Great house, great location for the mall

We stayed here because we were vendors at a local event happening at Merle Hay Mall. The location is amazing—very close to Merle Hay.House was well-kempt and clean. We had a brief issue with the access code not working, but we contacted the owner and she resolved it quickly, so top marks for good communication.I would stay here again.

Gotta spend the weekend with my three daughters we went and did some stuff and then came back at night. The only downfall is the furniture is not comfortable and there’s only one TV.

Charming home in quiet neighborhood

I was in Des Moines for a week for appointments with my son. I stayed for 5 nights. I had my 5 year old and 8 year old with me. The house was a perfect size for us. The kitchen had all the tools I needed for making meals. The beds are the foam temperpedic type. A bit too firm for me but that it a personal preference. The kids slept great on it. The rooms have black out curtains which is one reason I chose this house. So many houses have no curtains or thin ones. I need dark when I sleep! The kids enjoyed the play fort and swings. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. It was close to grocery stores. I looked at many properties in Des Moines area before choosing this house. It had more charm and a yard.

Foam beds

We enjoyed everything about our stay. Cute house. Nice quiet dead end street with very quick and easy access to main roads. Our only complaints were the foam mattresses only because we are seniors and they are so difficult to turn over in. Thank you Ali for your quick responses ! FYI: don’t lock the door from the inside when you leave. Only lock the door with the combination the same way you unlock it. Blessings. Marcia

Fantastic Stay

The place was absolutely perfect, very clean and on a quiet street. The only thing was the Internet wasn't really working nor could we get the TV to work, but it wasn't necessary for our stay. Just something I thought we would mention to have looked at!

What makes this property unique

Really quiet street yet it's close to so much! Sleeping… Get a good nights sleep with a plush mattress, luxurious bedding, black-out curtains and a white noise machine. The two bedrooms have closets for hanging and folded clothes. The living room sofa-bed is the third queen bed and is also designed for maximum comfort. Eating… Cook memorable meals in the fully supplied kitchen. We provide basic spices, along with all the standard appliances, baking and cookware. Simply show up with your groceries and enjoy! The eat-in kitchen table is a cozy space to enjoy your peaceful morning coffee, or for 4-6 people to come together for games or a good meal. Four dining chairs PLUS two comfortable fold-out-chairs, make for intimate experiences you’ll be talking about for years to come. Morning/Evening Rituals… The small bathroom has everything you need, including a hot shower and soaking tub, hairdryer, storage for personal items, and plush towels. The masterbedroom desk doubles as a vanity space with great natural light and the 2nd bedroom has a full length mirror, so everyone can get ready at the same time. Amenities… While the unfinished basement isn’t where you’ll want spend most of your time, it does feature a newer, clean washer and dryer for your laundry needs while traveling. Sprawl out in the stylish livingroom, connect to your favorite TV apps on Roku, enjoy the board games, or read a book! Parking… The right-lane of the shared driveway is all yours (fits 3 vehicles front-to-back) and additional street parking is available just steps from away on this quiet cul-de-sac street. The garage is reserved for owners but can be made available for guests staying 2+ weeks.
