In Town for Iowa State Fair
Quiet neighborhood and clean house. A/C was welcomed and great hot water. Cozy kitchen, comfortable bed. Did need another shade in living room, a new bulb in the bedroom lamp, and TV was a puzzle. But overall a very enjoyable stay. In spite of ongoing street construction(s), easy to get to desired locations, close to grocery store.

Birdie house
This house is very nice and clean. Back yard needs some attention, but we did enjoy it alot, so did our little dogs. We spent alot of time out there. We had some beautiful days to enjoy the weather and just relax. Oh, and one thing we discovered was the cinnamon rolls at La Mie bakery. If you love cinnamon rolls, that's your place. We never did figure out the TV. I think we needed a firestick to get it to work. Overall, our stay was great!

Des Moines Bungalow
Great place, responsive friendly owners. Great location fir anything you need and travel To Drake University. We will stay again! Down side in winter maybe that there is no garage - which is fine for a few days.

Terrible Property Management
We did not stay because property was not easily accessible due to construction and lack of lighting to see where the house was located. Porch light was not turned on and address of property was not easily seen at night.

Clean, quiet house - just as advertised
Enjoyed a long weekend here - working part of the time and watching the Drake Relays. The house was lovely - updated and very clean - it looked just like the pictures. The neighborhood was quiet. Was nice to eat at the table on the back deck when it was nice out - limited table seating inside but didn’t affect us. Would stay here again!

Second time staying, clean and cute
This is our second time staying at "Birdie" and it's really nicely maintained, even a few updates from our last stay. Always clean and cozy, love that dogs are welcome and the backyard was perfect for that. We got a little snow/frost during our stay and someone even came by to salt the driveway and walkway. WiFi signal could be a little stronger for streaming, but everything else is great.

Best experience ever
This little house is charming, welcoming and has everything you need whether you are getting away for a romantic weekend or a family vacation. Very spacious inside even though it looks small from carbide. The fenced in back yard was wonderful for our dog to just relax in, plenty of parking and so quiet. Location is close to several restaurants, grocery stores and nightlife. We will definitely be staying there again when we return to Des Moines.
