Long time friends
Myself, with my 2 longtime best friends, stayed 3 nights at the home, from the 13th to the 16th. We visited the Fair, enjoyed some shopping and a lot of time together. The house is welcoming, the reservation process and communication with the owner were hassle-free and prompt. It was very clean, spacious, comfortable. The location was easily accessible and very quiet. I would recommend staying here, 3 separate bedrooms and bathrooms offer a great deal of privacy and space.

The property was just as expected or a little more spacious in fact. Had all of the items that we needed and very clean. We were in town for the National Finals Rodeo at the Fairgrounds and was an easy commute.

It was a family “girls weekend “. We all had a fabulous time. It was an extremely hot and humid weekend and the house stayed nice and cool. Steve’s house is in a nice quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed watching all the wildlife meandering through the backyard.

Murder Mystery Party
We stayed here for a murder mystery party I threw for my husband's 30th birthday party. It was the perfect setting for this event. Plenty of space and a large fridge to hold all the food needed! It had gorgeous views and the windows in the living area were phenomenal! All in all, it exceeded my expectations for this event!

Our visit was a mix of funeral concert and family gathering. This property was so very accommodating with room for us all. So many activities just around the corner, but we felt so safe and tucked away. It was a incredible fall weekend. Great time to visit this area.

Great place for a family to stay close to state fairgrounds!
We came to town for a week for a cattle show at the state fairgrounds. We were super pleased with how easy it was to get to and from and anything we would need to stop for was conveniently along the way. House was super comfortable and spacious for our family. Also very private. Things that might just be helpful for a family to know if you're traveling with really little kids or older adults is that the main entrance is up a nice rock stair case. It wasn't an issue for our family but if my parents would have been along it wouldn't have worked out. If we ever find ourselves back in the area we will surely be looking to stay here again.

Remote but near town
We met my parents there for a long weekend. The yard in late May is more beautiful than the pictures show. So nice to sit outside on the porch and relax. Easy access to Des Moines and surrounding area; drove around Drake University where my Dad graduated 60 years ago. Great location with good restaurants nearby. Lots of new of new stores and development in the Altoona and Ankeny area. Not a bad drive up to Ames/Iowa State and Reiman Gardens either.

Great place to stay while hitting some of the local gold courses
Everything went well, the property has some quirks but plenty of space for everyone. I would like this place to get a grill, at least a nice charcoal one.

Sooo relaxing!
My brother, his wife and 17yr old shared this property with my husband and I for a quick visit to Iowa to see our parents. This lovely home will now be our forever meeting point to see mom and dad. It is so quiet and the location is perfect for a quick run to shops and back and forth to Des Moines. We even got treated to a big beautiful lightening storm that we watched from the amazing window views. Just perfect! Thank you so much for a great experience.

Country living feel with everything right down the road
What a great place. The house was plenty big enough that’s for sure. I was in town for work and found this gem. After work I could go there and unwind in complete silence. They have a really nice bar down the road that you can walk to and literally everything that you would need like a place to eat or shopping was right down the road. It was a perfect location and highly recommend for workers or a family that wants to get away and not be inconvenienced. I really enjoyed this work trip and will stay here again if I’m ever in the area.

Awesome stay per usual! Quiet location, great wildlife. Our host shoveled the walk for us during an Iowa snowstorm! This was more then expected as they had already allowed us to add a night at the beginning of the trip to beat the storm! Great stay.
