Peaceful Setting & Modern Style

Tim & Kelly (Katherine)Rating, 5 stars1 week ago
Lovely Airbnb! Extra amenities, very clean, cutely decorated, comfortable functional furniture, deer walked up into the back yard area in the early morning hours, peaceful neighborhood, home is attached but completely private on a dead end street, covered front porch with comfortable wicker cushioned furniture, we loved it and would stay again if returning to the area. There were 4 adults and 1 toddler and we had ample room. Thank you again 😊 for a lovely stay.

Comfy & Clean Family Home PacMan, back deck, toys!

LisaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
I had a wonderful stay at Brenda and Michael’s. The house is extremely comfortable, quiet, and peaceful. The neighborhood is charming and felt very safe. Brenda and Michael were excellent communicators and added many thoughtful details to the space, such as local recommendations, a clean Brita, easy WiFi instructions, and a sweet welcome note with snacks. It was a fantastic experience—100x better than staying in a hotel. Highly recommend!

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.

White Oak Hillside Oasis

JamesRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This home was perfect for our family to celebrate our daughter’s graduation from Drake University. Her sisters and partners were able to stay with us with room to spread out. The spacious, well appointed kitchen was perfect for food prep. The porch area was a great place to hang out and chat. We loved the color choices, decor, and fun furniture. We would stay here again in a minute and recommend Brandy’s place wholeheartedly!

I had a wonderful stay at Dallas’s Airbnb! From the start, Dallas was very responsive and answered all of my questions quickly and thoroughly, which made the booking process smooth and easy. The place itself was spotless and well-maintained, offering a comfortable and relaxing environment. I appreciated the attention to detail for the checkin and out process. I’d definitely recommend this Airbnb to others. Would love to stay again!

Peaceful Weekend in Waterbury

AmyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This stay in Waterbury was perfect! 9 minutes to downtown Des Moines and 6 minutes to Valley Junction. Photos were very accurate and the location was perfect. It’s was so cute! I would say it even looked better than the photos. One of the railings going up the outside stairs is pretty wobbly. Easy fix though! The place was clean and had anything we would need during our stay. Awesome place Eric! We would love to stay here again in the future!!!!

Triple Kings | Private Rooftop | Private Garage

ChrissyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The condo was amazing. Well furnished and comfortable beds. Lots of room to spread out. The rooftop area was pretty. The only negatives are that there is no front door…the only entrance is a steep garage. I’m not sure I knew that. Also, the k cup part of the coffee station was not working and the garbage disposal isn’t working.
