About Your Host- I love to make people happy and that exactly what my properties are designed for. I'm a landlord by trade. I have apartment complexes and rental homes. Then six years ago I created my first vacation rental property, and it grew from there. I offer vacation rentals because it's fun! Making sure groups are set up to have a blast is a challenge that I find very rewarding. I take this seriously. Being a big kid at heart, I make it my mission to deliver the fun for kids- also being one who appreciates nice things, I deliver comfort and attention to detail for the adults. I truly desire for you to have the most fun and relaxation as possible, and with the fewest hassles as well. That is why we put in so much effort before you get there. We provide and offer many things that set us apart. Things like super comfy beds, awesome fluffy towels, mints, coffee, toothpaste and toothbrushes, luxurious body care products, personal care products, make-up removing towelettes, and others as well. I hope to get to take care of you and your crew soon! May you have and awesome trip wherever you stay...and may God bless you. Sincerely ~Steven

It was a great weekend gateway for our extended family. House was perfect! Bathroom situation was weird. Half bath has plumbing issues and had to plunge a few times.

Thank you so much for your rating and review. It was a pleasure to work with you and address your needs quickly. You're always welcome back, and we look forward to hosting you again!
Our family had such a great time at this Urbandale home! The location made it easy to get to downtown Des Moines and but the neighborhood was peaceful. The game room was a huge hit with the kids (and the adults, too!)—we spent hours playing together. The kitchen was well stocked, which made meal times simple, and the bathrooms had everything we needed and were v@clean. It really felt like a home away from home, and we appreciated all the thoughtful touches.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review—it's guests like you who make hosting such a joy! We're thrilled your family enjoyed the game room, and all the little extras like those bonus toiletries. It was our pleasure to ensure everything was just right—we welcome you back soon for more family fun and memorable adventures.
A group of art teachers stayed here for a night after professional development. The living room was large and we could all hang out. The game room had ample space and things to do.
We had a fun time staying at this house. We visited downtown Des Moines and had a great time at Adventureland. The only suggestion would be to have some dish towels in the kitchen. The arcade games, ping pong table and skee-ball were popular with the kids.

We're so glad you had a great time at Adventureland and downtown Des Moines—sounds like a fun family getaway! We're glad the kids loved the arcade games, ping pong table, and skee-ball. We'll add some dish towels to the kitchen for next time—thanks for the feedback and thank you for choosing our place to stay. We'd love to welcome you back for another memorable experience.
We really enjoyed our stay here! The neighborhood felt safe, the garage was set up fun with games, a ping pong table, bar, tv, table, and couch. Great for lounging around and having the garage doors open on a nice day. The house also has many bedrooms with multiple beds in several. This allowed everyone to sleep comfortably. Will be booking again in the future.

The bathroom sinks didn’t drain. The TV remote in the living room was broke but we used the one from the game room. It did have a slight urine smell. Beds were comfy, quite area and provided basic hygiene stuff.

Thank you your feedback! We apologize for the issues you had. This is not how we operate . We operate by going above and beyond for our guests so there are no issues. Had you let us know of these things, we would have come right away, fixed things and made things right. We are glad to hear that you found the beds comfortable and our amenities plentiful. Thank you for choosing us!
Stayed here with family ranging in age from littles to adults. Kids and adults had fun playing in the party room. Plenty of beds for everyone to sleep in. Location was great for shopping and finding restaurants.
We had our family go for the weekend for Christmas! Beautiful home. Lots of bedrooms and the kids were never bored! We took them swimming at the apartment complex, pool was GREAT
This is a great house for groups with clean and comfortable beds! We loved watching replays of our hockey game in the garage! Just a few items need attention : the kitchen needs more forks (there are only 3), the upstairs needs a few box fans because two of the bedrooms don't have AC (one of the vents doesn't blow cold air, the other doesn't have a vent). Highly recommend overall!

It’s awesome that the game room was a hit and that there were abundant sleeping spaces for your get-together.

The house had many bedrooms and beds so it was perfect for our friends and my family to meet up and enjoy quality time together. We enjoyed the game room and used the kitchen frequently. The location was great and convenient. We would stay there again.
