About the host
Hosted by Joe or Leann Riding
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.
