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.
