Welcome to Cozy Heights Retreat, your home away from home in peaceful Windsor Heights — just 10 minutes from downtown Des Moines! This warm, periwinkle haven blends comfort, charm, and space for the whole family.

Enjoy 3 comfy bedrooms (1 king, 2 queens), 2 full baths with walk-in showers, and two inviting living areas — one upstairs off the kitchen and another downstairs with a large sectional and walkout patio. The fully stocked kitchen has everything you need, from a coffee maker to cookware, plus a booth nook, bar seating for 4, and a formal dining room for 8.

Step outside to two beautiful outdoor spaces: the upper deck off the den is perfect for sunbathing and morning coffee, while the covered patio below features string lights, a BBQ grill, and a large outdoor table for dining or relaxing in the fenced backyard. Families love the baby gear, board games, and high-speed Wi-Fi. The laundry room, free parking for 4 cars, and quiet neighborhood make life easy.

You’ll be close to Simon’s Restaurant, Valley Junction, and local shops — with downtown just minutes away. Clean, cozy, and inviting, Cozy Heights Retreat offers a peaceful stay where comfort meets convenience. 💙

We’re Tiff + Wilky — a DIY dream team with big hearts, calloused hands, and a passion for creating homes with soul. What started with The Love Shack (Tiff’s first home and ultimate fixer-upper adventure) has grown into a small but mighty hosting company right here in Des Moines, Iowa. Together, we manage a mix of short-term and mid-term rentals designed for comfort, connection, and a little Midwest magic. Tiff is a local realtor and real estate investor passionate about helping others build generational wealth through property ownership. Wilky brings years of hands-on experience in rope access and construction, turning our creative ideas into real, livable spaces. We believe hosting is about more than beds and Wi-Fi — it’s about helping people feel connected and cared for while they’re away from home. Ask us for local restaurant or brewery recommendations, or where to find the best coffee and hidden gems — we love showing off this community we call home.
