Holiday houses in Templeton

This was a large beautiful home with a ton of character. We were in town for a wedding and wanted to stay together as a family instead of at a hotel so we could hang out after putting the kids to bed. This was an awesome house for our situation, having tons of beds/upstairs bedrooms. We were able to fit our entire family and separate the kids from the noise on the main level! We were so grateful to find this place that fit our needs perfectly. It was a very well taken care of place and made our stay work out perfectly!

Molly was a great host and very helpful when we had questions and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable for our family. Her home was very clean, the furniture was really comfortable, and the home was on an active farm surrounded by beautiful and peaceful farm land. The home is also only about 10 minutes to Adel which has a cute little downtown area with several resturants and only about a half hour to the West end of Des Moines which had a lot of shopping and activity. It was a perfect stay for us.

This pictures don’t do this place justice. Beautiful house. Very spacious. The outside was amazing. The views will make you think like you’re in Montana; prairie views for miles. The back of the house had 2 big decks. One with patio furniture and a hot tub along with three different grills. The downstairs had a fire pit along with furniture to enjoy the fire. The walk down to the river was as very enjoyable. A nice wide path you could even drive on. Overall this place was amazing and we will be back again.

house was great! we were in town for my daughter's wedding and our whole family had room to get ready and visit at the house! loved it!

The house was perfect for our family. Lots of living space, bedrooms , good kitchen, great parking space and easily drive- able to everything in the area .

Six friends met here for the second time - first time in 2021 (college friends who meet annually). We found it peaceful and comfortable. More wonderful memories for us!

Amy's home is cozy, comfortable and immaculately clean. The kitchen was well equipped except for a spaghetti serving spoon I needed, but I improvised. Our dogs enjoyed exploring the private, fenced in backyard. The stairs to the basement are directly across from the backdoor. When we first got there, we let our dogs into the backyard. In my dogs' excitement to explore the house, one of them leaped from the step on the enclosed patio straight across to the basement stairs. It was dark and I'm sure he thought he was running into a room instead of stairs. My heart jolted as I heard him tumble down the stairs. Thankfully, he was fine, but he had no further interest in the basement. The house is a short drive to Bellevue, where my husband had business for the week. I appreciated the desk from which I could work remotely. There are quite a few stairs to get to the front door and to keep in mind if you're bringing multiple bags. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay at Amy's Baby Blue!

Amber went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Her 100 year+ home is in a historic district of Council Bluffs adjacent to the Gilbralter Neighborhood Trailhead. Several of our family members took advantage of its proximity and went hiking during our visit. Her home is a mix of old and new - 19th and early 20th century craftsmanship, such as a beautiful central staircase, combined with 21st century technology such as WiFi, and numerous televisions throughout the expansive home. Fun amenities include a pinball machine and a treadmill for exercise. My family especially enjoyed competing on the pinball machine. Amber’s home was stocked with all sorts of treats ranging from muffins to a charcuterie tray. Whenever we had a question either about something in the home or some activity in the area, Amber was very quick to respond. I’ve stayed in numerous vacation rental properties. This one stands out in all the right ways. I would definitely recommend.
