Good not great

Overall stay was good! What we first walked into though was…not good. The house was a complete mess with dirty laundry and wet towels laying around, plugged sink and dirty dishes. Reached out to owner who sent cleaner over but we had arrived and then had to leave for a couple hours for the cleaners to come and clean the whole house. Communicating was good and it was taken care of but a little frustrating to first walk into and then have to leave right away. Otherwise things were pretty good

Not up to standards

I hate leaving this review, but this was the filthiest place I’ve ever rented. We even left a night early because it was so gross. The tile on the kitchen floor was permanently stained, smudges all over the appliances, oven was very dirty, torn paper liners in cabinets, one piece of food stuck in sink drain, old sponges in sink, etc. The upstairs bathroom was remodeled poorly with dirt and mold on the floor and floor trim. House vents were covered with dust. Lots of stains on carpeting. Poor interior paint job on walls and trim with lots of wear and tear. Exterior paint peeling on entire side of house. The place feels like one do it yourself, first time short-term rental with work done by owner or friends, but not professionals. On a positive note, communication with the property manager was good. He was responsive and helped me repeatedly get inside as I had issues with the locking device.

Des Moines Weekend

Overall it was a good experience. Upon our arrival we found: air conditioning was turned on with 2 windows open, dirty towels in the laundry room, only one coffee pod left, dirty dishes in the dishwasher, supply closet door was open and unlocked, no kitchen towels. The entry code supplied did not work, but the property manager rectified that situation. It was nice for our family gathering, but the patio furniture was dirty and the yard was not optimal for kids to play in .

Cozy short stay

We just needed a place to stay for a family funeral north of Des Moines. This place was located close to all the things we needed for our trip. A couple of things were missing, but our host quickly supplied those things. It was a very pleasant stay and would recommend to others!

Great place just needs a little work

Inside the house was nice and clean but the outside could use a little work. There was trash in the backyard which was taken care of by the owner once he was made aware of it. Also I found a pile of dog droppings mixed in the cedar chips which is not inviting. But it did have a working washer and dry plus plenty of room for my family. Plus we found wonderful frozen custard near by.

Easy Check In - Frequent Communication

Dan was a great host! He let me know when he or his team were coming to cut the grass, take care of outdoor trash etc The house was larger than I expected The street is a dead end street far from the highway so there is no road noise. The mattresses are firm

Good value for price.

Our children are now scattered from Lincoln NE to Iowa City IA so we decided to meet in a somewhat central location to celebrate the holidays. This home is nicely kept. Has 4 beds plus 2 large sectionals. The owner was very responsive.

Junior Olympics trip Success!

Our party of 8 had a great trip for Junior Olympics! The space was very clean, organized, and well equipped with everything we needed We had plenty of room for 5 adults a couple of very tall teens. Dan, the host was awesome! Very accommodating, easy to reach and helpful. The location was perfect as we were only a 10 minute drive from the YMCA and never experienced any issues with traffic or congested areas. Our group made great memories on this trip and will defiantly return for the next event!

Nice house in a safe environment.

We stayed overnight after weekend soccer and downtown gala. The house looks new with fresh decor and nice amenities from top to bottom. We enjoyed having two bathrooms, lots of tvs, as well as upstairs living room and downstairs family room. It was nice to have separate areas for adults and kids. Nice sized kitchen and dining table. We didn't use the washer/dryer but it was nice to know it was there if we needed it. Parking for two in the driveway but lots of street parking. The only downside was firm mattresses when I love plush. We reserve again.
