Great Host!

Sarah was beyond helpful and accommodating during our stay in town for a tournament. We’ll certainly be working with her the next time we come to Des Moines.

Family Christmas

We had four adults and one dog. The fenced in backyard was great for the dog. Location was great for walking or running. Also great for getting to downtown and Des Moines relatives.

Great home in nice neighborhood

Thank you for hosting us. I travel a lot with my kids wrestling tournaments and this home was perfect. The front room flows into the kitchen and allowed for great times.
