House vacation rentals in Altoona

I stay in a lot of airbnbs every year and I’d have to rank this as one of the best. Everything is clean, modern, and updated. Furniture is high quality. The beds are amazing. The neighborhood is also quiet and peaceful. I wish I lived at this Airbnb, my entire crew and myself loved it.

The perfect space for our family gathering. The downstairs entertainment kept everyone busy for hours. Very spacious and plenty of bedrooms and beds for everyone. Will most definitely stay again.

Great place to stay . Very roomy lots of couches outside space was great. Comfortable beds the kitchen was great. They had everything you’d need. Totally recommend this place.

Thank you sir for all your attention, a magnificent place

Great location...close to food, shopping and the RecPlex. Townhouse was immaculate and exactly like the pictures. Quiet neighborhood. I would definitely stay again.

Hannah’s place was perfect for a family reunion. Great combination of quality furnishing / appliance, and kid friendly activities.

This place was great for a girls weekend. The pool and deck area is a fun hangout.

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.

Very clean and comfortable

Beautiful home with a lot of special touches like snacks, full size shampoo, conditioner & body soap. Extra blankets, fully stocked kitchen with spices.

This little home was so perfect in every way. They had fun activities like board games and toys for kids. The kitchen was wonderful and had a few snacks in place, which was extremely thoughtful. We enjoyed the train going by (it wasn't very loud and passed by relatively quick). The bed was so comfy after a day of exploring Iowa! Overall, I really enjoyed our stay in Iowa. It felt like a like a perfect little home away from home. Now, I can't wait for us to come back to visit again!

This was our third stay at this wonderful place, and once again, it exceeded our expectations. Each time we return, it feels more and more like a home away from home. The space is always spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared, and the host continues to be incredibly welcoming and responsive. The location is perfect—close to everything we need—yet still quiet and peaceful. It’s clear the host takes real pride in offering a great experience. We are already looking forward to the next visit. Highly recommended!

Lovely and unique home with lots of space and floor to ceiling windows. Good outdoor space too. Very convenient to the airport and downtown Des Moines.

We loved staying in this lovely home! We had fun playing pool and ping-pong together as a family! It’s not far from a Costco where we stocked up on food for the stay! The beds were super comfortable, too! We’ll definitely be back! ❤️

We were super grateful to have a quick and comfortable spot for the night. We got into Des Moines very late and needed a place to stay the night during our travels. Despite contacting/booking very last minute, Debbie was quick to respond and help us get settled. It was a wonderful little space with everything we needed for the night. Very clean, comfortable, and decorated well!

My lady friends and I loved staying at this duplex.....2 bedrooms with 2 baths and a kitchen fully stocked. We enjoyed visiting in the living room and had a great place to park our car. Thank you for responding so quickly so we could arrive and get right in the home.

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.

We were able to meet Angela when we arrived. She was so friendly and explained a little of the history of the house. Angela allowed us to check in early and check out late, which we loved! She was wonderful with communication, even when our power went out! The garden areas were beautiful and the secret garden was a bonus.

Glad that we chose this place for an our a week long stay in Des Moines. New home , and we found everything we needed in home . Kitchen had lot utensils. Beds were comfortable. Host is very responsive, they live few blocks away . Though we did not have to contact them for anything during stay , it was good to know they are nearby and available to assist if needed . Very spacious yard and compound as well in a calm neighborhood.

Place really felt like home. I will definitely stay there again next time I’m in the area.

I had a wonderful stay. The house is so charming and beautifully decorated. The beds are very comfortable. While the house is small, it doesn’t feel cramped in the least. You have everything you need in a very workable space. If I need a place in DM again, this will be my first choice.

We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb! Communication before our arrival was excellent, and the check-in instructions were super clear and easy to follow. The home itself was absolutely gorgeous—spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed. One of our favorite features was that each bedroom had its own private bathroom, which made getting ready a breeze and gave everyone plenty of privacy. The layout was perfect for our group of six, and we especially enjoyed gathering around the large dining room table for board games. The game room downstairs was a big hit too, with a pool table and classic arcade games! The neighborhood was quiet, safe, and peaceful—ideal for a relaxing getaway. Small touches like the round ball ice cubes for our cocktails really stood out and were a fun favorite among our group. Having three TVs with streaming services was also a great bonus! We were beyond happy with our stay & would love to come back! Wish our weekend could have lasted at least a few more days!

Perfect place me, my wife, and our son to stay while in IA for a quick wedding weekend. The house was clean and the communication with Angie was great. The location was close to the highway, restaurants, and a nice running trail. Will definitely stay again if back in Des Moines.

We had a wonderful stay at Russell’s place in Des Moines for the Half Ironman! The house was spacious, very clean, and incredibly comfortable. It was also super close to the race, which made everything so convenient. Russell was great with communication and very flexible—we really appreciated that. Highly recommend staying here!
