Welcome to The Dahl House
Whether you’re relocating, working in the Des Moines area, visiting family, or simply looking for a comfortable place to call home for a few days or several weeks, The Dahl House was designed for relaxed, easy living.
This thoughtfully renovated Scandinavian-inspired home blends modern comfort with a quiet residential setting just minutes from downtown, major hospitals, corporate offices, shopping, dining, and interstate access.
With four queen beds, multiple living spaces, dedicated workspace, fast fiber internet, and a fully equipped kitchen, guests have everything needed for both short visits and extended stays.
While the home accommodates up to 8 guests, it is most comfortable for 4 to 6 adults. We are not an event or party house, making The Dahl House an excellent choice for guests seeking a peaceful, well-maintained home.
Extended stays are always welcome.
