Leann left us a nice welcome note with some treats which was very sweet. The home was comfortable and clean and nicely stocked with supplies and towels. The kitchen was well equipped. We really enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub on the deck overlooking the golf course. Being middle-aged women, we appreciated the fan in each of the bedrooms lol

Wonderful home away from home. Very clean with a wonderful deck to sit and have coffee and watch the golfers. Of course it is close enough to walk to the couse for a couple rounds! Grandkids enjoyed the games and we enjoyed the special greetings. Will stay again on our next trip to Iowa.

Nice little getaway for us. Hosts are extremely easy to communicate with. Very efficient and will do anything to accommodate your needs. Hot tub was relaxing as well as sitting by the fire. Being right on the golf course/putt putt - if in house you would never know, but if outside great entertainment! Would book again!!

The Altoona Iowa golf course house

This house is a great place to stay. The golf course club house is right next door, by the way an excellent course. The owner is super to deal with everything was perfect. All the beds were very comfortable. This place even has a basement to get away from storms. We would definitely go back and stay again.

All the conveniences of home!

We had an excellent stay in Iowa!! We took in all the area sights, attended Iowa State Fair, and connected with relatives for a reunion. Our accommodations were above expectations!! The host was anticipated our every need- and even though we only communicated by text I felt like I had known her for years. If we are ever in the area we certainly would book the property again!!!

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.
