About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Downtown Renovated Beauty

Come and enjoy this historic home with stunning modern design in the heart of Sherman Hill! Built in 1880, this renovated gem has 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. It's just a few minutes walk to downtown Des Moines, bars and restaurants.

The designer kitchen is fully equipped for your culinary adventures with plenty of seating inside and out. The whole family can enjoy our fenced in back yard with outdoor tables and play-set.

The space
Each bedroom has a nova foam mattress. Two of the bedrooms have queen beds and the master bedroom with an en suite bathroom has a king.
Two bedrooms are located upstairs. There is one bedroom and one bathroom on the main floor.

The basement is unfinished with a washer and dryer.
Laundry detergent, dish soap, toilet paper, tissues, shampoo, conditioner and body wash are provided.

If you are traveling with small children we can provide a pack‘n play, high chair, children’s cups, dishes and utensils as well as toys.

If you are here in the winter, we are happy to come by and teach you how to use the gas fireplace as the older style can be confusing and we want you to be safe.

Guest access
During your stay you will have the entire house to yourself.
We will give you your own unique passcode for the Nest lock on the back door close to the garage.
You will also have access to one bay of the garage- we do use the other bay, the garage is not attached to the house.
