Butler House was a very comfortable B&B, with good food and friendly, knowledgeable hosts. Our plans changed around a couple of times and they were very easygoing about our later-than-usual arrival time and changing our room to accommodate a cousin who happened to be in town at the same time as we were. The rooms (Greenwood and Retreat) were MUCH... more

This B&B is charming and the hosts are very accommodating. Breakfasts were fabulously tasty. All of the rooms have been featured in magazines and this is a former Designer Showhouse. The very old, but lovingly restored home offers a bathroom with each bedroom. The rooms are all unique. My group of 9 friends were sooo comfortable. The house was great.... more

My 8 friends and I spent two wonderful days at the Butler House on Grand. We have stayed at several B & Bs and rate this one as the best. The rooms are comfortable and inviting and the breakfasts are delicious. Lauren and Clark, the owners made restaurant reservations for us and assisted us with other recommendations that made our... more

We just returned from a wonderful weekend in Des Moines at the Butler House. We had a fabulous room-- super comfortable and incredibly clean. The hosts were incredibly helpful in providing suggestions for activities, dining, directions, etc. I have stayed in many bed and breakfasts, but this was my favorite of all time! I can't wait to return. more

Ended up at the Butler House because all the major hotels were full due to the Iowa caucuses. What luck! For my taste, there is no better place to stay in Des Moines, period.

We wanted to see our old haunts, but also wanted to do something special for our anniversary. The two nights we stayed at the Butler House helped make... more

The Butler House is immaculate. We spent one night there while on our way to Omaha via Amana colonies. We were not disappointed! And I am PICKY! Clark and his wife (lauren?) are helpful yet do not 'hover' like other BandB owners you may have run into at other establishments. They upgraded us for free to the best suite room.... more

We just came back from a five day stay at the Butler House in Des Moines and can't say enough nice things about it. This is just a gem of a B&B. The rooms are beautiful, the breakfast was great, the location is fabulous, literally minutes from everything. Clark and Lauren were warm, thoughtful hosts who take pride in what... more

Stayed at Butler House a couple years ago, and enjoyed it immensely. Beautiful home, beautifully decorated, with wonderful service and hospitality. You would pay double the money for the same quality here in the Northeast. more
