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.

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.

Cottage on Main | 3BR | Easy Access to I-80

KimRating, 5 stars5 days ago
We stopped in Van Meter on our trip to Colorado and had a lovely stay. Summer was very responsive and attentive and met all our needs. The house was clean and very welcoming. It's obviously well-cared for and had everything we needed for cooking and relaxing. Her kitchen things were very organized and we loved the character of the house. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Thanks for such a great stay, Summer! We'd definitely stay again.

Unique "Little Italy" Apartment

Faith MRating, 5 stars4 days ago
This is the second year that l have stayed at Greg's place. I appreciate his accommodating my little dog and being able to stay one night on my trip north. It's a nice bonus to having my car in his garage. My possessions are safe and then, I only have to unpack what I need. The back deck is lovely and leads into a pretty, highly decorated backyard. There are steps, but I am 67 and managed quite well. I recommend Greg as a host and his place as a good place to stay.

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.
