We stayed here for five nights as a group of 14 family members. We found that the house has 13 beds and a crib, but we were able to use extra pillows and blankets to make a 14th bed.
This is an AMAZING home! Very tastefully remodeled (and huge!), it is the perfect marriage of past and present. You can feel the history in this home, and read about it too, and many of the original touches have been preserved. Very well done.
We stayed here for a family reunion at Spring Lake, which is about 30 minutes away. Des Moines is also only about 30 mins away. This was the perfect property for us in all respects.
The kitchen is fabulous, the host Mindy is very helpful, the A/C provides respite from the heat, the wifi is fast, and the front porch was perfect for watching a night time thunderstorm. And there's a grocery store 2 blocks away, which we walked to several times for provisions.
You won't be disappointed!
