Historic Valley Junction Loft

Experience all that Valley Junction and the surrounding area has to offer with this uniquely modern loft just steps away from local shops, restaurants and entertainment.

Access to the loft space is thru a door on Main Street where a SmartLock code is to be used. This door leads to an access stairway where the loft entry door can be found. Parking areas behind the building can be utilized for overnight parking. It is recommended to NOT park on Main Street overnight to avoid towing.

Historic Valley Junction is the gathering place that is the heart and soul of West Des Moines. A delightful mix of old and new, bridging generations with unique shops, vibrant events and a walkable hometown feel.

Enjoy a Valley Junction shop, restaurant or entertainment venue or reach beyond the immediate neighborhood to find a beautiful park and trails system, local breweries and foundries, governors mansion, art center and other unique sights and sounds. Valley Junction is also located a short 10 minute drive to Downtown Des Moines.

Very disappointed. Mildew and aged-water damage. I couldn't breathe well at all. Couldn't sleep. Checked out early. I had to find other accommodations.I did not receive a refund. I advise folks not to stay here, especially if you have any allergy problems at all with mildew.

A trendy little industrial style 1 bedroom in the heart of Valley Junction. Just as advertised. The neighborhood is for visiting, so the lack of amenities is a non/issue. A a few board games, and enough kitchenware to cook breakfast; is plenty for what you’d want to be there for in the first place. My 9 year old loved visiting the cats at Cats and Coffee down the street. The boutiques look lovely, and the State Fair was a short drive away (imo). A large spacious bathroom that seems to be necessitated by the building layout; was stocked with everything you’d want for a short weekend stay. I wish we’d been able to do the Valley Junction Farmer’s Market but we were not there for it. I’d imagine it’s an ideal rental for that event with a friend, or partner. The couch is adequately comfortable and sized for a child or small teen to sleep on. This is not a medium or small family spot unless you bring a blow-up mattress (maybe even he property could keep one in the hall closet). There is plenty of room in the great room for a slumber party in that context. I recommend this place fully if you’re a couple, and for small families with a minor caveat that it essentially only sleeps 3 comfortably.

Sweet place to wake up and go walk around

This was a great place. It checked all of the boxes and then some. It’s very clean! And the host has excellent communication. I would stay here again. Parking is great during the day. You have to move it though for the overnight hours. It’s available behind the buildings. So, there’s a little bit of a walk. Worth it though!

Great place to stay near Des Moines!

This place is so cute and comfy! I stayed for one night as I was visiting my son who goes to Drake University and it was only a 10 minute drive away. The loft is in an historic neighborhood with little antique shops and a really great restaurant across the street for breakfast- Mitzi’s. I will definitely stay hear again next time I come to Des Moines!
