Vacation rentals with lake access in Polk County

Our stay over Easter was wonderful. Abby was super helpful and always responded quickly. The home was as pictured. Very open space, which was great for our family to be able to socialize and play. We travel with a service dog. The fenced in backyard was wonderful! It was great to be able to let our Pup play when he wasn’t working. Abby even provided bags for clean up. There was plenty of space and plenty of parking. Being able to park in the garage was an added bonus, as it rained all week. We will stay here again when we are visiting family!

What a lovely place! We enjoyed all the pirate details and the amenities!

I stayed here for 2 months and felt right at home! The place was clean and quiet, I was able to come and go with ease, and I felt very safe. The neighborhood was peaceful and lovely! I would highly recommend giving this place a try!

Very nice place and would stay again. Hosts were on top of everything we needed

This was the perfect place for our family during our recent visit to Des Moines. The location was perfect for us and we loved how peaceful the “neighborhood” was and the huge yard for our young boys. The home was super clean and had everything we needed. Patricia was a fantastic host making us feel welcome and at home. We appreciated her communication with us- from instructions to providing age-appropriate toys for our young boys. We definitely recommend this place and look forward to staying here again.

We really liked your house and above all it is very close to the church to which we belong and we would like that every time we travel there we can stay at your house

My wife and I stayed at Eily's place for a week, and it was well worth it. This spacious getaway retreat was just what we needed for both work and relaxation. It's a well-appointed, private escape that's just minutes from high-end restaurants in one direction and Saylorville Lake in the other. Floor-to-ceiling windows, HUGE plants, wood flooring, excellent design, and styling - this just felt like home away from home. We were able to relax by the fire and watch movies, utilize the standing desk for work, cook salmon and other great meals in the kitchen, have many great night's rest, and more. Eily was very courteous, responsive, and generous. We would rent from her again in a heartbeat. GREAT host. P.S. - We chose this place over any other options in Ames and Des Moines because it was just what we were looking for.

House was clean and as described. We were in town for a wedding and just needed a place change and sleep for the night, this was just what we needed. Allowed us to check in an hour early, we were very grateful.
