Vacation rentals in Van Meter

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!

Patricia’s place was very welcoming. We felt very safe and comfortable! Very friendly!

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.

house was great! we were in town for my daughter's wedding and our whole family had room to get ready and visit at the house! loved it!

Clean, comfortable and very stylish. Well-appointed with lots of nice little touches. Julie was very easy to communicate with, and we absolutely loved the location – private, in an interesting neighborhood, yet an easy commute to anyplace in the city. We loved this place and were thankful for the opportunity to stay here – it was perfect for us: we hope to be back!

We loved this cute little cabin and it had everything we needed! Chelsea & Jana were both very quick to respond to any questions we had. The cabin was very clean & it's in a private location just outside of town. We enjoyed the little snacks they left us plus coffee pods were also provided if needed. The bed was very comfortable, the shower worked great & it was nice to grill a couple of our own meals while we were there. We had a great time on our Rail Explorers ride-highly recommend. We also did some hiking at Ledges State park & enjoyed an Easter Brunch at All Saints Cafe. It was nice to just sit on the back deck & listen to all the birds. We had rain one day but there were plenty of apps on the tv to binge watch a show. Instructions were simple & it was easy to check in with the door code. We had a great stay for our anniversary getaway!

Absolutely stunning. The home itself is just immaculate in both craftsmanship and esthetic. Beautiful surroundings, so many comfy places to sit and relax. Had a great weekend away with old friends and it was the perfect spot to disconnect and catch up. We also chatted briefly with the host and he was super friendly and very helpful - he even offered a bundle of kindling and a lighter when he knew it’d be a perfect evening for a fire. Highly, highly recommend - we’ll be back!

Joe and Rachel were very friendly and great hosts! The cottage was clean and organized. They were very transparent with clear instructions and accommodations. They had nice suggestions of local spots to visit/check out. The visit was very relaxing and stress free, would love to visit again in the future!
