Great stay

Needed to be in the area for a family wedding. One person in our group just finished chemo so we wanted a place for him to relax. This place was excellent.

Pleasant experience

We had a brief stay for a wedding and the home met all of our needs. It was in the country, though still close to town.

Beautiful property

Nice large home for family. Loved the property and view. Very private. Everyone loved the pool table and ping pong. Great dining table for dominoes. Internet was very good and so was T.V. Great stay!

Quiet place to stay with a great yard.

We were looking for a place away from city lights to watch the annual Persied meteor shower. This location was perfect, far enough from town so it was dark yet close enough if we needed groceries or a restaurant. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate and it was completely overcast for our entire stay. Though we didn't see any meteors we enjoyed the peace and quiet of this home. The backyard and pond were great and we found a mowed path to do a little hiking in the woods. The house was pretty well equipped and the pictures were accurate. The only negatives I might have are that if you run out of towels and wash cloths the washer and dryer are coin operated and all of the exterior security cameras. I understand the owner needs to protect his property but it is somewhat unnerving to feel like you are being watched while enjoying the yard. Overall, we would stay here again.

4th

We had lots and lots of ants on counters. Most of us got what we believe to be chiggers. Not sure, bit definitely Not mosquito bites. The couch is pretty much worn out. One of the dining table chairs is broken from underwear the seat. So had to be careful sitting on it.

About the host

Hosted by Tracy Thayer

Host profile image
We discovered the Bethany area and fell in love with the small town amenities. It is the perfect location for us to explore nature or find some local antique shops.

Why they chose this property

About 90 min from Des Moines and Kansas City. Visit the famous Toot Toot Restaurant or other local favorites. There's always something interesting to do especially during the holiday season. Local parades, the drag races, or biking on the nature trails.

What makes this property unique

This home has a very large common area perfect for family gatherings with the center of the room offering a professional pool table. There plenty of room in the yard to run and play or enjoy marshmallows at the firepit. You may even see some lightening bugs during the summer months along with a beautiful display of stars in the night sky.
