AbigailRating, 5 stars5 days ago

This is a cute little place!! My friends and I were doing a girls weekend and saw this place online. The place is decorated amazing (very cute for pictures!) The beds are super comfy and the hosts were very responsive when I had a question about something. They even had the cutest little glasses for cocktails/drinks. We would highly recommend :)

Remodeled Brick Home close to everything

TorriRating, 5 stars1 day ago

This is our group's second time staying at Scott's place the night before a big competition. We chose, and will keep coming back to, Scott's place because it's perfectly comfortable. The beds and bedding are heavenly, the house itself is cozy and easy to feel relaxed in, all amenities you'd need for a home away from home, GREAT location and quiet neighborhood. Scott is an EXCEPTIONAL host. He is responsive, flexible and very friendly. We will be back next year!

Cozy Historic Escape

NicoleRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

This home was perfect for what we needed for the weekend. Cute house in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced in back yard for our son's dogs. We had everything we needed. We would definitely go back and stay there again for another weekend visit with family.

Historic Home on 4 Acres - Hot Tub, Pool, Tiki Bar

AftonRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

A small group of ladies stayed for a weekend retreat. We had a wonderful stay—the house is HUGE! It kept going and going with plenty of rooms, beds, bathrooms, and spaces to hang out. It was equipped with everything we needed to relax, fellowship, and enjoy the time together. The decor, wallpaper, and style was beautiful. Emily has such an eye for interior design.

Sweet Cottage

ChristiRating, 5 stars4 weeks 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!
