Reviews
Plenty of things to do without leaving the house
5/5 We had 3 generations ages 4 to 64. Everyone had a great time and between the kids swing-set/fort, the party barn and all the outdoor seating areas we didn't have to leave for entertainment. It was a great place and the pictures were 100% accurate. Although there was shopping right around the corner, you feel like you're in the country. The drive was .20 of a mile long so you're set back in lots of trees. We saw quite a few deer in the mornings and at dusk; heard owls; heard frogs (the property has a small pond). Great place, we would go back.
Amazing
5/5 We stayed at Graceland for our state bowling tournament and boy what a place this is. We had 16 people at the house and it slept everyone comfortably and the game barn or the party barn was everything you need to enjoy yourself. We did have a couple of questions and host responded promptly and addressed a few items we had questions about. If you are looking for a place to meet up with some friends and enjoy a weekend or even a week retreat, this is your place. It is right off of one of the main streets of West Des Moines but the property sits back way off the road and you feel like you are in the country but you have everything you need a short few minutes away. We decided to have a taco night and we were able to go to Hy-Vee and a few other stores in less than 5 minutes. This place had deer running around on the property, it was just exceptional. There are a few items that needs to be attended to but what a wonderful place this is. We will be back this summer just to hang out and relax on a weekend.
Thank you to Brenda the host for such a wonderful experience and answering our questions that we had you were awesome and can't wait to stay there again.

5/5 Awesome property! Warm, large, & inviting! The barn was a huge hit for all ages! Comfortable beds, all the amenities one could ask for, and simply gorgeous grounds! Thank you for allowing our east coast family to unite with all of our Midwest siblings and their children!
