Thank you so much for an awesome stay! We'll definitely stay here again. The large fenced in backyard was a bonus for sure. Our little dogs loved being able to run around free without their leash.

Quiet Country home, nature & fishing -5min to city

TimiRating, 5 stars6 months ago
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!

Cozy, comfy, and quiet! This little cottage had everything we needed and wanted. Beautifully restored, with all the modern amenities. The neighborhood was so peaceful and lovely.

The Victoria....

TeriRating, 5 stars3 months ago
This house has character. How fun it was to stay in a house that took us back to our grandparents houses. Darlene had it decorated for the holidays, which was fabulous. She was proactive in making sure we had everything we needed. She even monitored the weather to make sure we were taken care of when it snowed. As our 4 year old granddaughter would say: “two thumbs up! Way up!”

GG’s Cabin

PatriceRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We loved this cute little cabin and it had everything we needed! Chelsea & Jana were both very quick to respond to any questions we had. The cabin was very clean & it's in a private location just outside of town. We enjoyed the little snacks they left us plus coffee pods were also provided if needed. The bed was very comfortable, the shower worked great & it was nice to grill a couple of our own meals while we were there. We had a great time on our Rail Explorers ride-highly recommend. We also did some hiking at Ledges State park & enjoyed an Easter Brunch at All Saints Cafe. It was nice to just sit on the back deck & listen to all the birds. We had rain one day but there were plenty of apps on the tv to binge watch a show. Instructions were simple & it was easy to check in with the door code. We had a great stay for our anniversary getaway!

Luxury perfect for work or play!

KathiRating, 5 stars1 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!
