Sweet Cottage near Downtown DSM

AnnaRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Veena is a great host, she responded quickly and was very helpful. The home was clean and neat and had everything we needed. This home can accommodate a large group easily, with 7 adults it didn’t feel like we were ever fighting for space. We stayed during the Des Moines marathon. Between the deck space, the spacious upstairs, and the living spaces there was more than enough room to come together or separate and relax. The house is located just outside of downtown and there is a grocery store close by. We were fortunate to be able to eat home cooked meals for most of our time there thanks to all of the amenities. We brought a propane tank to use the grill one night and cooked up many meals in advance. This is a great choice for families or groups!

Cheerful 4 bed home across the Iowa Fairgrounds

KrystleRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We stayed here for a cheer competition at the fairgrounds. It worked out perfectly to not fight the parking lots and were able to walk across the street! It was a great location and close by to things we are interested in. House was well kept, nice and clean! The neighbors were very friendly as well. Thanks for the great stay!

Little Shouse On The Prairie

LauraRating, 5 stars5 months ago
What a beautiful welcoming home. This place was fantastic! The location was ideal and everything we needed to have the best Thanksgiving. We loved all of the space and privacy this lot had and the dogs loved it too! I come across a lot of places that seem to be missing the necessities you need for a comfortable stay, but this place has everything you could ever need. Thank you all for being great hosts!

Tiny(s) House | Cozy 2Bed, 1Bath

DanielRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Stayed a week for the State Fair. Very clean, well stocked and mostly new/renovated. Beds were comfy. One was considerably low to the floor, about 8”, a little tuff getting up & down. The driveway and street is narrow. Neighbors parked on street made backing out difficult with large truck. Disappointed with the screened in back patio. It was uncharacteristically dirty with leaves and debris. Washer & dryer in basement, well lit and very clean. WiFi worked great. Plenty of hot water. We would stay again.

NEW! Fairgrounds Bungalow & Vintage Camper Retreat

JesseRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We enjoyed our weekend at Alyson’s home! The backyard was large with a wonderful fence perfect for our pup to run around, and the basket of toys and treats for him were a nice touch. The home is just as pictured. We really liked the game options and shed as well as the multiple TVs with smart capabilities. We would definitely stay here again if back in Des Moines!
