Fun, group friendly house close to fair! Sleeps 8

Family, group & pet friendly-This place was designed with fun in mind!
From the twin-size porch swing to the games to the backyard hangout & playset.

2 blocks from the fair, Aldi’s 2 blocks away, easy to find, 3 miles to downtown, fully stocked kitchen, 4 beds & a couch.

We personally renovated this for the sole purpose of being an short term rental. Which means we put ALOT of thought into the details and maximizing space as well as opportunities for fun.

This is a cute space that we created with families/small groups in mind!

Kids are welcome, pets are welcome. We strive to provide you a place that feels homey, cozy, and cool.

Guest access
The entire house and spacious backyard are yours!

Other things to note
There is one bedroom (and couch) on the main level. The other 3 beds are downstairs. If this is a problem for you, please don’t book.

Great Time in Des Moines
My family loved this quaint little home. The main floor has one bedroom with a curtain for a door. The bed was very comfortable. I enjoyed starting my day and ending my day with a cup of coffee on the porch swing. My daughters (6 and 12) loved playing in the backyard and having their own area in the basement. Those beds were comfortable as well. They also enjoyed having their own TV with Netflix. I did see a prior comment mentioning the stairs. I know everyone is different, however, my husband and I are in our mid-40's and the stairs were fine. A little steeper than ours at home but this is an older home. The neighborhood is comprised of small older homes. We got a chance to meet the neighbors and they are very nice. The house is on a side street of a busier street but there was no road noise from inside the house and very little while on the porch. The location was central to everything we wanted to see and do. The owner was very responsive and even left a splash pad for my kids to play with due to the hot weather. Would definitely stay again.

Not as it seems
The owner was very good at communicating and very helpful. House was not quite as it seemed in the description. Basement bedrooms did not have egress window (major fire hazard). Had to through the bathroom to get to the basement. Very dangerous stairs even for able bodied 20 somethings and kids. (The stairs were mentioned in the description but were worse than expected). Bed upstairs comfy but sat very,very low to the floor making it difficult to get out of. Outside play area was ok, had to buy camp chairs as those provided were ripped out and unuseable. Neighborhood was not exactly family friendly (got to see the police in action a few doors down). Very cute decor and very well stocked for any of your needs. Front porch swing is awesome.

Thank you
The place was perfectly decorated and created a very cozy environment that is literally just 3 miles from HyVee Center. The house is located close to restaurants and a grocery store which made it really nice. We enjoyed playing card games and relaxing in-between our wrestling event. Will definitely stay here again! Thank you!!
