Beautiful Home near Interstate
A friend and I stayed at this place for the weekend. It's a cozy place that is beautifully restored and decorated with easy access to the interstate. We appreciated many of the "extras" the host provided such as complimentary coffee, tea, makeup remover wipes, etc. The kitchen is well stocked with spices, a kettle, a toaster, and any other items you need. The one downside is the unit upstairs; we could always hear them walking around.

Great stay at The Carol Anne
The Carol Anne was a perfect place to stay. I was a solo traveler, however, this 1st floor home would be very comfortable for up to 4 persons. Very clean & had all the conveniences of home including washer/dryer. If the weather was a bit more pleasant, it would be nice to sit on the porch. If I come back to Des Moines, I will see if The Carol Anne would be available again.

Iowa getaway
What a cozy home. We had everything we needed. It was clean, had a fully stocked kitchen with a gas range and a full size fridge, washer, and dryer. Everything was laid out in a nice book with full instructions. It was great. Not sure if I missed it at booking but this is a duplex type of home we were down stairs and it was lodging upstairs we only shared a nice wraparound type porch. I highly recommend this property and would not hesitate to book it again.
