Perfect Weekend Getaway!

We drove up for a baseball game with family and rather all staying in separate hotel rooms we chose to get a house that could accamodate all of us! This house was the perfect fit for us! They even provided toys for our littles { 4, 2, 1, and infant} We truly loved it! Will definitely be visiting again!

Weekend in des moines

We enjoyed the location… everything was close and easy to get to. The house was spacious and comfortable, easy driveway parking and close access to restaurants, bike trails, and fun things to do. The host was awesome about responding quickly and made checking in and out very easy. The city of Des Moines was a really pleasant surprise for us. Loved seeing so many people outside walking, running, biking, and playing with their families.

Nice house

We enjoyed the house will definitely come back. We loved all the fun game option for us to play and how you had a good amount of items stocked for us. The backyard was so cute with the little bar would recommend a fire pit wld of made that area. Only issue we had was one of the TV upstairs wasnt working properly so they just watched movies. Will use again for iowa state fair.

Great experience

We took a weekend trip from Kansas City to Des Moines. There were seven adults and a toddler. The Capitol House was perfect. It was clean and there was plenty of room for all of us. The host was readily available if we had any questions. The house had all the basic necessities, plus quite a few extra amenities- such as tvs in each room with streaming services, lots of DVDs, children’s toys and a grill. Plus there were plenty of towels and toilet paper. We loved that there was a splash pad and playground literally across the street. It was perfect for my 3 year old grandniece to burn some energy. The house was super close proximity to downtown, but still located in a quiet neighborhood. 10/10 would recommend.

Lovely House

House was clean and had everything we needed. The area outside is a bit loud from traffic and the park but it was quite peaceful inside so didn’t bother us. Worked perfectly for what we needed.

A nice, clean home that was perfect for a girls night in. Location was great and I appreciated all the small touches (chargers, fans in all the rooms) that made for a great stay. Would stay again!
