The space to gather at this house is exceptional. A large kitchen, outdoor space, living room, and family room all are cozy and well furnished areas to hang out, cook a meal, or watch the Olympics...which is what we did on the amazingly large TVs! The only slight ding on this property and thing for you to do is to make sure that you know that there are just 3 bedrooms, one of them has a king size bed and bunk beds in it. The other has a queen, and the last has a king. Make sure that space will fit for those who are coming to enjoy this home. We will certainly stay again when we are in the Des Moines area!
