About this property
Close to Drake/Downtown - Filled With Amenities, Pet Friendly, Hot Tub, Theater!
Welcome to your cozy 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom getaway in the historic Beaverdale neighborhood of Des Moines, Iowa! Enjoy a movie night in our private theater, relax in the 6-person hot tub, and savor grilled delights on the Weber grill. Each custom bedroom offers ultimate comfort, while the outdoor oasis is perfect for gatherings. Quick highway access, quick trip to Drake University, and less than 10 minutes from downtown make this the ideal retreat for your Iowa adventure.
This is where luxury meets whimsy and relaxation reigns supreme! We've got more amenities than you can shake a selfie stick at, and we're ready to pamper you in style.
First up, prepare to soak your worries away in our heavenly 6-person hot tub. Whether you're a lone star or part of a galaxy of friends, this bubbling oasis is where relaxation gets cranked up to eleven. It's the perfect place to swap stories, stargaze, or just pretend you're in a giant, cozy cup of cosmic cocoa.
If you prefer a fireside chat, head over to our outdoor seating and dining area. Picture this: a flickering fire table casting a warm, inviting glow, an outdoor sectional couch that wraps you up like a hug from your favorite blanket, and a hammock swinging gently in the breeze. You'll wonder why you ever considered staying anywhere else.
Feeling a bit more adventurous? How about cozying up to our outdoor fireplace, where you'll find comfy Adirondack chairs waiting to cradle you as you sip your favorite beverage under the open sky. It's the perfect spot for marshmallow roasting or telling ghost stories that may or may not be entirely true.
But wait, there's more! For the movie buffs in the group, we've got a dedicated theater room where you can catch your favorite flicks. Plus, it doubles as extra sleeping space. It's a cinematic slumber party waiting to happen!
For those who need their caffeine fix, our coffee and tea bar is stocked to the brim with all your favorite brews. Need a pick-me-up or a calming cuppa? It's all here, ready to be savored in the morning sun or under the twinkling stars.
Our fully stocked kitchen is a foodie's dream come true. You'll find everything from utensils to pots and pans, a toaster, tea kettle, wine glasses, martini glasses, shot glasses, drink mixing tools, and even an ice maker for your frosty beverages. Cook up a feast fit for royalty, or just whip up some midnight snacks—it's all up to you!
And speaking of midnight, don't forget to spin some vinyl on our nostalgic record player. Choose your favorite tunes and let the music take you back in time as you groove to the classics.
Now, when it comes to rest, you've got choices. Sleep amongst the nebula and stars in the Moon Room or drift away in the serenity of the Mountain Room, each meticulously themed and filled with decor that will transport you to another world. In The Boho Room, you'll be greeted by the eclectic charm of bohemian decor. This cozy nook features a twin daybed with a trundle bed underneath, making it perfect for a solo traveler or a pair of friends looking for a whimsical and snug sleepover experience. And if you've ever wanted to channel your inner movie star, there's a vanity here just waiting for your close-up. It's the ideal spot to pamper yourself, fix your makeup, or simply indulge in a little self-care.
