The Unique Benefits of this House
Even though the property is just 30 minutes from downtown Des Moines, we relish the fact that we can truly get away from the daily grind and have so many options allowing us to relax. Throw a line in the pond outdoors or ice skate in winter with not a neighbor to be seen or heard. Inside every room offers up something new for you; movies in the theater room along with your own popcorn machine, your own bowling lane with balls and shoes of all sizes, a quiet corner to read, pool, darts,or foosball with friends, 3 ovens to entertain or cook for a family Thanksgiving feast. Room to sleep 20 adults and even more children. We've vacationed all across the United States and have never stayed at a home that offers this much.
