Our (growing) family gathered in Des Moines for Christmas and were really pleased with this home. The owner was quick to respond to questions. Will definitely keep it in mind for future trips to Iowa.

Our family was in town for a memorial service, and we had such a lovely stay here. All of the beds were extremely comfortable, each living area had its own bathroom, the hosts left amazing and sweet snacks for our enjoyment, and the living room with the fireplace was just so cozy and such a lovely place to hang out. Thank you for an amazing stay! Highly recommend.

What a great find! The house was comfortable for my family of 3 adults and 2 children. The fireplace was so cozy and it’s close to everything in Des Moines! Thanks Mariam for being a gracious host.

We stayed here for a family get-together and this place was a great home base for our needs (5 adults and 2 kids). Plenty of parking, easy access, multiple TVs and space for everyone to spread out a bit, handy provided snacks held us over on the first night. It was a comfy backdrop to a fun trip!
Plus, one of the kids left a tablet behind and the host was very helpful in reuniting us with it.

We had a great time. The house is so clean and had everything we would need or wanted. We came up to go to the state fair and had a great time there.

One of the very best properties I've stayed in, and our good experience started before we ever set foot in the place. We had a scheduling issue with our trip, and the host was very prompt and accommodating in adjusting our booking, and very responsive during our stay as well.
The house is updated, immaculate and situated in a quiet neighborhood, with good parking and plenty of space inside. We didn't have an opportunity to use the kitchen, but it looked to be well-equipped and included lots of great snacks (of which we did avail ourselves).
It's located just a short jaunt to the Waveland Cafe and Maccabee's Deli (get the pastrami), and a bit further to a lot more shopping and services. It's also not far off Interstate 235, allowing access to all the other cool stuff Des Moines has to offer.
I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

We loved this small but great home. It was clean and reasonably equipped (although we would suggest adding a frying pan and chopping knives to the kitchen) which made our stay nice and easy. The Wi-Fi was great here too!
The neighbor hood was quiet which meant we were not disturbed at night and the beds were comfortable.
Our host also left an excellent selection of complimentary snacks which were perfect after a 6 hour drive!
Would definitely stay here again if we come back to Des Moines x
