THE SPACE:

Dining: off of the kitchen you will find a dining room with a built-in table and bench. Space-saver highchair available in the laundry closet, if needed.
Living Room: when you walk in the front door, you will be greeted by a cozy welcome area, and the family room with two queen sized pull-out-couches (bedding located in the upstairs bedroom closet) and an overstuffed chair. The living room also offers a 65” flat-screen smart TV to allow you to login to all your favorite streaming services during your stay.
Bedrooms: on the second level you will find three bedrooms and a full bathroom. Two of the bedrooms are equipped with queen beds, and the other bedroom has two queen beds in it. All bedrooms have brand new memory foam topped mattresses, dressers, smart TVs, and nightstands with touch smart lamps to easily charge your phone at night. Pack-N-Play available in a bedroom closet if needed.
Kid Zone/Game Room: On the third and final floor, which is the finished attic, you will find a smart TV with a Wii system and games, fun seating, game tables, and a full bathroom. The attic is finished with A/C and Heat, but do note due to it being an older home, the temp does not always keep up with the other levels perfectly. Ceilings and doorways are also lower in some areas, so watch your head if you join the kids for some gaming!
Bathrooms: Our home offers three full bathrooms. One bathroom is upstairs with the bedrooms, one in the KID ZONE (Attic) and the other is on the main level just off the dining room. Each bathroom is fully stocked with fresh towels, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.

Office: A quiet office is conveniently located in the 4th bedroom on the main level with a desk and twin trundle beds.
Laundry: First floor washer and dryer available with enough detergent to start off your stay. The ironing board and iron are also accessible in the laundry room for your convenience.
Parking: Free, off-street parking in the driveway, with enough space to park 3-4 vehicles. The garage will not be accessible. There is additional free parking in the street.

Summary: Our family made a quick trip to Des Moines to visit the zoo with the two little grandkids. This location was perfect. We enjoyed being close to great food and the zoo. Although it rained (which was a welcome relief from the heat) and we didn’t get to enjoy the back yard, it is a great setup-hot tub, fire pit, and loads of shade.
