Clean & thoughtful touches! I loved the outdoor patio. The bedroom size is in keeping with the house, comfortable & was well represented from the pictures. The washing machine & dryer were nice to have - especially after using the hot tub.

Very Accommodating Space

This was a great location to do many things in Des Moines. The space was perfect for 6 adult females to lounge and converse over the weekend. We spent most of our time on the deck, as we had a perfect weekend. I would highly recommend.

Convenient for track events!

Easy to get to and from where we needed to be. Small but clean and met all the needs for sleeping except one part-basement included sleeping option for the couch but doesn’t work if you’re over 6 feet tall. We managed with that since it was a teenager. :) Overall we’re planning to stay again!

We loved the theater room and the hot tub! The location of the Coop was in a safe and quiet neighborhood. Jesse was prompt with any communication and very accommodating! Will definitely book again!!

The best girls getaway!

The five of us stayed Thursday-Sunday for a girls getaway weekend. We didn’t have any plans other than just relaxing and catching up and this house was excellent for it! The beds and furniture are comfy and the theater room was so much fun! The back yard was adorable with lots of comfy seating!! That early fall weather was perfect to enjoy the fire table and hot tub. This is a nice halfway point for us and I’m sure we will be back!

Great place for kids/teens

A group of seven of us stayed for the national speech and debate association tournament. We were able to have our four students sleep in the basement and they loved that area. The decor was amazing. The house was very clean and Jesse was great to work with. We had a couple bumps on the road that we're not Jesse's fault but he communicated great and was a fantastic troubleshooter. it's clear that he's very customer oriented and wanted to keep us happy.

Nice place

I chose this place due to price, location and what it provided for the grandchildren. It was decorated cute and had a theatre in the basement. We were hoping to have smores after a day at Adventureland and a movie. Rain came in so outside was out and then the TV's didn't work. SO, it wasn't the best experience for the grands that we were hoping for. I reached out to Jesse and heard back after we were in bed. We still didn't have them working by the time we left, but we were refunded a portion of our stay. At first, she became a little defensive (like it was our fault and we weren't doing it correct because it was okay on her end) but after explaining myself, taking pics, and checking into it more, there was an issue. She was accommodating with the refund and went out of her way to let a friend back in the house to get a stuffed animal that was left behind. I did a suggestion for the suggestion box in the house and that was to have an exterminator come in. There were quite a few cobwebs, and we killed three spiders. Overall....quiet neighborhood and cozy little place to put your hat down. Cute kitchen with goodies and tons of coffee lover stuff and essentials for cooking! Highly recommend.

Property not as described: We were to spend the night in the home you listed on 9/27/25 and this property is not as described and extremely unacceptable. First off we contacted you regarding possible early check in since we made it early. No response. We drove to the house only to find a a male and female there which looked like cleaners since they brought out a vacuum large bag of miscellaneous stuff, garbage and mop. This was at 2pm and they didn’t leave until 2:55pm and check in was 3pm. It was obvious they were scrambling to finish the work they were doing or I should say “lack of work.” They were in such a hurry they dropped linen off the step of the front door then left. We felt this was not professional to not have the place ready prior to our arrival. We tried getting in the front door but had issues getting in. So we walked the outside of the house to the back to find it absolutely disgusting from the neighbors backyard to the uncleaned patio and unsanitary hot tub that was filled with foam and just filth. This was where we were to spend our time but it was not healthy and clean. When we received a phone call from Jesse regarding entry, we were able to enter the house only to continue to be disgusted and unsatisfied with the cleanliness from smudges, cobwebs, dishwasher running with dirty dishes, dust etc. We all agreed we didn’t feel comfortable and safe with the property and contacted you again with the complaints. When we asked for a full refund you stated...

Disappointing Stay ~ Dirty & Poor Drainage Issues

I wasn’t planning to leave a review, but after the host specifically asked me to leave a five-star review for their “fabulous cleaning team,” I felt compelled to share our actual experience—one that was far from fabulous. The property looked adorable in the photos, but the reality was very disappointing: * Bedding was dirty, with hair (both human and animal) on all the sheets, on every bed. * The kitchen had smears of unidentified substances on the microwave buttons and fridge handles. * The backyard was so neglected, with a thick pile of leaves, that we didn’t feel safe letting our dog out, plus it was not secure for pets as they could escape out the side gate. * The bathroom was gross—the sink and tub drained so slowly that showers turned into standing in calf-deep water, all while enduring barely-there water pressure. Stepping out of the shower only made things worse, as the bathmat was covered in dog hair and what appeared to be dirt. The situation with the bathroom became such an inconvenience that we had to go to a family member’s house just so my children could take baths. While the host mentioned they were trying to get a plumber to come fix the issue, the plumber never showed up, leaving the problem unresolved for our entire stay. Although cute, this property was far from clean. Being asked by the host to leave a glowing review for a cleaning team that so clearly didn’t do their job was pure gaslighting. We do not recommend.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 Dec, 2024
This is very unfortunate. I appreciate your reservation, but from the beginning the guest was complaining about cleanliness issues without providing pictures or information. The guest ended up plugging our bathtub somehow, and the sewer drain backed up causing us to have two plumbers come during and after their stay. They also snuck in a dog without paying the fee, and caused quite a mess. There was dog feces all over the yard and there was dog puke on our movie theater risers requiring extra cleaning upon checkout. My communication was immediate and on point, while the guest took several days to respond to any texts and stated several times that everything was going well and was fine. I even followed up after the plumber came to fix the bathtub drain and the guest did not respond, then upon leaving, the sewer drain had backed up and there was a mess of "flushable wipes" all over my basement floor, these two plumbing issues caused by the guest cost around $400 total. Not what I would expect from a guest staying during the holidays. I wish things were discussed properly and up front, so we would have got paid for the extra cleaning for the dog or not allowed it, the guest overall seemed nice when communicating, but was completely unreachable after when we tried to communicate about the damages and dog puke/cleaning.
