Welcome to Callington Cottage, which is over a century old and completely renovated! Located minutes from the bike trail in Uptown Ankeny in a quiet, safe neighborhood with quaint shops and varied eating establishments within walking distance. Easy access to 80/35 and the Des Moines airport is only 26 min. away. Enjoy the English gardens in spring and summer. This listing is limited to female guests. You’ll love being minutes away from Des Moines yet enjoying small town life. I think you’ll especially enjoy the bathroom with English wallpaper, vintage tile and an antique washstand. The guest room has foam-topped mattresses and a garden view. Park in your own private driveway just steps from the front door. Keyless entry is available for your convenience. I reside in the upstairs of the home and will be available by phone or text. Just steps away from the bike trail, farmers market, playgrounds, tennis courts, and a myriad of charming shops and restaurants in Uptown Ankeny. The Prairie Trail shops and restaurants, state of the art theater and gathering spaces are just a short walk or drive away. Parking is just outside the front door in driveway just for your use. Biking on the trail is easily accessible with a garage to store your bike as needed on the premises. Feel free to relax in the living room, enjoy the dining area, soak up the sun on the sleeping porch or back deck.
