3 days of family and fun!
This was a perfect place for my 2 siblings, their spouses, and my adult special needs nephew to stay for our cousin reunion and visit to the Iowa State Fair! The basement rec room is amazing! All appliances were in good working order and we loved using the new washer & dryer. The amenities left in the bathroom were more than you get in hotels. Towel quality and size were great. NO postage stamp size bath towels here! We grew up in Des Moines in the 50’s & 60’s so we felt very much at home here. Loved the seclusion and quiet of the location. Easy to get everywhere from here. Will DEFINITELY rebook for future family get togethers.

The home is set up, so there is plenty of space for everyone. There is an outdoor pool very close to the house which everyone enjoyed. The location is wonderful. It was close to tourist attractions and to grocery stores.

Disappointing isn't a strong enough word
This property is misrepresented as a 5 bedroom when it's really a 4. We weren't advised that the indoor pool was drained in the summer and we were unable to swim as it rained during our stay. We were also provided with the wrong access code for the house. It took 45 minutes and multiple attempts by me (phone calls, texts, and vrbo chat) and vrbo to get in touch with the host. We advised host of the misrepresentations of the bedrooms and amenities along with housekeeping deficiencies. The host did replace the filthy/unusable grill and a lightbulb, but adamantly insisted the housekeeping issues I tried to bring to his attention were fabricated despite photographic proof. He became condescending, erratic, and hostile in his messages to me, going so far as to blame me for my inability to contact him during check in. I didn't feel safe enough for my family to live out our stay so we checked out early. He refused any sort of compensation/refund. We have a case open with VRBO regarding this matter. He has since altered his listing to remove the misleading photo of the bunk room as well as changed some of the descriptions. However, still up and incorrect are the indoor pool, 6 toilets (there are only 4), and the ability to sleep 25 (maybe if people are okay sleeping on the floor). I could go on, but due to the character limits I’m left to leave it at that.

Perfect for large gatherings at a reasonable price!
The house was nice! It is an older house that has been remodeled. Obviously, like with any older house, there were some small issues but Steven took care of them immediately. Don't expect anything fancy, but for the price, it was great! The game room downstairs was awesome to keep kids entertained! We would definitely stay there again.

Good Times
We booked on short notice for family and friends attending a wedding. Check in was simple and easy. We arrived around 9PM and couldn’t find a remote for the living room TV. The house was perfect for us. The basement was the place to be…… table tennis, pool table and Golden Tee golf. There was always something to do. If we’re in the area again we will be reaching out.

The property manager was very obliging, let us check in early and was available if we needed anything. House was clean and comfortable. Did not use fireplace, appliances were older but worked. We did not see an ice maker, used the old fashion kind (trays). Property manager stopped in a few times.
