What a great place! Clean and spacious. All bedrooms are upstairs but not many to contend with. Side note- the bed in the yellow bedroom was a dream! Had a great sleep….

This was a perfect match for a family of 5 to rest our heads. Clean and cozy home. Minutes from our main attraction Adventureland. Nice to be right outside of the main city. Would recommend this place to stay again .

A truly unique Airbnb in a great neighborhood. This Lustron home is a lovely piece of US housing history and in such great condition with a twin home in gray next door. Witmer Park is close by for a peaceful walk. The home had great amenities. Easily our favorite Airbnb we have stayed in.

Elegant Home that's Fully Fenced and Pet Friendly

GregRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Anthony’s house is really nice and clean. Darn near spotless. He was very responsive when I messaged him. He said he was actively working to deal with the only issue I experienced regarding noise from a nearby property. It was a positive stay overall for me.

The Legacy Stone House

CindyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This little gem far exceeded our expectations. The hosts were great at communicating and very responsive. The cottage is so eloquently decorated, yet cozy enough to feel like home. It was close to town, but felt like country living. We absolutely feel in love with the charm of this place. We would highly recommend both the hosts and the property! Thank you!!

Classy Spacious | NintendoSwitch | King bed

KristinRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was one of my favorite AirBNB’s that we’ve stayed in, it felt very safe and cozy. The location is great, my 8 year old and I walked from here to shopping and dining (roughly 2-5 miles round trip for walking) every day. We sadly didn’t get to use the pool due to weather, but we did check it out and it’s a good size and clean. You couldn’t ask for much more!

The Estate

ShannonRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Thank you for the great set up in your home for a fun filled family long weekend while we celebrated our son’s graduation. The home had a very large open floor plan which made for a great set up for our large family. They loved the huge sun porch with table and chairs, large backyard, hot tub, pool and we had a fire every night at the fire pit with s’mores. The home is clean and maintained well and it was easy to communicate with Hannah. Thanks so much for the great Airbnb!

We came to town for the Redbull soapbox derby and it was a nice quiet convenient place to come back to and relax. The pool, yard games and hot tub were nice for the young adults with us.

Summer House DSM

CaitlinRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Beautiful and comfortable home! This house is a delight with lots of charming details and amenities. The house offers plenty of square footage with multi-use rooms and spaces throughout. The pool was beautiful, clean, and so much fun. We were in town to visit our son for his college graduation from Drake University. This home made the weekend even better for our family to celebrate the occasion. The location is close to everything and the neighborhood is historic and beautiful. We would highly recommend this home to anyone staying in the Des Moines area.

Ames Countryside Oasis

HeatherRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was a phenomenal property! I wasn't sure before booking, due to the shared space aspect of the place, but it was not a problem at all. Even though the owners are on site (in the other, smaller house), they were unobtrusive. Jayden was very quick to respond to messages, and she was flexible with our requests. The space itself is a dream. The pool, hot tub, and fire pit are amazing. We also loved the amount of bathrooms and bedrooms on property. We had 9 guests in our group, but we never felt crammed at all. It was a spectacular stay all around!

Graceland Acreage w/ Party Barn!

KiyaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Colby’s Instructions were very helpful and clearly written it’s obvious he is very experienced. The house was beautiful plenty of space to sit, sleep, and eat and in a quiet spot. The amenities were great having a dumpster there was very helpful multiple fridges and plenty of parking. The barn was very cool my guests were not expecting anything like that, we all had a lot of fun and had no problems keeping the place clean and following the rules.
