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.

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.
Ww were in Iowa to meet our new grandbabies. Brett was very friendly and helpful. Quiet and peaceful place

The Home Place
Great location and beautifully decorated, everything worked well, and every detail thought of. Host was awesome and Winterset is a great place to visit. Great people and lots to see in the middle of farm country, but only 30 minutes from DSM airport - which most airlines serve. Walk only 2 blocks to downtown with lots to see and parks nearby. Beautiful place, check it out!!

Victoria's House at Rose Farm
Kerri was the perfect host and house was amazing. Beds were so comfy

Dream Kitchen In The Country•Large Private Acreage
This was an excellent place for my family and I to enjoy Thanksgiving together. It was very peaceful and scenic; we saw deer every morning and evening. We enjoyed having space to play games and enjoy meals...the kitchen really was a great social place!

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
Excellent stay & A+ hosts. The house is super close to great restaurants and breweries and is right off I-235 so super easy to get around. Steve and Angie were super communicative, helpful, flexible…everything was easy. The house is stocked with everything you could need. We had a great time and would stay again.

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.
