Pet-friendly home rentals with a hot tub

Cozy Spa Home Close to Downtown
This house is really cool. We felt like we would find new things to look at each day. We thought the upstairs room was the coolest. We loved the shape of it. It was hot this weekend but the backyard has a wonderful tree shade so we were able to enjoy the evenings outside relaxing after a long day of working the convention. I would stay here again for sure. Side note - the Dinotopia book on the coffee table took me back to my childhood. Loved seeing that.

The Caddy's Cottage
Perfect location to campus (just a 5 minute drive). The house was clean and as described. No issues at all during our staty. We enjoyed the hot tub as well!

Downtown Ames Peaceful Getaway
fantastic getaway for my daughter's wedding party. conveniently located next to downtown so we were able to wander the shops and the venue of the bridal shower was also downtown. Keri was very helpful with any questions that we had or needs that arose.

Enjoy golf course views with hot tub and fire pit.
The house was all we wanted and more! The view of the golf course over the fire pit in the evening was awesome! We played catch in the yard and used the hot tub in the evenings. The mini golf course next door was a huge hit with my boys. All in all, a great place to stay, everything we needed/wanted, definitely recommend and we will be coming back to play some golf next time!

The Estate
Thank you for the great set up in your home for a fun filled family long weekend while we celebrated our son’s graduation. The home had a very large open floor plan which made for a great set up for our large family. They loved the huge sun porch with table and chairs, large backyard, hot tub, pool and we had a fire every night at the fire pit with s’mores. The home is clean and maintained well and it was easy to communicate with Hannah. Thanks so much for the great Airbnb!

Saylorville ~ Tesla Charger
The house was beautiful… probably one of the best and nicest Air bnb’s we have ever stayed in! The house fit our group perfectly and it was so clean and organized and it was very convenient to stores! The beds were super comfy! It was so close to our family that lives there so it made it a beeeze to go back and forth from their house! They had an awesome outside area where we actually hung out and played some family games at night under the lights! And we took advantage of the very nice hot tub on the last night! I highly recommend this place!

Victorian villa in the heart of Des Moines
Wonderful place to stay with a large family! We all felt comfortable and enjoyed the space together. The backyard is a wonderful bonus with dogs. Driving through the neighborhood, you wouldn't expect the privacy you end up experiencing at David's property. Felt safe with the home security options. And David was very proactive with communication, leaving my end of things to be simple. Highly recommend!!

Graceland Acreage w/ Party Barn!
The home is large and great for many people. The party barn was an amazing place to hang out with family and play games. The home and yard is very private, we saw deer running across the yard. The check in and check out was so easy.

Game Room | Firepit | 2 Master Suites | BBQ Grill
Garrett and Tiffani made their place feel like home. Perfect layout for our large family. Lots of fun things for our kids of every age to do. Plenty of space as well. The location was perfect. Quiet neighborhood but walking distance to parks and food. The hosts quickly responded to any inquiries and were great at overall information regarding the rental. We would definitely stay here again. My littles loved the red house. 100% recommend the house and hosts.

6bd/3ba Family Friendly Retreat
We had a great stay! The house was exactly as described. We had plenty of room for our large family and the beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the game room and the air hockey table. We will stay again next time we’re in the area!

Modern 3BR Getaway-Stylish, Ames
This was a great alternative to a hotel while in town for work. Very comfortable, clean and conveniently located, with a very fair price!

Fenced Luxe Home
The home is very clean and as described. Elaina is quick to respond with any questions and very helpful. There was an issue with our initial home we rented that was unexpected and beyond her control and she went out of her way to help us get into this home. We are very grateful for all she does!

Stylish & Comfy 4BR Family Retreat(Entire Home)
Great stay! Nice, big house, which was spotless and had everything we needed and more. Friendly and responsive host—let us check in early. Fenced yard was good for our dogs, and being able to park in the garage was nice.

Brick Red and Bed
We had such a nice stay! We loved the charm of the early 1900’s house while also really enjoying the fact that it was clean and fresh!

Quiet neighborhood! Walk to ISU & Jack Trice.
Trish’s place was just as described and she is an excellent communicator. One person in our group is allergic to down feathers and Trish went above and beyond finding appropriate pillows and ensuring we had all we needed. She was thoughtful and responsive to other queries as well. Thanks Trish!

Comfortable and spacious
The place is very convenient for our needs. It is spacious, well-furnished, and equipped with many of the necessities one would need. It's extra nice to have access to a garage to store our trikes.
Pet-friendly home rentals with a pool

7 BR 4 Bath 5,000 Sq Ft Home w/Gymnasium on 4acres
We were a group of 11 and Jody was very helpful with our last min plans after another AirBnb cancelled on us last min. This is a yearly even that we do in Des Moines and look forward to booking from him in the future.

Luxury in Downtown Des Moines
The place was conveniently located, very good size, and the price seemed reasonable. It did indicate that the evenings were loud with a bar/restaurant across the street, but we knew that going into it. We were very pleased with our stay. Thank you so very much.

Summer House DSM
Beautiful and comfortable home! This house is a delight with lots of charming details and amenities. The house offers plenty of square footage with multi-use rooms and spaces throughout. The pool was beautiful, clean, and so much fun. We were in town to visit our son for his college graduation from Drake University. This home made the weekend even better for our family to celebrate the occasion. The location is close to everything and the neighborhood is historic and beautiful. We would highly recommend this home to anyone staying in the Des Moines area.
