Convenience and Clean
Very clean, close enough to Des Moines but liked being on the outer part of Ankeny. Perfect for what we needed for the weekend and they were wonderful to work with. Answered any of our questions and willing to help at a drop of a hat. We’ll be back sooner rather than later!

Excellent property
We rented the property for family during the holidays. It’s beautifully decorated, very clean and well maintained. The layout worked well for the group. All rooms on one level made it easy to navigate. Location was excellent for entertainment, grocery stores and restaurants in close proximity. Walking distance to a park. Would definitely schedule this property again for the next family visit.
