House rentals with a pool

Terrace at Geneva - Pool, Patio, Fire Pit, & More
Hands down our best Airbnb experience ever. Had a large group of 10 family members stay for a local wedding. The house was the perfect place to hang out - pool, fire pit, game room in the basement, massive living room, kitchen and dining room. On top of that, the decor was amazing, the beds were comfy, and everything was in pristine condition. It's obvious the hosts have impeccable taste and have gone above and beyond to make the stay an amazing experience for their guests. Would definitely rent again!! Thanks so much!!

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

Travel Haven - 6 Beds, 5 BR, 3 Bath, Near I-35
This place was great for a girls weekend. The pool and deck area is a fun hangout.

Backyard Oasis! (Pool is OPEN for Summer!)
Tycha’s home was perfect for our group. Our only regret was that we couldn’t spend more time there! The home had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable. Everything was pristine! The pool was absolutely gorgeous.

Ames Countryside Oasis
This place was more perfect than I could of imagined. Location was great and house was beautiful. Had plenty of space for my 9 buddys and I. We all got along well with the owners and was actually pretty nice having them around. Id definitely stay at this place again. Worth the drive and money. Thank you!

Graceland Acreage w/ Party Barn!
The home is large and great for many people. The party barn was an amazing place to hang out with family and play games. The home and yard is very private, we saw deer running across the yard. The check in and check out was so easy.

Your Summer Retreat Awaits! Pool & Hot Tub!
We absolutely loved our time here. This place is a gem - 10/10. The host was very welcoming, had wonderful communication and went above and beyond for our stay. The house is incredible, the pool and hot tub were amazing and everything is maintained very well. I saw some reviews about there only being one bathroom with a shower, our group of ladies were aware and planned accordingly and it was no issue for us at all (there is more than one bathroom to clarify, just one with a shower). There are TONS of comfortable spots throughout the house to get ready. We had many plans to get out in Des Moines while visiting, and we truly just never wanted to leave the house, we were enjoying it that much. We are already looking for dates to come back next year. Thank you! <3

Ranchview Inn: Huge Kitchen, Sunroom & Pool
I cannot say enough great things about the Ranchview Inn & their management. From the "Welcome" farm fresh eggs to the management of the pool in a rare, deluge Thunderstorm; Mooney, Royce and Zach were so attentive! Let me share how we enjoyed this beautiful place! I actually live in Webster City. We hosted our daughter's wedding party at the Inn. We started Thursday evening with a family pasta meal prepared in the lavish kitchen. Starting Friday, the guys stayed in the lower level bedrooms with connected man cave and gals were on the main level. Both the bride and groom stayed and were able to maintain no contact on wedding day, assisted by the 2 entries to the lower level. Local Hair & Makeup artists arrived Saturday morning for the gals, utilizing the natural light in the Great Room. The guys headed to the golf course! After lunch, the wedding party dressed and headed for the church! (Yes, there was enough bathrooms!) You will not be disappointed with the Ranchview Inn!

Wildflower Riverhouse - Minutes From Downtown CF!
My wife and I came into town for a graduation and stayed five nights. The property was exactly what we were hoping for and more. Amazing walking trails, very close to downtown with bars and restaurants.. The view of the river was really the highlight for us, escaping city life for a peaceful riverfront retreat. The house was well equipped and we needed for nothing. Tons of space and friendly neighbors. We saw plenty of wildlife and watched boaters go up and down the river. We will be back and look forward to staying here for years to come. I was born and raised and the town and never saw this great riverfront location.

Japanese Oasis in Downtown Area
Garden area was a nice retreat. Loved the dog welcome wagon; so friendly and easy going. Great bakery within walking distance and close to downtown. Great coffee maker

Barndominium with Hot Tub on the pond.
We found this gem for a last minute getaway and it checked all our city escape boxes! The water was such a nice feature and having the boats available for us right there on the property was really nice. We can’t wait to come back again another time!

Songbird Hideaway
What a serene paradise! The setting was ideal, and the house was gorgeous!!! I truly did not want to leave.

The Draper-MCM Spacious Ranch minutes to it all
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.

Lake House Retreat
This beautiful home fit our needs perfectly for a multi generational 'girls' weekend. The pictures do not do the space justice. Impeccably decorated and extremely comfortable. Everyone had plenty of space whether we were cooking, eating or relaxing. The outdoor living space was our favorite. Mara was very responsive and accommodating. I would highly recommend this home and we look forward to returning!

Twin Lakes Family Escape
This place was perfect for a weekend get away! Nate was a great host and made sure to answer all questions and be super responsive. The location was great and the whole house was beautiful. We had a wonderful time!

Shade Tree Farms in Letts, Iowa
June Anne's place was absolutely beautifully! It was exactly as described, extremely clean and wonderfully decorated. It was the perfect place for us to stay while visiting family in the area. June Anne thought of everything. I would definitely stay here again!

A River House Near Sioux Falls
My siblings and I take a trip every year, they really love fishing so I had to reserve a house on the lake. Fishing was great, some fish weighed 8 to 10 pounds; This was our biggest haul ever. We caught buffalo, carp, and of course, catfish. It was like heaven. The Home was beautiful, beds were comfortable, plenty of extra lien and everything was clean. The kitchen was a common area, we cooked every day, breakfast and dinner. The island sat 8 to 10 People marble countertops, with great lighting that led into the living room. The open space allowed everyone to be seen collectively. We ate dinner at the dining table nightly, the eight seats accommodated everyone. Bedrooms were spacious, three full bathrooms, television’s everywhere all 4K. Did I say it was absolutely amazing. We are glad we selected this home and would love to revisit. Our host Holly gave great recommendations, guided us, responded expeditiously, and was very professional. I will give this 10 stars if I could.

G&C Acres, our Little Slice of Heaven in Iowa
Dear C and G, All four of us loved staying at your house. We were really impressed with the decor, comfort, and how clean everything was. The beds were so comfy too. The carpets were plush, soft. Unfortunately we didn't get to try out the hot tub. This would be the perfect place for a big family to stay. Wash machine came in handy, worked perfectly. Our favorite was hanging out on that giant front porch. Thank you again for the fresh farm eggs, much appreciated! So nice to meet you in person too!! We sure hope to come back. We did visit NewBo market, not big, but nice. I'm sure in the summer months it's more lively. We also visited the Czech museum, and had goulash and dumplings at a local restaurant. Cedar Rapids is a very nice town.

Family Lake Getaway
We came to Clarion for my Grandmother’s funeral and the home was a wonderful place to stay. It is extremely clean and organized. The lake was relaxing and while we didn’t use the kayaks, it’s a nice bonus if you get a chance to do so. Would absolutely stay again!

Timberpine Lodge - Escape to the Country
The home and yard was perfect. Our grandson loved the swing and play set outside. All of us enjoyed watching the birds on the enclosed back porch. The home is beautiful and secluded. A lot of seating throughout the main floor which was great for our large group. We could sit inside in the air conditioning or enjoy the back patio without bugs. It was perfect for our family vacation of three generations.
