KrisRating, 5 stars2 days ago

This is the cutest home. I had a really tough travel day, and the moment I walked into the place, all my troubles faded away. Rose and Jim were wonderful and I hope I can return and stay at this Airbnb again. 100% would recommend.

PamelaRating, 5 stars2 months ago

The home is very comfortable and located in a neighborhood with walking paths throughout. The kitchen was stocked with all the necessities and there were ample blankets and towels. Matt provided local recommendations and was very responsive and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and interactions with Matt and highly recommend this home.

Cozy Historic Escape

ChristineRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Jennifer's place was extremly clean and comfortable. The place is an older home with older home quirks, but nothing to detract from your stay and the photos listed here are true. The kitchen was modern and functional and the bath was updated. Its located on a very quiet street that we appreciated and one of the rare rentals that has functioning blockout curtains. We had an excellent stay.

Woodland Heights hist. district house on the hill.

TrinaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We really enjoyed our stay. This AIRBNB was spacious, inviting, comfortable, cute, and clean! This AIRBNB didn’t feel cramped or like it was just a tiny part of a house turned into an AIRBNB space. Instead it felt like a full, nice and roomy and spread out one-bedroom apartment. We had everything we needed to cook, relax, and enjoy our weekend away without our kids. Close proximity to downtown, restaurants, parks, and the bike paths we explored. Bed was very comfortable. Deck has lovely views towards downtown day and night. Parking space designated on property, so no need to worry about finding street parking or playing for parking. We would recommend Dillon’s place to anyone needing a place in/near Des Moines.

Cottage in Minburn

Kim's Kottage on the RRVT, in Minburn, IA.

JuileRating, 5 stars6 days ago

My husband and I stayed for several days. The home is clean, comfortable and organized. We didn’t cook there because we were mostly at our relative’s place for meals, but the kitchen seemed well equipped. The host was very responsive and helpful. The photos and descriptions are very accurate. We would stay again.

Inspiring & Calm Elevated Scenic View

DiamondRating, 5 stars2 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!

We absolutely loved this place! It is so unique and beautiful. We were absolutely obsessed with the design. It is also so spacious! It feels like it goes on forever. Loved the privacy from the backyard as well. Thank you so much for sharing your house!

This was the second or maybe third time I've stayed with Deb and it's always consistently exactly as billed. Whenever I need an Airbnb in DSM, I always look to see if Deb's space is available first. I would absolutely recommend the space and everything else that will come with staying with Deb.

Travel Haven - 6 Beds, 5 BR, 3 Bath, Near I-35

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 12 reviews3 weeks ago

We were in town for a weekend wedding at the end of March. The quantity of bedrooms and sleeping space was great for my large family. It was nice to be able to park in the garage also. The location was easy to find and convenient for all of our wedding activities. The value was excellent- staying at a hotel with my large family would have been much more expensive and not as much fun, as we could all be together comfortably in the house!

Tom's Retreat

Absolutely beautiful property and place! Was even better than I expected! Everything you could possibly need for your stay. Kitchen was fully stocked, bedrooms were more than cozy, bathrooms super clean, and extremely hospitable details everywhere. Jeannette was so responsive to my questions and very welcoming. Couldn't have picked a better place for my weekend getaway!

Great stay at Summer’s place! Very conveniently located off the interstate and an easy 15min drive to the RecPlex. Her home was very cute, clean and cozy with comfortable beds. We had a question for Summer and she responded quickly. I would recommend Summer's place.

Grimes Getaway with pool

5 out of 5 average rating, 25 reviews1 month ago

The house was beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. We had a large group in town for a wedding with many of us traveling from out of state. It was so nice to have the space we all could hang out without feeling like sardines. The bedrooms and beds were all large and comfortable. There were plenty of towels and everything we needed was already there for us. There was a lot of fun extras in the house and the game room was a huge hit with the kids! We LOVED it! Thank you!!

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

TimiRating, 5 stars5 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!

The Cozy Retreat

EvanRating, 5 stars1 week ago

I stayed here with my wife, her dad, and our baby. I felt safe leaving my wife and baby to work a late-night job with her dad. It’s in a safe neighborhood, and it’s close to downtown and other attractions. We would definitely stay here again on future visits!

Sweet Cottage

ChristiRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Julie is a fantastic host with a lovely house. This is our fourth stay with her on our regular trips to Des Moines. The house is well-appointed and cozy, and Julie is attentive and thoughtful without being overbearing. She has one of the best stocked kitchens I've seen, and she's generous with other comforts like spare toilet paper, kleenex boxes, and extra towels and blankets. It is clear when a host really cares about delivering a quality stay for their guests, and she is great!

Getaway on Grand King Bed

HollyRating, 5 stars1 week 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!
