The house was amazing- so many conversation pieces. We played games, watched movies and enjoyed the overall comfort of this home. Beds were very comfortable- bathrooms well stocked and clean!! Parking is great!!!! Highly recommend!!!
The property and location worked perfectly for us and provided a fun place for our family to gather at. The different rooms to hang out in was a huge plus for being able to do different activities together and separately.
The communication with Jana was fabulous!
Although I was busy my family really got to enjoy the property. The kids loved the theater area and learned to play chess. My husband enjoy to poker room and bar. All in all, the home was a great fit for our large family and the historical artifacts were nice to look at.
This property was a perfect place for my family to stay and friends too! All the history that is shown in that home was breathtaking! All the rooms were clean and ready for us! A great game room and bedrooms that were unique in their own ways!
This house has 4 bedrooms, two on the main floor. Extra showers and toilet in the basement for extra guests. Fantastic game room as well. The eat in kitchen was perfect for our parents to be a part of the food making process! Thank you for your quick response when we had trouble with the door!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Great Space for big groups
The house lends itself really well to a group needing flexible space! I brought a group of High School Speech and Debate competitors to town for their National Competition and there were eight of us total. With minimal moving things about, we all had our own beds and plenty of room. Game room off the kitchen was great for us!
Perfect location and accommodations for our group.
Perfectly located for our group activities. Fun get away with shopping and sports events. Great communication with the home owners! This was our second time staying at Walnut Place. Definitely will stay again.
Home was perfect for our group. Lots of room and things to do. Location was perfect for us. Off-street parking was very nice. Looking forward to staying again on a return trip to Des Moines.
We stayed here with my family of 6 and my sisters family of 7. Plenty of room and super comfortable!
The location is great, close to all kinds of fun stuff for the kids. Splash pad and Racoon river park right down the road.
Walnut Place is an eclectic getaway close to Valley Junction shopping. Our group of 4 had plenty of space for visiting and relaxing. The hosts were flexible and gracious, making for a pleasant weekend.

Very charming home.
Sisters weekend was a huge success and the home had everything we could have wanted.
This property is a great place for a group. The hosts are incredibly nice and allowed us to go in a few days later to grab some items we left. Their decor is also very fun and there's lots of spaces to play games.
Our family had a very nice, relaxing time at Walnut Place. Enjoyed the game room and patio. We'd be excited to come back and stay again. Easy communication with the owners.
