Historic Home on 4 Acres - Hot Tub, Pool, Tiki Bar

DebiRating, 5 stars2 days ago
We did a girls night out and wished we could’ve spent more time at this house. It’s like a museum for the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. So much attention to detail was put into the design and decorating of this house with some really cool personal touches about the family who owns it. The pool looks amazing and wish we could’ve used it but we went in February. The kitchen was stocked fabulously. Book 2-3 days if you can so you can enjoy it thoroughly. Thank you for sharing this lovely home with us!

RED ROCK Lake House - Lower Level Apartment

MelRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This is our second stay, Len and Sharon are awesome! We love staying here this time of year because the American Eagles are so plentiful. There is a wood fireplace and Len keeps you stocked with firewood. We like sitting in the living room, with a warm fire crackling and looking out the two large sliding doors with a good cup of coffee, watching many different species of birds feeding at the bird feeder right off the deck and watching the eagles soar by. Everything is sparkling clean and so welcoming. We haven’t found a better spot to unwind and relax.

A farm get-a-way

KateRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Molly was a great host and very helpful when we had questions and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable for our family. Her home was very clean, the furniture was really comfortable, and the home was on an active farm surrounded by beautiful and peaceful farm land. The home is also only about 10 minutes to Adel which has a cute little downtown area with several resturants and only about a half hour to the West end of Des Moines which had a lot of shopping and activity. It was a perfect stay for us.
