Gateway House

DanielleRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We loved staying at the Gateway House! Angela was very kind and responsive. The location was incredible- close to lots of things in Des Moines, but didn’t feel busy or unsafe. This was also the most baby-friendly place I’ve stayed! It was so wonderful to be able to leave toys, cribs, and high chairs at home. It was a relief to know it had everything we needed for our little one, even outdoor toys! We loved our stay and will definitely be back!

TeresaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

My daughter and I visited the Pella Tulip festival and wanted to extend our trip so we came here to see/hike the high trestle bridge & visit the arboretum. Renee’s place was great for our visit! Easy to find & get in, the place was super cozy and comfortable! Private outdoor space with the balcony was nice. The bathroom was clean and functional. The kitchen has everything we needed - a stove/oven with plenty of cookware, fridge & microwave, coffee maker, plenty of dishes. Beds were comfortable with good blankets and pillows. The only negative I found was that the keys were a little difficult to lock/unlock door. I would recommend and return!

Cozy Boho-Chic Downtown 2BD/2BR

TannerRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

When we checked in we had a quick concern with a slight odor, Dan was quick to respond and fixed it first thing in the morning. He was friendly and easy to work with. The unit itself was great, it was very secure with several areas where a key fob was required to access the floors, it was clean, and an overall great place. Very happy with Dan and the location.
