James M., St. Charles

nice guy, but property not ready for prime time
The overall condition of the property was less than adequate. There is broken lighting, the bed in the front room was basically on the ground, one can smell musty or moldy smells in parts of the house, the people who slept in the basement bedrooms all got coughs and allergy symptoms, the door locks didn't work, there wasn't enough towels and toilet paper for everyone, the fully stocked kitchen is not nearly fully stocked for cooking, not every tv had a remote, and one of the ones we did have quit working. The house just needs updating, one can tell that the work that was done was not done professionally. The home owner did tell us the people before us really tore some things up, and he did come over and remediated the towels, tp, and door lock issues immediately, but the place just needs more work. I get the idea that the owners haven't been in a job needing customer service or a hotelier business. However, the neighbor seems really nice.

Overall, really good. Great communication with owner. Inside was decorated nicely and was clean. Patio area was very nice. They may want to hire a better groundskeeper though. Weeds gave bad impression of outside. Overall it worked nicely for us.

Graduation Trip
This is a terrific property, and we really appreciated the service-orientation of the owner. First rate! We were 9 people - multiple families in the area for a college graduation. Loved the size of the house it’s amenities: clean and comfortable rooms, good kitchen, bbq, backyard patio and lounge area, etc. Unit is very close to some excellent dining options, but we also were able to cook effectively for our group of 9 people in the kitchen. We would highly recommend both the property and the owner!

Very clean place. Loved the backyard. Communication was very good with owner. We came for a couple of graduation parties and this was convenient- in between both parties and close to shopping. We would stay here again

3 night stay
Everyone enjoyed the house, it was clean and felt safe. The only issues were clothes still in the dryer and the wrong coffee filters. I purchased the correct filters and they should last a long time. I would rent this house again.

Great location
Stayed at this location for an Iowa golf trip in early April with 3 friends. Location was clean and well kept. Beds were all comfortable and great that everyone had their own space. Used the outdoor grill one night for steak, did not use the outdoor sitting space but looked very inviting. Was centrally located to easily get to all of the golf courses we played in the Des Moines area. The owner was very responsive before, during and after the stay.

A litle disappointment
All was fantastic until we discovered the dishes were dirty in the dishwasher and the laundry ( mostly kitchen/bath linens) were in a pile on the basement floor. Otherwise, this experience would have yielded 5 stars.

Easy Check-In & Great Communication Throughout
The property owner, Dan, displayed great communication prior to, during and check out. The property was as listed/pictured and was more than enough space for our small group. There were plenty of options in regards to grocery stores and restaurants within a 1.5 mile radius. We were in town for an event at Hyvee Hall but ended up at the local park, Adventureland, as well because of the convenience. There was also a casino near but we didn’t have anyone in the party who gambled. All in all a great stay - thank you to our host!
