WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO STAY.

This house is five star, Beautiful inside and out!!! The lake behind the house is so beautiful and my grandson enjoyed the geese in the yard waking up in the mornings. We would definitely stay at this place again. Now on to the host. She was very attentive. She was an ABSOLUTE ROCK STAR!!! Abby thanks for EVERYTHING and making our stay seamless.

Eclectic mid-century modern house with lots of space

We appreciated the space for our group of friends to chat and catch up after not seeing each other for years. We had just enough bedrooms for everyone to have their own and ample space to stretch out and make the house our home away from home for a weekend. The house did have a musty smell, but that didn't stop us from having a nice time.

Family vacation

Great home base for a quick family vacation. We loved the big picture windows overlooking the lake. The outdoor space was great for the kids to play. Fishing was fun for the kids!

Great, central location and super unique property!

We recently stayed at this property for our boys' basketball tournament. This house was central to several gym locations in the greater Des Moines area and worked great for three moms and three teenage sons. The boys enjoyed the pool table and even took the kayak for a spin on the little lake which is right in the backyard! Property manager was super quick to respond to any questions (which I didn't have many of, but they were quick on the one I did!) and we will definitely look to rent again when our teams are back in Des Moines.
