Vine Abode

WillRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

I stayed here while in Creston visiting my kids. This place provide enough room and a great environment for me to spend time with my kids. It was welcoming and furnished with everything we needed during our stay. I will definitely try to book this every time I come to town for a visit.

The kitchen features modern cabinetry with a bright countertop and stainless steel appliances, including an oven, microwave, and refrigerator. A large window allows natural light to illuminate the space, which contains a sink and a coffee maker on the counter.

Remodeled Brick Home close to everything

MackenzieRating, 5 stars3 days ago

We absolutely loved our stay here! Beautiful, spacious, and clean home! Great place for us moms and preteens/teens to hangout headed toward a tournament. We were able to truly relax and enjoy. Scott was very responsive, friendly, and accommodating! Would love to stay again.

A welcoming front porch features two white adirondack chairs positioned beside a small table. A green plant is placed on the table, and a textured rug in warm colors adds comfort underfoot. Natural light enters through the surrounding windows.

Cozy Historic Escape

ChristineRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Jennifer's place was extremly clean and comfortable. The place is an older home with older home quirks, but nothing to detract from your stay and the photos listed here are true. The kitchen was modern and functional and the bath was updated. Its located on a very quiet street that we appreciated and one of the rare rentals that has functioning blockout curtains. We had an excellent stay.

Getaway on Grand King Bed

HollyRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Eon's place is even better than the photos. One thing we like but dont think about much is having a TV in the bedrooms, in addition to the main living area. Eon's place has those kind of convenient extras that make it a warm and welcoming place. It was also nice to have parking so close to the entrance! The beds were comfy; I kinda felt like Goldilocks, deciding what bed would be most comfortable...only they all were comfy! It was also nice to have a variety of treats on the table upon arriving. Thanks, Eon! Your Airbnb is perfect!

Apartment in Winterset

Luxury 2 Bed/2 Bath Condo

ScottRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

It was everything that I could have asked for. The town is great and everything is walkable. Everyone that I met was amazingly friendly. The apartment was very clean and new. The closets were huge. The only downside that I ran into is lack of a dresser. There is a space for that type of clothing, but it is limited. The view is one of a kind and I can't think of anything that they didn't think of from coffee, to filters and all kitchen amenities that you could ever ask for.

A balcony view is captured through a window, showing a round table paired with two patterned chairs. The wooden deck is surrounded by trees, and a sunset casts warm hues over the horizon.

Woodland Heights hist. district house on the hill.

CharleneRating, 5 starstoday

We loved staying here! The neighborhood was very nice and homey. We walked each day down a block to get coffee and had dinner nearby as well and walked home around 10 pm, felt completely safe even with just myself and a friend. The space is perfect for a weekend getaway and easy to get to the local attractions. Highly recommend!

Inspiring & Calm Elevated Scenic View

DiamondRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

I stayed at Midwest’s Airbnb as transitioning housing until I found something more semi-permanent as a traveling healthcare worker. It was such a relief (after walking through other properties in Des Moines) to come across this place in West Des Moines! It was clean, spacious, in a fantastic location, and wonderful communication and hospitality given by the host. The deck and garage are an added bonus. Extremely safe location with easy access to downtown. I will definitely be staying again when my family visits!

The Cozy Cottage

SteveRating, 5 stars3 months ago

This was a great place! If I could I would come back and stay more than one night. The only things I would mention are that the switch in the kitchen that you think is a light switch is the garbage disposal, so watch out haha, and if you are staying a Saturday night be aware that none of the restaurants in town will be open for breakfast Sunday morning (but that's not Verlin and Shannon's fault). The place is clean, welcoming and peaceful. There were helpful instructions everywhere, and little gifts and amenities throughout. We had no trouble staying warm, plenty of blankets. The coffee is a Keurig. The layout is great, with one of the bathrooms being in a bedroom and the other available to the whole house. All in all it was perfect for us passing through headed north, but if you have reason to be in the area for longer avail yourself of this great place to stay.

We stayed here for my son's wedding. Very peaceful, private, and comfortable. Husband saw otters in the pond while walking the dogs! Deer in the yard both mornings. Comfy beds and lots of games if you have time for that which we did not unfortunately. I would highly recommend staying here! It is a very short trip to The Hive wedding venue too! Thank you for a great stay!

This was the second or maybe third time I've stayed with Deb and it's always consistently exactly as billed. Whenever I need an Airbnb in DSM, I always look to see if Deb's space is available first. I would absolutely recommend the space and everything else that will come with staying with Deb.

Sweet Cottage

Clean, comfortable and very stylish. Well-appointed with lots of nice little touches. Julie was very easy to communicate with, and we absolutely loved the location – private, in an interesting neighborhood, yet an easy commute to anyplace in the city. We loved this place and were thankful for the opportunity to stay here – it was perfect for us: we hope to be back!

Absolutely beautiful property and place! Was even better than I expected! Everything you could possibly need for your stay. Kitchen was fully stocked, bedrooms were more than cozy, bathrooms super clean, and extremely hospitable details everywhere. Jeannette was so responsive to my questions and very welcoming. Couldn't have picked a better place for my weekend getaway!

Luxury perfect for work or play!

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 26 reviews1 week ago

This was a terrific stay! Good location in downtown Des Moines, loved having private garage parking. Entry from inside garage - there is a 1/2 bath off the kitchen/family room. Bedrooms are large and all upstairs for privacy. Very nice bath attached to each with Master bath having double sinks! Large laundry room with full size washer/dryer. The private outdoor 3rd floor deck is a great space with a frig and sink up on that level. Nice outdoor furniture on the outdoor deck - Everything clean, clean, clean with very nice basic kitchen utensils, and equipment. My MIL suggested a bench or chair in the front bedroom so you don’t have to sit on the bed to put shoes on. At 99yo that was her only comment - did the stairs like a champ and appreciated the lights on the staircase. It was very comfortable to stay at this air b&b!

Home in Adel

A farm get-a-way

kateRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Molly was a great host and very helpful when we had questions and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable for our family. Her home was very clean, the furniture was really comfortable, and the home was on an active farm surrounded by beautiful and peaceful farm land. The home is also only about 10 minutes to Adel which has a cute little downtown area with several resturants and only about a half hour to the West end of Des Moines which had a lot of shopping and activity. It was a perfect stay for us.

The Lux-Lodge,Hot Tub, Game room, Movie Theater.

GeraldRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Perfect spot for our group of 16 girls. Plenty of room spread out and amenities to use. Each person had a bed to sleep in and there were plenty of couches for lounging. The kitchen area was huge and perfect our large group to cook and all eat together. The location was central to everything we needed to get to. Most of our events were within 15mins. Everyone had a great time. Thank you.

Cottage getaway; perfect for some relaxation

EllieRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Our stay at this cottage was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at home. The setting was beautiful and tranquil, the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. One of the highlights for us was the thoughtful touch of providing games—we had a blast playing Pictionary on the whiteboard, which led to so much laughter and fun. The hot tub was an absolute dream, allowing us to unwind under the stars in complete serenity. But what truly made this stay special was the hosts’ kindness in moving the chickens (“the girls”) closer to the Airbnb just for me! Visiting them each day was such a joy, and it added an extra charm to an already wonderful getaway. Casey was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay, making sure we had everything we needed and answering any questions right away. Their hospitality truly made the experience even more enjoyable. Everything about this stay exceeded our expectations, and we would absolutely love

A spacious back deck features a central fire table with flames flickering over decorative stones. Two cushioned seating areas, each with two chairs and a loveseat, invite relaxation. Green trees and a wooden fence create a serene backdrop for the outdoor space.
