Great spot for family weekend

We stayed here with another family for the YMCA Regionals swim meet. The place was central and big enough for our two families (4 parents and 3 kids). Much better than a hotel and close to everything!

We stayed at this newly remodeled home for a college reunion/Drake Relays. It is very close to Drake’s campus and local restaurants. The photos on the website match exactly what you get! The beds were all VERY comfortable, the house was immaculate and it had all we needed. The owners were also very friendly and provided clear communications and fast responses to questions that popped up. If you are looking for a stay in Des Moines (especially for anything at Drake) you should book this rental. We plan to be back when we return for a future reunion!

Unbeatable.

This property is fantastic. It is very updated, with all the amenities you'd hope to have. The location is literally steps away from the Drake University campus and the Drake Diner. The furnishings and beds are super comfortable and convenient. And the manager was very accommodating and responsive to our needs! I seriously doubt you can find a better option!
