About this property

Enjoy golf course views with hot tub and fire pit.

30+ 5 star reviews on another daily rental website! Leann and I are your hosts as we do not use a 2nd party management company. Our home is adjacent to Terrace Hills GC and you will find outdoor deck amenities that you will not find at any other Altoona area daily rental; golf course views, hot tub, and fire pit! Our home is minutes away from Adventureland, Prairie Meadows, and many more central Iowa amenities. Our calendar nightly rate is for 2 guests. Additional guest(s), $20.00 per person, per night. Approximately 1,300 square feet, remodeled in 2020. Sleeps 7 - 3 bedrooms, 1 king, 2 queens, and single pull out in sun room. 1 1/2 bathrooms. Guests have access to the entire first floor. Terrace Hills GC begins golf course maintenance operations at daylight. Tee times begin at 7 AM. You may hear golf course maintenance equipment at daylight and golfers on the first tee box at 7 AM. Mini golf summer hours 9 AM to 10 PM. THANKS for viewing.

Perfect!
I have stayed in a lot of VRBO homes, but this place by far is the cleanest and most welcoming stay I have ever experienced! Leann was so great about communicating and making sure we had EVERYTHING we needed. The house was located in a great place to travel about in a short time. I highly recommend staying here, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks Leann and Joe.

A Tee'd Up Thanksgiving
The property is well cared for and was very relaxing overlooking the first Tee in the backyard. Our pup enjoyed watching the brown squirrels scamper about the golf course. We highly recommend this property to you and your family in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Joe or Leann Riding

Host profile image
My wife and I owned Terrace Hills, the golf course was built and operated by the Riding family for 57 years. We had an opportunity to sell the golf course in December of 2019, but we kept the home. Our original plan was to VRBO the home in 2020 but market conditions didn't lend itself to daily rentals until 2023.

Why they chose this property

Our home is the only VRBO rental in the Des Moines area that is located on a golf course.

What makes this property unique

Our home has a large deck over looking Terrace Hills GC and includes 4 person hot tub and fire pit.
