Comfortable and Spacious Five Bedroom Home
Beautiful large home was very clean and comfortable for our family stay. The grandkids enjoyed the pool! The kitchen was well stocked and had everything you need to prepare meals of any kind - including grilling. Would highly recommend this to groups/large families.

New Neat Nascent & Neighborly
Great location...close to food, shopping and the RecPlex. Townhouse was immaculate and exactly like the pictures. Quiet neighborhood. I would definitely stay again.

Travel Haven - 6 Beds, 5 BR, 3 Bath, Near I-35
Adams place was great! Comfortable and clean, with a spacious atmosphere.

The Estate
This place for our group perfectly. Plenty of space for all of us to fit comfortably. The garage set up with fun games, and all the TVs to be able to watch March madness was perfect for our group of guys. Really appreciate the hospitality

Pool Opens End of May! Book Summer Retreat Today!
A beautiful, spacious house great for all ages! We stayed in the offseason so did not have pool access but still enjoyed the hot tub, though we had warm weather and would have loved to have cushions on the patio furniture or access to get them out (we didn’t bother to ask for the day so no fault of the host!). Also so nice to have a fully fenced, private backyard for our kids and we really appreciated the pool being fenced separately/away from the patio. The main level is large and very cozy, with lots of seating options in the kitchen and living room and a nice half door to block the main entrance. Very appreciative of the games/toys for the kids; as well as starter essentials and pack and play/high chair. The trundle beds were so convenient and all beds were comfy with lots of pillows, the only “complaint” was that the steps/hall upstairs were pretty creaky but the sound machines helped. Overall a really great experience and would recommend and hope to be back!

The Capitol House-East Village/Downtown, King Bed
Very close to downtown/East Village. Good price, great wifi, accommodating host that communicated with us very well. Everything was clean, with plenty of AWESOME pillows! Loved the outdoor space in the back

Hot Tub Haven: Large Home with Game Room & Privacy
Able to locate easily, in nice neighborhood. Our group had a lot of fun, and the host was easy to communicate with!

Entire brick ranch in Ankeny two queen beds
My 9 year old son and I stayed at Ella's place as it was close to where my sister lives. When we walked in he said "this feels like it's our home". Talk about a welcoming, warm, cozy ambiance where you can sit and relax inside and watch a movie, or enjoy a glass of wine by the firepit in the backyard. The birds were singing in the morning when I sat outside with my fresh cup of coffee. It's a perfect escape close to an amazing bike trail, breweries, and restaurants. Pack the car and the bikes and go stay at Ella's place.

Comfy Beds • Washer/Dryer • Pet Friendly
Quiet neighborhood & the cozy home had the necessities we required. The hosts were friendly.

Cozy 4br Home - Close To Downtown!
Host was great to work with. House was as listed.

Cozy home with 4 bedroom in Urbandale
Thank you so much for an awesome stay! We'll definitely stay here again. The large fenced in backyard was a bonus for sure. Our little dogs loved being able to run around free without their leash.

Waukee Guest House - Close to everything in DSM
Unbelievable stay, with a 5 star Host and place. We were more than comfortable and Joseph went above and beyond our needs and even went over the top to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of. Awesome gift basket on our arrival and can’t say enough good things about him, the house and the stay. 100 percent coming back to this place when we come back later this year or early next.

Small town living with big city access.
This is my 3rd time staying here. Very clean Airbnb! Welcomes pets!

Victorian villa in the heart of Des Moines
I loved the feel of the home! Was able to accommodate my working schedule with a small office and a fully fenced in yard for the puppies! It had a lot of space for the dogs to roam and the hot tub was a wonderful amenity. David was super responsive and I felt right at home.

The Home Place
Second time we have stayed here and it is so great for our family. Fran and Howard are great hosts. We look forward to staying there again! Beautiful home.

Modern Farmhouse Getaway-Private, Spacious & Cozy
This was a great place for our long weekend getaway. It was close to the Covered Bridges and a few other things we were interested in doing. The house was very clean and bright and had everything we needed. We contacted Lindsy for one minor item and she responded quickly and took care of it immediately.

Trailside Inn - Whole House
The Trailside Inn is a fabulous addition to our AirBNB stays, conveniently located to nearby towns, great pricing and a huge space. This historic home has all of the amenities you could think of, it has plenty of rooms and space for a large group. Cup of Joy right next door is a fantastic coffee place that is convenient and affordable, check it out during your stay! The house was built in 1902 and has a ton of charm, my toddlers believe “someone else lives there” and saw “ghosts” which was a fun spooky addition to our stay 🤣. We would gladly come back when visiting the local towns again!

Gateway House
Angela’s place was perfect for our family’s spring break getaway. The house was spotless! Easy to find and check in. We appreciated the snacks, cereal and coffee. Our 5 year old appreciated the toys and books. There were some storms in the area when we were there. Angela sent us a message after the tornado sirens sounded to let us know that they can be for strong winds as well which helped us not worry.

Excellent Home in Perry
Newly constructed home in Perry with large sitting area for a whole family and very nice bedrooms. The bed in the master bedroom was particularly comfortable. Nice big kitchen area and well stocked and very good amenities. Loved that they had a Christmas tree as it gave it a warm feeling. Very convenient to everything in Perry. Highly recommend this house to other families.

Little Shouse On The Prairie
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!

Modern Ranch near Knapp Center, Stadium, Downtown
Everything was as expected, beds are nice and rooms were cozy. Would recommend!

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