Getaway on Grand King Bed

HollyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Eon's place is even better than the photos. One thing we like but dont think about much is having a TV in the bedrooms, in addition to the main living area. Eon's place has those kind of convenient extras that make it a warm and welcoming place. It was also nice to have parking so close to the entrance! The beds were comfy; I kinda felt like Goldilocks, deciding what bed would be most comfortable...only they all were comfy! It was also nice to have a variety of treats on the table upon arriving. Thanks, Eon! Your Airbnb is perfect!

A modern kitchen island is showcased with a sleek countertop. A small succulent and a vase with greenery sit on the surface, accompanied by two white plates and bowls. Natural light filters through large windows, creating a bright and airy ambiance.

Luxury 2 Bed/2 Bath Condo

ScottRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

It was everything that I could have asked for. The town is great and everything is walkable. Everyone that I met was amazingly friendly. The apartment was very clean and new. The closets were huge. The only downside that I ran into is lack of a dresser. There is a space for that type of clothing, but it is limited. The view is one of a kind and I can't think of anything that they didn't think of from coffee, to filters and all kitchen amenities that you could ever ask for.

A covered porch area is visible, featuring white railings and pillars. The view captures a quiet neighborhood street lined with homes, greenery, and sidewalks under a clear blue sky. The layout suggests a tranquil ambiance with ample outdoor space.

•5 bedroom 2 full bath stay in Paradise King bed•

LeslieRating, 5 stars2 days ago

We were very happy with this house and would definitely book again. I also appreciated the host’s timely communications. We didn’t cook so I can’t comment on kitchen utensils but dishes and coffee pot were clean as well as bathrooms and beds. This is a nice house in a good neighborhood and you are close to everything you need.

Woodland Heights hist. district house on the hill.

CharleneRating, 5 stars3 days ago

We loved staying here! The neighborhood was very nice and homey. We walked each day down a block to get coffee and had dinner nearby as well and walked home around 10 pm, felt completely safe even with just myself and a friend. The space is perfect for a weekend getaway and easy to get to the local attractions. Highly recommend!

Inspiring & Calm Elevated Scenic View

DiamondRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

I stayed at Midwest’s Airbnb as transitioning housing until I found something more semi-permanent as a traveling healthcare worker. It was such a relief (after walking through other properties in Des Moines) to come across this place in West Des Moines! It was clean, spacious, in a fantastic location, and wonderful communication and hospitality given by the host. The deck and garage are an added bonus. Extremely safe location with easy access to downtown. I will definitely be staying again when my family visits!

Relaxing galaxy bell tent getaway

BrittneyRating, 5 stars1 day ago

This was the most relaxing getaway! The bell tent is absolutely beautiful and their land is so fun to explore. We had the best night sitting around the fire, making s’mores, and ending the night in the hot tub! The bed was extremely comfortable and we had the best nights sleep listening to the peaceful nature sounds.

Quiet Country home, nature & fishing -5min to city

TimiRating, 5 stars6 months ago

We stayed here for my son's wedding. Very peaceful, private, and comfortable. Husband saw otters in the pond while walking the dogs! Deer in the yard both mornings. Comfy beds and lots of games if you have time for that which we did not unfortunately. I would highly recommend staying here! It is a very short trip to The Hive wedding venue too! Thank you for a great stay!

Cozy, comfy, and quiet! This little cottage had everything we needed and wanted. Beautifully restored, with all the modern amenities. The neighborhood was so peaceful and lovely.
