This property was perfect for our stay and, frankly, would be perfect for about any group.
The home is VERY clean, modern, and accommodating. The property owner did not skimp on anything, as there are toiletries, including all linens and even necessaries (i.e. toothbrushes). The upstairs has four bedrooms that each have at least two large beds in them (some have bunk beds) and each with private toilet (shared showers per two rooms but toilets were private and locking). You could sleep a whole soccer team in there if you wanted. The kitchen is fully stocked with any/all appliances, had a Keurig with unlimited coffee, and a large dining table that doubled for us as a computer workspace and work gathering. The living area has a very comfortable L-shaped couch that reclines and a huge screen TV. Perfect.
The basement is better than advertised. Another large bedroom in the basement with a full bath. The bar and game area was huge and had a full size fridge. More game than you could play! The Golden Tee was AWESOME, but our group used the game table, pool table, etc. There is also a large table and gathering space. Next there is a huge sofa with another huge TV. Unbelievable.
It is also worth mentioning the location that is prime for Des Moines. It is right off of I-235 the interstate that runs through the city and connects downtown to West Des Moines and other suburbs. It is closer to downtown, but the trip to the action in West Des Moines would be minutes, so it is really ideal.
I would stay here for any purpose, any group, and any reason. A concert downtown? Perfect. Sports events anywhere in the surrounding area? Perfect. Getaway weekend like we had with some work focus? Perfect. The size, accessibility, cleanliness, and accommodation is unmatched. This is the place to stay.
Finally, i will mention that I needed to connect with the owner in advance. He was prompt and was 100% facilitative of our request.
Dont stay anywhere else.
