New Arrival Peaceful Comfort Calm & Private
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.

Comfortable and Spacious Five Bedroom Home
Wendy was helpful and we enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room and certainly a super host. Would always stay here if we were in the area.

New Arrival Bright Neat Nascent Neighborly Garage
Great location...close to food, shopping and the RecPlex. Townhouse was immaculate and exactly like the pictures. Quiet neighborhood. I would definitely stay again.

Travel Haven - 6 Beds, 5 BR, 3 Bath, Near I-35
We came to town for the Redbull soapbox derby and it was a nice quiet convenient place to come back to and relax. The pool, yard games and hot tub were nice for the young adults with us.

The Estate
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
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.

Graceland Acreage w/ Party Barn!
Colby’s Instructions were very helpful and clearly written it’s obvious he is very experienced. The house was beautiful plenty of space to sit, sleep, and eat and in a quiet spot. The amenities were great having a dumpster there was very helpful multiple fridges and plenty of parking. The barn was very cool my guests were not expecting anything like that, we all had a lot of fun and had no problems keeping the place clean and following the rules.

Your Summer Retreat Awaits! Pool & Hot Tub!
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.

The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Thanks for such a great stay, Summer! We'd definitely stay again.

Cozy Cute Bungalow
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!
