Cozy cottage in the woods

This brand new, one bedroom barndominium apartment is private, quiet, romantic and beautiful. It’s located 1 mile East of the Ankeny airport, so a quick drive to anything you want to do, but away from the hustle and bustle. There’s a brand new, super comfy king sized bed with black out curtain. Step onto the deck and take in the woods and pond sounds all around. Watch your favorite movie while soaking in the huge hot tub. There’s an electric fireplace that can even make a warm evening romantic and a fully stocked kitchen so you can enjoy your morning coffee. Even if the weather isn’t perfect, you can enjoy sitting on the comfy deck furniture under the covered deck with ceiling fan. We also have a propane heater in case there’s a chill in the air. We aren’t into fancy, but we love comfort and quiet in nature. If that sounds good-you will love our cozy cottage in the woods!

Perfect little get away
The pictures dont do this property justice it was so lovely and peaceful. Amazing touches around the place and high quality finishes/furnishings/appliances. They really put some heart into this place and the hosts though we didnt get a chance to meet them we so kind with a welcoming letter and cinnamon rolls!

Peaceful Get Away!
If i could give 10 stars i would! Cozy is definitely what it was. The location is very quiet and in its own area. The place itself is VERY beautiful. We definitely enjoyed the porch/patio and having the nature viewing experience. We loved the hotub and access to tv to just relax and enjoy time spent. This place checked off everything we were looking for. We wanted a cabin/cottage experience and something that was more off on its own but still close enough to town to go off and do things if we wanted to. There are other homes surrounding/close by, but when you are inside it doesnt feel that way. Its not loud, no traffic. The hosts are very kind, understanding people. Communicate well, and very hospitable. Would definitely recommend to family/friends, and definitely come back.

A Home Run!
My wife and I were in town for a long weekend of watching our grandson play baseball. We were tired of small, confined hotel rooms during our Ankeny visits, and wanted to try something new. A quick Vrbo search revealed this lovely little option, not hugely more expensive than a hotel, which ticked almost all the boxes we had: outdoor living space, hot tub, king bed, and privacy. We booked it. Finding the place can be a bit challenging, but the owner did a good job of describing the twists and turns to get to the property. Don't be fooled by outer appearances. Yes, the unit is inside a large metal building (which, incidentally, may affect your phones or phone data. It did mine. All good once I stepped out of the metal enclosure. But the unit has wifi, which helps). You will park alongside the building near the door (watch your steps on the large river rock that make up the driveway). Enter the code that the owner gives you in the door keypad and open the door. That's when the fun begins! This little place may not be the largest unit on Vrbo, but it's definitely bigger than hotel rooms, has all the comforts of home, and more than makes up in charm what it lacks in size. The outdoor patio, surrounded by trees, adds considerably to the square footage, and gives a wonderful place to relax. I could go on and on, but my review is limited to 1500 characters. Country living with city amenities just a few minutes down the road! We will be back!
