Spacious Ranch Home-5 BR, including 2 King Suites!

Looking for a spacious and comfortable home for your family or group? Look no further than this lovely property, with over 4000 square feet of living space that somehow still manages to feel cozy and serene. With five bedrooms and four bathrooms, this home has been thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of groups large and small. And with high quality furnishings, as well as an unwavering commitment to cleanliness, you can rest easy knowing that time spent in this home will be a delight.

The space
This spacious and thoughtfully designed property is a perfect choice for families or groups who want to forego a separate hotel situation and enjoy each other's company.

Let’s tour the space:
You’ll be greeted by a entry hall that leads to the main living room, dining room, and kitchen.

Looking for a little privacy? Head through the dining room and you'll find the first master suite, complete with a king-sized bed and a large bathroom. And don't worry about fighting over the TV - each bedroom in the home has its own television, so everyone can enjoy their favorite shows in peace.

Speaking of the kitchen, it's fully stocked with everything you need to make a family-sized meal, from nice appliances to pots and pans, utensils, and small appliances like a coffee pot, Keurig, espresso machine, blender, slow cooker, and toaster.

Just through the kitchen, you'll find a full-size washer and dryer conveniently tucked away in their own little cove. And on the other side of the kitchen, there's a second living room.

As you continue through the south wing of the home, you'll find the second master suite, complete with a king bed and attached bathroom. And for the kids or additional guests, there are two more bedrooms that share a bathroom - one with a queen bed, and the other with a twin bunk bed. There is a pack n play and two floor mattresses stored in a closet that can be moved anywhere in the house.

Don’t stop upstairs! In the massive third living area you will find yet another area for your group to create memories. Comfortable sofas, additional dining/game table, ping pong table, dart board and space to run.

On the far end of the basement, you’ll find the fourth full size bathroom and the fifth bedroom! This bedroom has 1 queen bed and 2 twin beds.

The basement also houses a pullout sofa and plenty of floor space if you’d like to bring the two twin floor mattresses downstairs.

We couldn’t be more excited about inviting your family/group into our home. We’ve stayed here ourselves with 19 people and some very loud teens and everyone had plenty of room.

Guest access
When you book this stunning property, you'll have access to the house and yard, giving you plenty of space to relax and unwind with your family or group. And with a driveway that can easily hold up to six cars, as well as additional free street parking, you'll never have to worry about finding a place to park.

Please note that there are two locked closets that hold cleaning supplies and extra linens, ensuring that your stay in this beautiful home is always clean and comfortable.
During your stay at this holiday home, you'll be close to Merle Hay Mall. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the holiday home.

Best stay ever
My company came to Iowa because we had a booth at the farm progress show. We chose this amazing home because it was going to be five of us coming. We could have not asked for a better place to stay. We were able to get together at the end of each day and talk about strategy for our next day. The house was very clean, plenty of room, and included everything we needed. The host was exceptional. When we come back to Iowa, we will be staying here again!

We had 9 of us stay at this VRBO. The rooms were great and there was plenty of space for us all. We were able to stay for 5 days and found the neighborhood quiet and close enough to all of our destinations.

Excellent!
These hosts understand excellence in rentals. They thought of every single detail, and more. We found it to be perfect in every way, for our family ages of 1 to 75, while in town for our daughter’s wedding. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure that my wedding baking tasks would be as easy as possible. The home is tastefully decorated, spacious, comfortable, spotless, and conveniently located. We would all highly recommend!

Wonderful!
The home was perfect! Very clean and well-maintained in a nice, quiet neighborhood. We only had 9 of us but there was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space while also allowing us to spend of time together as a group. Plenty to do for all ages. Tanya was very quick to respond to some minor issues that came up with the home!

Amazing home!
I have rented homes for 30 years and this home ranks in the top 3 we have ever stayed in. The owner was very responsive to questions. The house is SO spacious. We were in town for the wedding of my daughter and the family stayed here. There was plenty of room and very comfortable for everyone. It is easy to find and conveniently located. We had a wonderful stay. I highly recommend this home!

phenomenal stay
This was the perfect place for our family and friends to stay for state wrestling in Des Moines! The basement is huge and we loved the ping pong table, huge sectional couch and pull out couch bed. Plenty of bathrooms with everything needed and we used the kitchen to cook two meals everyday. Nice living room and the dining room table was our hangout spot for cards and laughing! Will definitely book again.

Excellent...perfect for our large family.
What a wonderful property this was. The layout was excellent for a large group with the multiple living spaces, bedrooms and 2 KING suites. The furnishings were modern and comfortable and the decor was top notch. We loved everything about the property, included the nice surprise of a little extra space made available at the last minute. We enjoyed the state of art kitchen and spent every night eating at the massive dining room table and playing one of the many games provided for entertainment. We had a large part of our family with us to see our son graduate from Drake and this house was in the ideal location. Just far enough away to avoid the madness of campus on a very busy weekend of moving out and mutliple graduations, and just close enough to be a very quick and easy (interstate free) commute to the University. We loved it and are very thankful that out of the many options on the area, we chose the perfect one for us.

Beautiful Home & Great Layout
Beautifully remodeled property with great layout! Having two king-bedroom suites a huge plus. Generously sized bedrooms and plenty of common living space to hang and relax. The home was conveniently located in nice neighborhood with a short 10-15-minute commute to downtown. Host was great with communicating pertinent details and providing extra touches in the home. Would highly recommend!
