À propos de cet hĂ©bergement

Beautiful remodeled historic Drake Univ home minutes from downtown and all metro

Historic 1895 home completely remodeled with all new bathrooms and kitchen and original hardwood oak floors refinished throughout. Brand new kitchen with island seating and large dining table. Original fireplace with infrared insert. Walking distance to Drake stadium and Knapp center and all facilities. Minutes drive or even bike to downtown and all metro area. So central to almost everywhere in the metro and in a great neighborhood.
Just finishing up this remodel now with final touches so book early to be the first ones to use the beautiful space full of original character and updated features. I plan to continue to add to the property with additional touches as time allows.
This is a great space to entertain large family gatherings or multiple families and more bedrooms than most single family homes. Fun to imagine what life was like in this historic home back in 1895 in its original glory.

Huge dining table sits 8 comfortably and potentially more with provided extra chairs.
Peninsula/island has bar top seating for 3 or 4 more
Brand new appliances
All new paint and flooring throughout
Refinished original oak hardwood floors.
All beds and bedding and bathroom towels etc new.
Main Living room seats 10 comfortably and more room if extra chairs brought into the space.
Upstairs living room seats 4 comfortably and game room with TV and air hockey table and a wall. Mounted infrared fireplace.
Massage/heat powered lift reclining chair upstairs.
3 all updated bathrooms including one tub/shower others are shower only.

Outside enjoy a massive front porch with swing and stone table with chairs around. Also a grill is out front on a brand new patio with furniture.
Small front yard but enough space to play.
Drake University owned open lawn space they use for practice fields etc right across the street for public use to play field games or sports. I also have large portable tailgate tents and some tables and folding chairs that can be rented for $30 if requested before your stay.

Large parking lot in back of house for around 5 cars and another 6 or so can parallel park in the double wide long driveway. Alley access too for convenient entering and exiting or if bringing a trailer.

This was the perfect stay for family traveling in from around the US. Easy location for multiple airport trips, space for everyone to eat together, and large comfortable bedrooms. The play space for the 3 year old was more than perfect, with toys and books! We would stay here again. Thank you!

We were in town for our 30th anniversary, graduating from Drake. The house was perfect for 5 of us - bedrooms were comfortable and bathrooms were clean. Plenty of space to hang out inside and out - numerous Scrabble games on the front porch. Highly recommend!

Enjoyed our stay!

This is an older home but has been decorated and kept well. The littles loved the bunk beds, game room and many kid friendly extras!! Everyone slept well on comfortable beds and the house was very clean! We loved the amount of space we had and especially loved the large table that allowed us all to sit around it and visit! Our hosts were easy to communicate with and very friendly, I would suggest using the WiFi to communicate from the house if needed as I couldn't count on Verizon from there. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, would recommend it and stay there again!

Family Vacation

We really enjoyed the weekend that we spent at your property. The house has been remodeled very nicely with all the amenities. It was stocked very well with dishes in the kitchen and towels, and sundries for bathrooms and the outside. The house was very clean, and the outside porch was very usable, and had plenty of seating. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were clean and large.

Family Reunion

The house was very clean and had all the necessities. Near downtown for festivals and huge Farmer's Market. We had a very nice family reunion. Disappointed in not getting a refund for guests who were unable to attend. Originally pd for 15 guests and only had 9.

Bed shortage

The place was nice it was clean. The only problem I had was listing said there were two queens in the living space and there was not. There was just two sofas that did not pull out. So I was short beds, and one of our families had to go to a hotel. Bunkhouse occupied the kids, but as for my single adults that I thought I was getting separate beds for that became a problem. By the family leaving and going to the hotel that freed up the bunkhouse for my single adults.

A true home away from home!

This is such a special home! We had three generations together in Des Moines to celebrate a special birthday of our mother/grandmother, and were looking to celebrate some meaningful time together. We chose Ryan and Angie's house because it had flexible bedrooms to accommodate all 10 of us comfortably, but it has so much more to offer than just the sleeping accommodations. The living room and dining area accommodated all of us together, but there are also smaller gathering spaces inside, and a wonderful large front porch as well. This home is clearly a labor of love - Ryan and Angie have given a great deal of attention to all of the details. The bedding (mattresses and linens) were unusually comfortable; the little quirks in the floorpan were creatively used to add functional touches-like extra surface areas for bathrooms; plenty of empty storage spaces available in the kitchen and bedrooms; an adorable and well-stocked coffee/tea bar; comfortable, quality furnishings, a nice variety of pantry items and shower products for guest use. I could go on and on.... But for us, the home was a wonderful place for us to hang out, cook together, laugh, and relax together. It accommodated all of us in the living room sharing memories, and quiet conversations in the upstairs living room and the front porch. Ryan was quick to respond to questions and fix a small issue with one of the bathrooms. This is a wonderful home that is a great place for extended families to relax and connect!

We stayed here during our annual trip to the Iowa State Fair and Adventureland. We had 5 couples and 2 children. We had plenty of space for all of us, including bedrooms. There were even toys for the kids! We had plenty of seating at meal time and found everything we needed in the kitchen for meal preparation. The beds were so, so, so comfortable! We would definitely stay here again!

I enjoy restoring historic homes and remodeling them to maintain much of their original character in woodwork and custom aspects of their day while updating them enough to provide modern comforts and conveniences including all new kitchens and bathrooms. I always strive to restore and refinish original hardwood floors as that is one of the most amazing beautiful aspects of the older homes. I enjoy custom woodworking and bringing the natural aspects of woodworking into parts of the home with shelving and tables etc.

Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?

1895 mansion with all original hardwood oak floors that I refinished! Why not enjoy seeing this beauty and pondering this massive house back in its original glory as a single family home. And it is so central to everything in the metro.

Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?

Walk to any events on the Drake University campus. Enjoy a space that can fit everyone comfortably in the family or even multiple families.
