Close to Drake/Downtown - Filled With Amenities, Pet Friendly, Hot Tub, Theater!

Welcome to your cozy 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom getaway in the historic Beaverdale neighborhood of Des Moines, Iowa! Enjoy a movie night in our private theater, relax in the 6-person hot tub, and savor grilled delights on the Weber grill. Each custom bedroom offers ultimate comfort, while the outdoor oasis is perfect for gatherings. Quick highway access, quick trip to Drake University, and less than 10 minutes from downtown make this the ideal retreat for your Iowa adventure.

This is where luxury meets whimsy and relaxation reigns supreme! We've got more amenities than you can shake a selfie stick at, and we're ready to pamper you in style.

First up, prepare to soak your worries away in our heavenly 6-person hot tub. Whether you're a lone star or part of a galaxy of friends, this bubbling oasis is where relaxation gets cranked up to eleven. It's the perfect place to swap stories, stargaze, or just pretend you're in a giant, cozy cup of cosmic cocoa.

If you prefer a fireside chat, head over to our outdoor seating and dining area. Picture this: a flickering fire table casting a warm, inviting glow, an outdoor sectional couch that wraps you up like a hug from your favorite blanket, and a hammock swinging gently in the breeze. You'll wonder why you ever considered staying anywhere else.

Feeling a bit more adventurous? How about cozying up to our outdoor fireplace, where you'll find comfy Adirondack chairs waiting to cradle you as you sip your favorite beverage under the open sky. It's the perfect spot for marshmallow roasting or telling ghost stories that may or may not be entirely true.

But wait, there's more! For the movie buffs in the group, we've got a dedicated theater room where you can catch your favorite flicks. Plus, it doubles as extra sleeping space. It's a cinematic slumber party waiting to happen!

For those who need their caffeine fix, our coffee and tea bar is stocked to the brim with all your favorite brews. Need a pick-me-up or a calming cuppa? It's all here, ready to be savored in the morning sun or under the twinkling stars.

Our fully stocked kitchen is a foodie's dream come true. You'll find everything from utensils to pots and pans, a toaster, tea kettle, wine glasses, martini glasses, shot glasses, drink mixing tools, and even an ice maker for your frosty beverages. Cook up a feast fit for royalty, or just whip up some midnight snacks—it's all up to you!

And speaking of midnight, don't forget to spin some vinyl on our nostalgic record player. Choose your favorite tunes and let the music take you back in time as you groove to the classics.

Now, when it comes to rest, you've got choices. Sleep amongst the nebula and stars in the Moon Room or drift away in the serenity of the Mountain Room, each meticulously themed and filled with decor that will transport you to another world. In The Boho Room, you'll be greeted by the eclectic charm of bohemian decor. This cozy nook features a twin daybed with a trundle bed underneath, making it perfect for a solo traveler or a pair of friends looking for a whimsical and snug sleepover experience. And if you've ever wanted to channel your inner movie star, there's a vanity here just waiting for your close-up. It's the ideal spot to pamper yourself, fix your makeup, or simply indulge in a little self-care.

Disappointing Stay ~ Dirty & Poor Drainage Issues
I wasn’t planning to leave a review, but after the host specifically asked me to leave a five-star review for their “fabulous cleaning team,” I felt compelled to share our actual experience—one that was far from fabulous. The property looked adorable in the photos, but the reality was very disappointing: * Bedding was dirty, with hair (both human and animal) on all the sheets, on every bed. * The kitchen had smears of unidentified substances on the microwave buttons and fridge handles. * The backyard was so neglected, with a thick pile of leaves, that we didn’t feel safe letting our dog out, plus it was not secure for pets as they could escape out the side gate. * The bathroom was gross—the sink and tub drained so slowly that showers turned into standing in calf-deep water, all while enduring barely-there water pressure. Stepping out of the shower only made things worse, as the bathmat was covered in dog hair and what appeared to be dirt. The situation with the bathroom became such an inconvenience that we had to go to a family member’s house just so my children could take baths. While the host mentioned they were trying to get a plumber to come fix the issue, the plumber never showed up, leaving the problem unresolved for our entire stay. Although cute, this property was far from clean. Being asked by the host to leave a glowing review for a cleaning team that so clearly didn’t do their job was pure gaslighting. We do not recommend.

Very Accommodating Space
This was a great location to do many things in Des Moines. The space was perfect for 6 adult females to lounge and converse over the weekend. We spent most of our time on the deck, as we had a perfect weekend. I would highly recommend.

We had a bachelorette party here and it was perfect! There was a lot of dirt and dust on fans, etc like it hadnt been completely dusted in awhile but very minor detail and did not affect our stay at all!

Great place for kids/teens
A group of seven of us stayed for the national speech and debate association tournament. We were able to have our four students sleep in the basement and they loved that area. The decor was amazing. The house was very clean and Jesse was great to work with. We had a couple bumps on the road that we're not Jesse's fault but he communicated great and was a fantastic troubleshooter. it's clear that he's very customer oriented and wanted to keep us happy.

The best girls getaway!
The five of us stayed Thursday-Sunday for a girls getaway weekend. We didn’t have any plans other than just relaxing and catching up and this house was excellent for it! The beds and furniture are comfy and the theater room was so much fun! The back yard was adorable with lots of comfy seating!! That early fall weather was perfect to enjoy the fire table and hot tub. This is a nice halfway point for us and I’m sure we will be back!
