Nailed the remodel

1st time in DM and this property fit our needs well. The home had everything we needed. The road has a couple loud vehicles that buzz by, but overall a quiet neighborhood while we have been here.

Perfect fit

It was the perfect location for our trip the Savannah Bananas game. It was clean and perfectly located for all our needs. It was so nice to have the lights on to help us since we got in so late the first night. Mollie is her responsive and while we didn’t need them having a washer and dryer was a nice bonus. We regret not having time to enjoy the back yard. If the game is back in Des Moines, we will definitely try to reserve this place again.

About the host

Hosted by Mollie

Host profile image
We’re a travel-loving couple who enjoy exploring new places and, when we’re home, entertaining friends and family. Our experiences staying in short-term rentals inspired us to host our own guests one day. This home is especially meaningful—it’s my husband’s childhood home, and we’ve poured a lot of love and care into remodeling it. We hope you feel the same comfort and warmth here that we do!

Why they chose this property

Our home offers the best of both worlds—just a quick commute to downtown Des Moines, yet tucked in a friendly neighborhood where you can enjoy a quiet, comfortable stay.

What makes this property unique

When we remodeled, we focused on the comforts we look for when staying in short-term rentals. We kept the space simple, uncluttered, and functional so our guests can feel relaxed and truly at home during their stay.
