We were looking for house that was in a quiet area on the east side of Des Moines metro. This house was perfect. When the blizzard hit, we watched it from the large living room windows. Actually saw 15 deer cross the creek. Nice place to chill. Steve was great, responding to any messages we sent his way.

Great family stay!

This house is in a quiet location very close to Adventure Land and Walmart. The space was perfect for our 4 teens to spread out and do their own things. There’s a nice yard and patio space as well. We highly recommend this house for large family stays!

Tucktaway and AOK

Our visit was a mix of funeral concert and family gathering. This property was so very accommodating with room for us all. So many activities just around the corner, but we felt so safe and tucked away. It was a incredible fall weekend. Great time to visit this area.
