Then six years ago I created my first vacation rental property, and it grew from there. I offer vacation rentals because it's fun! Making sure groups are set up to have a blast is a challenge that I find very rewarding. I take this seriously. Being a big kid at heart, I make it my mission to deliver the fun for kids- also being one who appreciates nice things, I deliver comfort and attention to detail for the adults. I truly desire for you to have the most fun and relaxation as possible, and with the fewest hassles as well. That is why we put in so much effort before you get there. We provide and offer many things that set us apart. Things like super comfy beds, awesome fluffy towels, mints, coffee, toothpaste and toothbrushes, luxurious body care products, personal care products, make-up removing towelettes, and others as well. I hope to get to take care of you and your crew soon! May you have and awesome trip wherever you stay...and may God bless you. Sincerely ~Steven

- "This was a great stay, the game room was fabulous and everyone loved to play games, talk, and visit. I especially like the kitchen and we weren't lacking with any convenience." - "We had a teenager birthday party and they had a lot of fun. The only drawback was the game room is in the garage which didn’t have air conditioning so it was pretty hot in there. Otherwise it was fantastic, plenty of room for the kids to be loud on the main level while the adults could still sleep peacefully upstairs"

- "We recently stayed at this property for our boys' basketball tournament. This house was central to several gym locations in the greater Des Moines area and worked great for three moms and three teenage sons. The boys enjoyed the pool table and even took the kayak for a spin on the little lake which is right in the backyard! Property manager was super quick to respond to any questions (which I didn't have many of, but they were quick on the one I did!) and we will definitely look to rent again when our teams are back in Des Moines."

Wow... hard to find 9 bedroom home on a intown acreage within city limits but very private and relaxing. The property is the best of both worlds …. even though it is on 3 acres (parking for 20 cars and many trailers) is close to everything including grocery stores, coffee places and drug stores and fast food plus many restaurants.

This house has both old world charm with the original part of the house and new modern features with the huge addition giving you so much living space including a gigantic living room measuring 28 x32 with a HUGE 85 inch TV...Wow… talk about a fantastic place for family holidays ( perfect for Wedding or Christmas gift opening) or family reunions, anniversary or birthday parties or wedding parties … or even company functions needing a large meeting room for office meetings.

This is not only Great for large families but contractors and work crews in town who want own bed in their own bedrooms. 15 beds in 9 bedrooms and we can add more beds if needed. Can sleep 24 people on beds plus another 6 people on couches or floor space for air mattresses.

This awesome home recently went through a $120,000 remodel job with 3 of the 4 bathrooms being remodeled but all have a shower making it a total of 4 showers in the house. You also must see pictures of the remodeled spacious kitchen with newer appliances and new quartz countertops and quartz also on the "L" Shaped Island. In the original part of the house you will find a FORMER living room with fireplace that was transformed into a 1st floor master bedroom and curved archways that are sealed off with Barn Doors for privacy. The formal dining room has a huge round dining table and the kitchen has extra seating with stools that pull up to the island bar like counter. This house has 2 bedrooms and one bath on the main level and 7 bedrooms and 3 more bathrooms on the 2nd floor plus laundry in the huge hallway bathroom... basement has a 2nd set of washer and dryer.

Outside you will have an above ground pool and a large sitting compacity for a newly constructed a fire pit area and a nice deck to grill on.

Message me for more details as this house has so many features too numerous to list or explain. This Home is Hosted by Seth & Brooklynn as on site property management for immediate response to your needs.

- "Great location for our crew and proximity to the job site. Jody was a wonderful host and communication was with him was effortless. House had all amenities that we needed. There was enough room for everyone. " - "Owners were super friendly and helpful! House was much better than we expected! Would recommend to anyone!" - "We had 20 family members for the weekend. First, we had a wonderful time. We found lots to do. The fire pit was GREAT and the bean bag toss game a big hit. We played 4 square on the driveway. The beds were comfortable and there were almost enough places to eat all together. The wifi was good and the living room was a super place where we could all hang out. The property is in a lovely location and lots of green grass all around. Some kitchen items need updating/replacing/adding to. Lots of linens and towels were provided. Would encourage a printed guide to the property and amenities."

- "It was a great stay! No issues!" - "Spent the holidays there. Nice and small property." - "I had an awful experience. I booked and paid but was told that they double booked me. I ended up being given a rental other than what I booked. It was dirty, blinds were broken, the closet doors were broken. One was literally just leaned against the wall. Another one fell down and hit me. The batteries in the smoke detector needed to be changed so the thing chirped all night. The trash bins were full. Toilet paper wasnt stocked and there was no wifi. They kept saying they were going to fix the wifi but it did not work at all during my 7 day stay. Horrible. I do not recommend this property/owner. Avoid this VRBO "

The home has been recently remodeled with $85,000 budget to give you one gigantic living room with a 85 inch tv and on other half of the room has a ping pong table and video game. This LR opens up to beautiful remodeled kitchen with a L-shaped island with quartz counters. The setting on 3 acres invites deer to visit often & the fire pit is a nice feature too.
