New Arrival Peaceful Comfort Calm & Private

AlexanderRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
I stay in a lot of airbnbs every year and I’d have to rank this as one of the best. Everything is clean, modern, and updated. Furniture is high quality. The beds are amazing. The neighborhood is also quiet and peaceful. I wish I lived at this Airbnb, my entire crew and myself loved it.

The Estate

ShannonRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Thank you for the great set up in your home for a fun filled family long weekend while we celebrated our son’s graduation. The home had a very large open floor plan which made for a great set up for our large family. They loved the huge sun porch with table and chairs, large backyard, hot tub, pool and we had a fire every night at the fire pit with s’mores. The home is clean and maintained well and it was easy to communicate with Hannah. Thanks so much for the great Airbnb!

Summer House DSM

CaitlinRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Beautiful and comfortable home! This house is a delight with lots of charming details and amenities. The house offers plenty of square footage with multi-use rooms and spaces throughout. The pool was beautiful, clean, and so much fun. We were in town to visit our son for his college graduation from Drake University. This home made the weekend even better for our family to celebrate the occasion. The location is close to everything and the neighborhood is historic and beautiful. We would highly recommend this home to anyone staying in the Des Moines area.

Your Summer Retreat Awaits! Pool & Hot Tub!

CourtneyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We really enjoyed the house. it was nice and spacious. Has a huge kitchen and living room. Living room furniture was very comfortable, kitchen was fully stocked and clean. A great space out back to sit and play cards, chat with friends, and the hot tub was great. Although we didn't get to swim in the pool because it was still being treated to open for the season, (we booked a week too early) it is definitely a nice pool with great pool furniture. The outside area is very private, surrounded by trees and my 4 yr old granddaughter loved the playground area. All in all, it is a great place to stay, it is located close to a Walmart, Dollar Tree, and pretty much any other stores you would want or need, also lots of different restaurants close by too. We would definitely consider again. The communication was very good and responses were quick.

We stopped in Van Meter on our trip to Colorado and had a lovely stay. Summer was very responsive and attentive and met all our needs. The house was clean and very welcoming. It's obviously well-cared for and had everything we needed for cooking and relaxing. Her kitchen things were very organized and we loved the character of the house. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Thanks for such a great stay, Summer! We'd definitely stay again.

Cozy Cute Bungalow

NykoleRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This little home was so perfect in every way. They had fun activities like board games and toys for kids. The kitchen was wonderful and had a few snacks in place, which was extremely thoughtful. We enjoyed the train going by (it wasn't very loud and passed by relatively quick). The bed was so comfy after a day of exploring Iowa! Overall, I really enjoyed our stay in Iowa. It felt like a like a perfect little home away from home. Now, I can't wait for us to come back to visit again!
