King bed Drake and central Des Moines

8/10 Good

"Excellent location close to Drake University! Very clean unit. Bathroom is tight but it was fine for the 2 nights we were there. There were not many outlets and the ones that were there were loose. (Device cords fell out easily if bumped.) The unit is in an old house. For what age the house appears to be, the unit was really pretty well maintained. We’d stay here again for a future trip."

The Gathering House — Hot Tub | Arcade Attic | Fenced Yard | Sleeps 10

8/10 Good

"This property was adorable. The neighborhood was walkable and cute. The yard was lacking grass so was very muddy for my pups. However I recognize that the amount of rain in Des Moines this year has been unreal and a shaded yard creates lack of grass. I would stay here again."
