This cottage was adorable, and it was indeed a happy experience I would seek out this home again if returning to Des Moines. The hosts were easy to communicate with, the cottage is roomier than it looks like it would be, with cute decor, a comfortable bed, and an ample bathtub. The neighborhood was quiet, and there were little bunnies hopping around the yard, and deer nearby. It was easy to get around Des Moines from here (and I highly recommend eating at Lucky Lotus or picking up at Fong's Pizza, both of which are not too far away)

Small house, perfect for a single person or couple. We grilled out with friends and family while in town and had a great time. Neighborhood is lovely and quiet and they have a dog who will come visit for some pets while looking for his next stick to chew. :)
