the host was amazing and EASY - would highly recommend and stay again in the future.

Ricky's place is beautiful, bright, and modern. His directions for check-in and out were very clear and helpful, and he was very easy to get in touch with. This is a beautiful space-- we definitely recommend!

We loved our stay at Beth's place! It's a charming apartment with great comfort and character.

We rented Beth's house for our daughters wedding that was downtown Cedar Rapids. The location was perfect, Beth and her husband were so accommodating and easy to work with! Our only regret is not being able to spend more time in that quaint downtown! We will be back

The space was beautifully laid out, cozy, clean, and stylish. It was easy to make arrangements and communicate with Beth. The neighborhood was easy walking to restaurants, shops, breweries, and the downtown. It was a perfect weekend getaway space.

Wow! I don't know where to start gushing about my superior experience at The Heart House. From my first contact with Beth until my last (which, incidentally, was late in the day after she extended my check-out time, thank you!) this stay more than met my expectations. The house itself is so well appointed and the use of space makes it feel much larger than it is. Beth was generous with her recommendations about the neighborhood, and I had a nice time following them. I had the good fortune to stay for a week, but I would have liked to stay much longer. I look forward to traveling back to Iowa in the future, if only to stay at The Heart House and further explore.

We loved this space. My family of 5 (youngest is 16) stayed here and were very comfortable. The sofas both have a trundle that pulls up to create roomy beds. The bed in the bedroom was so comfortable! Lots of interesting decor to look at, including some history. Just a few block s from the NewBo area, which we loved. Highly recommended!

Such a amazing place to stay. The apartment is beautifully decorated and makes you feel at home. The best air bnb experience I have had so far. She had Easter treats for my fur guy Max and also treats for me. Great coffee shop within walking distance and many restaurants as well. Max is a laid-back pup so I wasn't worried about the collection of antiques she has gathered but a more hyper dog could require some puppy proofing. Beth was great to work with... Very kind and welcoming. I have close friends in town and can't wait to stay again.

Beth tried her best to help out despite uncontrollable communication snafus. will recommend for sure!

Beth was a wonderful host and has created a beautiful place to stay. We loved the location and every unique detail that made up the home. Beth was very kind, easy to communicate with and I would highly recommend her space to anyone.

We were so lucky to find Penny's place. It is an oasis! Gorgeous land and delightful farm animals. Their cow just had a baby calf and it was really fun to meet her. Three pigs and chickens round out their farmette. At nightfall, be sure to light a camp fire as you stargaze and listen to the owls. Beautifully decorated and well appointed cabin. Penny provided such thoughtful treats, I even enjoyed my first s'more in years. Eggs from their chickens for breakfast and the most delicious sweet tea. Plenty of fun to be had hiking, canoeing, playing bean bags and hanging out with their sweet dog. They have such love for their land and animals and it shows. Penny and Dan were extraordinary hosts, and very cool people to boot. If you want a unique and memorable experience, don't miss out! We will definitely stay here again.

We had a great time in rural Iowa at the Honeybee Cottage. The cottage is surrounded by beautiful trees and wonderful, twisting hiking paths. It was great to get away from the city in a cozy cabin. We enjoyed the farm-fresh eggs, grilled steaks from the local meat shop is Cedar Falls and the warm fireplace. Though we didn't spend too much time with Penny and her family, every interaction that I had with her was warm and genuine. I love the story behind how the cabin was built that she told me, it made our mini vacation that much more special. :)

So incredibly wonderful! A true slice of heaven. Penny was sweet and amazing and our stay was fun and relaxed. Everything described and more. I've never been to such an amazing place!

Awesome little cottage in Iowa! Felt like a peaceful haven from the business of life with trails and a creek to hike and canoe! Would love to come again sometime and see the farm in full swing! :)

Penny and her family made us feel extremely welcome from the start and went above and beyond to ensure we had a pleasant stay. We only wish we could've stayed longer to fully experience everything they had to offer on their property. We would love to stay again in the future!

We have stayed at B and B's all over the country. This one topped them all. Stunning cabin, gorgeous and relaxing location, and the kindest hosts we have ever met! We will definitely be back!

Simply a wonderful, relaxing stay in the countryside. We loved meeting our hosts and having them give us a tour around the farm with their cows, pigs and chickens! Fresh eggs in the fridge and hanging out on the porch gazing at the stars at night was a wonderful way to break up our road trip. There's also several walking/running trails next to a creek we explored in the morning. We'll definitely be back! The cottage itself is well-appointed and very comfortable.

Penny was a gracious host and we felt welcomed and at home right away. The property is even better in person than the listing and photos describe. We were in the area for a wedding and needed something quick but we fell in love with the cottage and wished we were able to be there for more of our stay. Relaxing and a peaceful retreat. Trails were great and look forward to returning to spend more time. The Frankes were fantastic hosts! Even enjoyed some of the Irish fest on Sunday with them. Looking forward to a return stay.

"Delight" accurately describes our experience at Linda and Terry's place. The house is wonderful, immaculate, and the quality of everything, right down to the towels and even toilet paper, is excellent. What really sets this house apart is its owners. Linda and Terry are warm, kind, just fantastic people who treat guests as friends. This was our second stay at their place, and we would be thrilled to stay with them again in the future. Thanks again, Linda and Terry!

We were warmly greeted by Linda and Terry when we arrived. Their home was everything we were wanting for our stay in Des Moines. Linda provided lots of little extras as well. My daughter was happy there was a nice separate room for her, and enjoyed playing with the family dogs.

My husband and I had a great experience at Linda and Terry's house. We felt right at home and enjoyed getting to know them. Location is great, close to Downtown Des Moines. Their neighborhood is well established and very nice. We were very happy with our stay!

This has so far been my favorite air bnb experience! Linda and Terry were incredibly friendly and kind and I really enjoyed the conversations that I had with them. They have a beautiful home and it is in a very nice neighborhood that is close to all that Des Moines has to offer. The space was immaculate! The bed was really comfy and I had a wonderful sleep. All the amenities that you could possibly imagine were provided. I would love to stay here again!

Linda and Terry are the best! They were a delight to talk to and get to know, and were wonderful hosts. The unit is very spacious, and the home is located in a great neighborhood. We really can't say enough good things about our stay with Linda and Terry. Highly recommended!

Linda and her husband were awesome hosts. Their house is clean and charming and I had the entire downstairs at my disposal. The massage chair was great and I loved all the privacy will visit again if coming through the area thanks again Charles

Our experience was wonderful. Linda and Terry were lovely and accommodating. The description was exactly as stated/pictured- clean, organized, and comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and the overall location was perfect for the various parts of Des Moines. We felt at home and they both went out of their way to make us comfortable. Terry made breakfast and we were able to have great conversation with them in the morning. Over the course of our trip, my nephew was so excited to talk to them, we could barely keep him downstairs. Terry was nice enough to let him come upstairs with him in the morning. I couldn't recommend them highly enough and wouldn't hesitate to stay there in the future!

Beautiful home in a great neighborhood with walkable access to the art center and a beautiful lakeside park. We were welcomed by Terry who was super friendly and we sat in the Patio to chat and he gave us some great insider tips for what to check out and where to eat like zombie burger and Des Moines tap room. The place is very clean and has beautiful personal touches that will make you feel at home. There is a coffee machine in your basement room and a charger adaptor in the outlet so no need to pack your charger. Overall a fantastic experience for our first time in Des Moines. Thank you Linda and Terry!

Kori and her home are both lovely. We stayed for only one night (and arrived late, she was very accommodating), but felt very at home. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was spotless, and her collection of books in the guest room is impressive. Kori herself seems like quite an interesting women, we were sad we were not able to spend more time to get to know her! One of the best Airbnb stays I've had.

I was impressed by how organized and comfortable my visit to Kori's home was- what a little gem! I was especially impressed that Kori is so proficient at hosting, she was able to do an awesome job even whilst suffering from a backache! If I come through Des Moines again, I wouldn't hesitate to check her availability.

the home was bright and cheery and very clean. The room was relaxing and delightful and the bed was extremely comfortable. Kori was a helpful and respectful hostess. I would definitely stay here again.

Nice, clean and comfortable.

Kori was a very accommodating and kind host! Her sweet, cozy house is in a great location - close to many shops and restaurants. The space that I stayed in was both clean and comfortable, and Kori provided me with everything I could've needed in terms of amenities! I would definitely recommend her place to anyone passing through Des Moines in the future!

Kori was very respectful and polite! I was quite comfortable during the stay.

Great neighborhood, very safe. Kori was a very good host - she greeted me warmly, made sure I had everything I needed, invited me to contact her if I needed anything else, and then gave me my privacy for the evening. My stay was very short (about 12 hours), but it was exactly what I needed for a great price. Kori's home is really beautiful. You can tell she takes great pride in her house. Cozy, well decorated, and fully functional. A great place to stay. Thanks, Kori!

Clean, cozy space. Convenient Beaverdale location. Welcoming host!
