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

Good place to hang out. Great attention to details regarding the little things that make a difference. House could use some work- lots of outlets didn’t work, wall and ceiling cracks, but a solid place to enjoy family and friends.

This place is nice and full of entertainment options! We met as a halfway point for one night. We had a great time. Steven was great to communicate with. A couple pieces of furniture were weak and broken but after letting Steven know I’m confident those have been removed from the home. This place is conveniently located just off the major highway to bypasses Des Moines on the West side. We met at The Machine Shed upon arrival and Cracker Barrel upon departure both within minutes away. Great stay, many memories made. We weren’t desperate and I did not need to ask but extra bedding could be an issue so plan ahead and inquire. The step into the house has settled and is an extra tall step that caused a bit of a problem but once in all was good.

Basketball tournament weekend
The basement was awesome. The boys loved that space! The hot tub was also enjoyed. The kitchen had everything we needed. Our one and only issue was with the inaccuracy of the number of people the home was supposed to sleep. Because of this discrepancy we had to sleep on the floors and couches without blankets and pillows. I had tried contacting Steven via phone and text upon our late arrival, but was unsuccessful. Steven tried to make this right the following morning when I brought it to his attention with a late check out and a second night, but unfortunately we were unable to extend our stay. We would stay here again, but with fewer people.

Awesome place for family!
We had an absolutely great time! We used the property for a family Christmas gathering. The reason we chose this house was because of the games in the basement and they did not disappoint. The kids had a great time with them during the day and the adults enjoyed them after the kids went to bed. I would highly recommend this property!
