HeidiRating, 5 stars3 days ago
We met here for a girls trip-my 5 daughters and I. The house was great to spend time together and the hot tub was sweet and private. Matt was a great host and very friendly with quick response time. We would definitely return to this house or one of their other houses.

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.

West Des Moines modern mansion!

ErinRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We rented the main house and the guest house and our stay was fantastic. If you are looking for a property where you and your friends/family can have a great time without having to leave the house this is it! Robert was easy to get in touch with whenever we had questions and everything was as described. We really enjoyed hanging out by the pool and cooking in the high tech kitchen. If we come back to this area we will definitely be renting this house again!

The Estate

TaleenaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
This was a great space for our Family Christmas. We had a large group to accommodate (12 adults and 3 kids). There was plenty of space for us all to be together, space to separate when needed and private sleeping arrangements. Something I felt was understated in the description was the walking trails that meander through the neighborhood and are accessible from the backyard. We had a couple days of nice weather and enjoyed really peaceful walks with a couple of playgrounds to stop and let the kids play.

TimiRating, 5 stars3 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!

Saylorvilla ~ Tesla Charger

EricaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I really loved this Airbnb!! I can see why it’s so highly rated. It’s so homey and comfortable, great for groups! Bringing our pups was a huge plus. Most dog friendly Airbnb’s aren’t that great but Jen’s place was perfect and spotless. The neighborhood was very safe and a great place to walk the dogs! We would definitely stay again!

If I could give more stars I would. Danielle and Tom are exceptional hosts! So many sweet and unexpected extras. We were looking for the perfect place for a Sisters/Mom weekend and we found it. Our 89 year old mom kept saying, this place is so wonderful! We look forward to booking here again. *****+

We absolutely loved our stay! Trisha was very responsive and even accommodated our early check-in request! We were immediately impressed with the cleanliness of the home, how spacious it was, and how at-home we felt. Not to mention they even had the home nice and warm for us -their Iowa winters are COLD! We would absolutely refer Trisha’s Airbnb! Thank you for sharing your gorgeous home with us. 🥰
