Sweet Cottage near Downtown DSM
Veena is a great host, she responded quickly and was very helpful. The home was clean and neat and had everything we needed. This home can accommodate a large group easily, with 7 adults it didn’t feel like we were ever fighting for space. We stayed during the Des Moines marathon. Between the deck space, the spacious upstairs, and the living spaces there was more than enough room to come together or separate and relax. The house is located just outside of downtown and there is a grocery store close by. We were fortunate to be able to eat home cooked meals for most of our time there thanks to all of the amenities. We brought a propane tank to use the grill one night and cooked up many meals in advance. This is a great choice for families or groups!

Family Friendly Home Close to Airport and Downtown
Overall great stay and great communication! Would stay there again!

Gateway House
This property was perfect. Angela and Steve have out done themselves. This is the best stocked kitchen I’ve seen in an AIRBNB. The colors of the home were welcoming and cozy. Clean, comfy, and quaint. Thank you for having us a guests.

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!

5 Min to Adventureland and Casino - Fenced in yard
While my visit was brief (just 1 night to rest while on the road), Tyler’s home was comfortable and quiet. It was a great place to kick up my feet with my dog.

King & Queen Ground Floor End Unit w/Amenities
I totally enjoyed my stay with Midwest Hospitality. I immediately felt right at home. I was in close proximity to restaurants, grocery stores and shopping. The service was excellent. I had a small issue which they came and promptly handled. The staff was always courteous and got back to me quickly.

Joshua's Northland Bungalow
Two of us in town for a memorial service and gathering of friends. The place was great-perfect size-two bedrooms worked for us perfectly-cute place. Minor point is a bathroom typical of these little homes, with a toilet literally right next to the tub/shower with only an inch or two to spare on the sides-made for some interesting "negotiating!" But as I said, this is minor. Shower great! Located in a great neighborhood, peaceful, safe to walk, close to a mall and restaurants etc. Be aware there is a basement tenant- took us by surprise but that was because we didn't read the description fully! They were super quiet and we barely knew anyone else was there. Their apartment is separate from the unit. Definitely recommend the place and Josh was quick to respond to any questions we had. Great front porch for sitting and watching the world, lots of windows, good linens and towels, extra blankets, easy on street parking., Keurig, so very quiet-we would rent again in a heartbeat....

NEW! Fairgrounds Bungalow & Vintage Camper Retreat
Accurate listing, very nice place and close enough to downtown. Instructions for check in and checkout were clear and uncomplicated. Our stay fell on DST and the host was kindly flexible with our checkout. Highly recommend the host and location.

Love Shack: Spacious Family Retreat, 10min to DSM
We rented the Love Shack for my sisters 75th birthday. We had a total of 7 people stay at the house and there was plenty of room for all of us. We had a great time and the location was perfect. Tiffany was a great host!

Fenced Luxe Home
We had a girls weekend here. Was very comfortable, plenty of room and clean. Host was very responsive. Highly recommend.

A farm get-a-way
Molly was a great host and very helpful when we had questions and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable for our family. Her home was very clean, the furniture was really comfortable, and the home was on an active farm surrounded by beautiful and peaceful farm land. The home is also only about 10 minutes to Adel which has a cute little downtown area with several resturants and only about a half hour to the West end of Des Moines which had a lot of shopping and activity. It was a perfect stay for us.

The Norwood
Jane’s place is a solid choice. It’s a cute little house with ample parking and is close to groceries, gas, and restaurants and had everything we needed.

The Vintage Haven
The home had lots of character, very clean, and spacious. It was perfect to stay there with my family and still be able to have privacy within the home. The host communicated very well and was friendly with their responses!

Spacious Valley Junction Retreat
Derek’s Airbnb was a perfect place for our family. We were in Des Moines from Colorado with our dog for my mother in laws memorial service. It was very convenient for family to gather to be together after the service and the younger kids loved the game room downstairs. Beds and sheets were comfortable and the place was very clean. I especially liked the natural light in the kitchen with the big windows and skylight. Great fenced yard for the dog and easily walkable to Valley Junction and park for the dog as well. Slept 4 adults and one toddler quite comfortably. Derek was so quick to respond to any requests I had! I would highly recommend Derek’s home for comfort, convenience and price.
