This was our 4th stay. Was just as wonderful and relaxing as everytime before. We appreciate the quiet and the beauty this place offers. It's a wonderful time to reconnect with family in a beautiful setting. The kitchen makes cooking family meals a breeze. While I bring some of my own cookware/utensils, it's just because I'm finicky, they have everything you need for family meals. We got the pleasure of being there during a blizzard. Was beautiful to see.

This beautiful home was large enough for our family and the kids really enjoyed the swing set and card games!!! Within 25 minutes of Living History Farm which was a hit for our family! A nice quiet location and wonderful, large screened porch for the whole family. Since the mosquitos were way too friendly. We enjoyed it!!!

Beautiful location

This home is a wonderful and relaxing place to retreat from the busyness of life without having to travel so far from the Des Moines area. The house had everything we needed and the yard was peaceful and full of woodland creatures. We enjoyed bird watching and being close to nature.

Marvelous Lodge & Setting

We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our stay at this incredible property. The rooms were spacious, beautifully appointed, exceptionally clean and wonderfully furnished. Communications with the host were superb, and we enjoyed every aspect of our stay. Terrific grounds, amazing outdoor spaces, close to several bike paths and an easy trip to Des Moines if that’s of interest. We loved it!

Family Gathering

Timberline Lodge was the perfect place for our extended family of 9 to stay. There was a high chair and pack and play for our grand baby and bunk beds for our other grand children. The adults loved the hot tub and appreciated our nightly relaxing soaks. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. It was a beautiful place to stay.

Family Wedding Weekend

I and my family were quite impressed with the property. We have stayed at several short term rentals in the past and this one has been our favorite. From the very nice and spacious house that allowed adults and kids to sleep comfortably to the spacious outside space that gave us room to play and enjoy the nice spring weather it was all fabulous. If we have the need to stay in the area again I absolutely would use Timberpine Lodge again.

Blissful Relaxation

Timberpine Lodge was beautiful and exceeded our expectations. There were plenty of dishes and cookware for all our needs. It was a quiet and serene location, very beautiful with all the trees on the property. We had an enjoyable time just sitting in the screened in porch and watching all the birds at the bird feeder. Would love to visit again.

Amazing Getaway & Wonderful Stay at Timberpine Lodge

Greg & Cheryl are the perfect hosts. Our family gathered for a long holiday weekend at the lodge and it was a joy to visit. The lodge is tucked away in a beautiful, quiet rural area outside of city limits. The amenities were plentiful, cleanliness was outstanding, check in process was seamless, indoor space is voluminous, and is truly a hidden gem in Dallas County. We look forward to returning again in the very near future.

Friends Forever

I grew up in a small town not far from this beautiful rental in Adel. Right off of a main highway but secluded by country surroundings. Super clean and great furnishings. My Iowa classmates meet each year and this is our favorite place to stay. You can’t ask for nicer owners or better facilities. A 10+ all the way. We will be back next year!

Would stay here again

Property was great the owners were great. The only thing I would take them to task on, and this is being nit picky because it was a great stay, is communication. I messaged the host 10 minutes before check in on the logistics of getting in. Maybe send a message ahead of time saying instructions will come day checking? Overall fantastic stay.

If you’re thinking about booking this property DO IT!

We had our girls weekend at this property this year. There were 12 of us. Plenty of bathrooms, plenty of space for us to spread out and get some quiet time. The hot tub is awesome and the screened in porch was heavenly. LOVE the heater out there. There was plenty of seating at the fire pit too! The kitchen is very well stocked with everything a larger group would need. Plenty of pots and pans and cooking utensils. I would highly recommend this property if you are looking for a quiet out-of-the-way place for your next get together!
