Only reason for the 3 star for location was due to the massive amount of snow on the roads getting to the house which made it difficult to get a larger vehicle in the driveway (which the host cannot control). The home was warm, secure, very comfortable, and I felt very safe staying there. The fenced yard was perfect for the dog. All in all, I would stay here the next time I am in the area.

This is a lovely house in a good neighborhood. Communication between the initial manager was excellent, the second manager I had minimal contact with but was also responsive. Kudos to the the handyman Micah, he was also responsive to my requests and always let me know when he was doing work around the house.
Location was great to get around Des Moines, close to Merle Hay… also easy access to I 80, 235 to west Des Moines etc
Well appointed kitchen… dining rooms chairs were not too comfortable
Bedrooms were comfortable
Overall a nice place to stay

My number one thing communication. Communication with manager was so easy and fast! Super clean and easy check in. Great fenced backyard and not over decorated which is important for a 2 year old to stay out of. Thanks for hosting! Super duper close to groceries, gas, and food.

I booked this property in December 2022 for our trip in June 2023. We came down from the Twin Cities MN for a large car show. I asked if I could park my car in the garage and have access to outside water for washing the car up. Yes, the owner said he will make that happen.
Well, I didn't get any check-in info. I sent 2 messages. The info arrived 2 hours before we had to leave. Once we arrived. No outside water and hose and no garage access. Great. Went inside the home. Dirty dishes. And all of the bedding and towels had to be washed. What?!? No one staged the home at all. Luckily the previous renter was clean. Very disappointed.
The home was very nice. Small. Clean. Uncluttered. Minimal. Quiet neighborhood. No extras at all, which is fine.
Love the property. But the management was very poor. The property should be ready for the renter.

We stayed here while visiting our children and grandchildren for end of the year events. The home was comfortable and easy to be in. Too cold for sitting in the yard. Maybe next time.

Every rental should be this perfect - clean, well-stocked, and perfectly appointed. It feels like you are staying in a hotel-like setting and not someone's random rental property. I appreciated the hospitality and the effort to make it feel like home for an extended stay. I hope it's available the next time I'm in Des Moines.
5.0
The home was was very clean and well taken care of and provided a great place for us to enjoy visiting my son and granddaughter. The fenced in yard was a wonderful option to allow my daughters dog and my granddaughter to play safely in. Patio furniture would have been nice for us to have been able to sit on while watching them play or while we grilled.
Another nice touch would be to have pet bowls available since it is a pet friendly rental.
Overall a nice place to stay!
