Only minutes away from one of the most progressive dining and restaurant cultures in the Midwest.

We are a family of 5 and this is our primary residence. Would be a perfect place for a family to stay with enough space for a couple of families. Or just a great space for anyone wanting to have a peaceful stay in the trees.

OUTDOOR SPACE

Short trails in our trees for you to enjoy. Various wildflowers throughout the spring and summer. During the winter you can follow animal tracks in the snow.

Large 6 person hot tub to relax while you enjoy the view of the trees.

Two areas with fire pits. Outdoor table near the house if you want to eat outside. Large wrap around porch with swings to sit and relax.

"The home is beautiful and the grounds are fabulous. We saw a few deer every morning just outside the front door. The hot tub was a great way to end each day. We will definitely be returning!" - Diann

BEDROOMS

The master bedroom has a King size bed and a master bathroom attached with a walk-in shower.

"One of my favorite places I’ve stayed! Very quiet and comfortable indoors and out!" - Tiffany

The 2nd bedroom has a King size bed and a large closet with space to hang your clothes and a dresser for you to use.

The 3rd bedroom is a large loft area with triple Twin size bunk beds and Queen size bed. There is no door that closes off that area but it is upstairs and offers privacy. Plenty of toys for your kids to enjoy.

"This home is even more perfect in person than it is in the photos. The inside is filled with cozy spaces and beautiful design accents. The outdoor living space is one of the best I’ve ever seen from the hammocks and swing on the porch to the sitting area with a smokeless fire pit to the hot tub and outdoor dining area, all lit by hanging lights. We spent a perfect fall weekend with friends here. I’d highly recommend it!" - Jennifer

AMENETIES

- Kitchen stocked with cooking supplies/utensils.
- Kitchen table can seat up to 8, with 5 additional spots around the island.

We will communicate mostly over the phone via text. The entire house will be yours so we will not be on the property.

"Spending Christmas with family at this property felt like a Hallmark movie. This beautiful home had everything we needed, wanted and more. We used the kitchen to cook all of our meals, including Christmas dinner -- the kitchen had everything we needed. We really enjoyed the wood-burning fire place and hot tub." - Jennifer

LOCATION

We are in between Des Moines and Ankeny. Only a couple of miles away from Interstate 80/35 so it's quick and easy to get anywhere in the Des Moines metro.

1.5 miles away from a convenience store/gas station. About seven minutes away to the nearest grocery store, coffee house, restaurant, etc.

"The house is adorable and the location is perfect - not far from the interstate, close to Saylorville Lake where we went boating, and only 15 minutes from downtown Des Moines." - Kennedy

SECLUDED AREA

There is enough space between our house and the next that you never see our neighbors. Past the trees on our property it is mostly fields, so it's a secluded spot.

"A great getaway that feels secluded from the hustle bustle, but super convenient to restaurants and entertainment in Des Moines and Ankeny. Very clean, everything is easy to find in the Airbnb and well organized." - Melanie

We do have a glamping tent tucked into the trees. If the tent is rented out during your stay you may see a parked car, but the tent is far enough in the trees that you shouldn't see the other guests. If your group is larger than 9 you may want to see if you can rent both the house and the tent.
