Top Walnut Woods State Park Hotel Reviews

Baymont by Wyndham Des Moines Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Only wish the king rooms had a hide-a-bed rather than a chair"

Homewood Suites by Hilton West Des Moines/SW Mall Area

10/10 Excellent

"Thomas was very accommodating when checking in. The hotel had been completely full & staff were still cleaning rooms after 3 pm check in time. He apologized to us & gave our group water for our troubles. He advised he would stay on top of it & within 15-20 minutes we were in our room. Our only complaint was the kitchen floor was sticky, but could have been what they mopped with. Otherwise we had no issues with the room for our group. Breakfast was also very good & there were plenty of options. I would stay there again."

1-bedroom, 3 Gig-Fiber WiFi, timbered/view setting in WDM near RecPlex/DMU

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay in this beautiful secluded apartment. The views were magnificent. The grounds around the house was so green and lush for July.The bed was super comfortable. We had the best night sleep we have had in a long time. Very well appointed decor and was visually pleasing.Very close to shopping and many restaurants. Clayton was very responsive to all of our needs. He was able to answer all of our questions. He is a great host.We hope to stay here again in the future."

AMAZING & A PARTY BARN… HOT TUB, PL TBl, PNG PNG, & ARCADE! ACCESS TO POOLS!

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here as a family for a long weekend, 8 adults and 6 pre-teen/teenagers. We had a great time! We had ping pong & Jenga tournaments in the Party Barn and a firepit one night. The hot tub wasn’t working initially but the owner, Steve, responded promptly with a repair man who spent many hours working on it. Rained one day but we watched TV on the big sectional couch, did puzzles, played arcade games in the party room & video games on the basement TV. The teenagers thought initially the cement-floored basement was “creepy “ but by the time they settled in on the comfy couches, played the video games they brought with them on the TV, played a little ping ping on the table down there & claimed the beds with their own blankets, they made it their own cousins’ hangout space. With the 2 bunkbeds, Queen bed, & couch they could all sleep there ( or NOT sleep as the case might be!) and the adults were separated from the chaos with our own rooms with connecting bathrooms (except the one tacked on at the back of the house). It would have been nice to have a basement bathroom but the small 1/2 bathroom connected to the kitchen worked out ok, the kids just showered in the bathrooms connected to the adult bedrooms. It takes a lot to accommodate 14 people and this house worked great for us! Pond isn’t great but the kids loved trying (un-successfully) to catch frogs and we saw ducks and several deer. Although in the city, the property is large and secluded in wooded area."
