You’ll Never Forget Your Stay At This Charming 1920s House In Iowa With Its Very Own Game Room
Is there such a thing as "getting away from it all" when you're in the middle of Iowa's biggest city? If there is, we found it in "The Cow Tipper". This unique vacation home rental in Des Moines is located in a 1920s house, but if you're thinking this is a simple, rustic getaway, think again. This sprawling house has a little something for everyone. With four bedrooms, it can easily sleep up to 10 people and is packed with amenities both indoors and outdoors that will keep the entire crew happy. There is so much to see here that you might be tempted to spend the whole weekend holed up - but then you'd miss the amazing museum and restaurant only walking distance from the house. We think it’s one of the best places to stay in Iowa, and we're pretty sure that after a night here, you'll see why!
The Cow Tipper might look like any other Des Moines home, but inside it's anything but.
This sprawling, historic home is equipped with anything a large group might need for a memorable weekend getaway, including a full kitchen, two bathrooms, and tons of entertainment options.
The four bedrooms sleep up to 10, and offer everything from convenient futons to a sprawling queen bed.
The highlight here has to be the game room, which includes a cabinet of one of the top cult favorite arcade games of all time.
The fun continues outside, with a massive fire pit perfect for cooking dinner.
And if the grown-ups want some added comfort, the hot tub is a great way to keep warm on cold days!
The Cow Tipper is in the heart of Des Moines, only a short walk from the acclaimed Des Moines Art Center, which always has unique exhibits.
The neighborhood isn't the biggest dining district in Des Moines, but it is close to one of the city's most acclaimed restaurants - Oak Park.
This high-end, farm-inspired restaurant is the perfect place for an elegant night out to celebrate the end of a memorable weekend.
