MackenzieRating, 5 stars6 days ago

We absolutely loved our stay here! Beautiful, spacious, and clean home! Great place for us moms and preteens/teens to hangout headed toward a tournament. We were able to truly relax and enjoy. Scott was very responsive, friendly, and accommodating! Would love to stay again.

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.

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!

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

JuileRating, 5 stars2 weeks 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 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!

The house was the perfect place for our weekend wedding dress shopping getaway!

Beautiful natural tone modern decor throughout the house with cozy touches in every room that made it a very relaxing place to stay!

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!

Farmpond Hideaway

ChassiRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We had stayed here a couple of years ago for our daughter's birthday. This year we were thrilled to see it was available again! the only thing we were disappointed about was the construction of the boathouse which we weren't aware of until we got there. Otherwise it was a great overnight stay and will always recommend others to stay here!
