The Butler House on Grand B&B is a beautiful old tudor mansion, located across the street from the Des Moines Art Center. The downtown area, the east village and Valley Junction shopping areas are just minutes away. Great restaurants are close by too. For a relatively small city, Des Moines has a lot of cool things going on. The Smiths... More

We frequent Butler House on Grand everytime we visit Des Moines and it is our favorite B&B anywhere! The rooms are fantastically clean and unique in decoration and design. Each room is a completely different experience but all cozy, comfortable, and relaxing. Lauren and Clark are incredibly hospitable - both friendly and respectful with attention to detail but never in... More

Situated on a gentle hilltop in Des Moines, this exquisite English Tudor inn, and innkeepers Lauren and Clark, offer heavenly hospitality! The Butler's Master Suite features gorgeous handmade furniture by Sticks, Inc. Each piece is unique, and the room could not be more luxurious. The breakfast was just delicious! We can't wait to return to Des Moines, and the Butler... More

My husband I spent our wedding night at the Butler House and loved everything about the B&B! The room was cozy and beautifully decorated. Breakfast was delicious, and the proprietors were warm and welcoming. Highly recommend! We will return!

Wow, what a surprise! I had read that the Butler House had been featured in magazines so expected a nice place but it was way better than I'd thought it would be. As an art teacher and artist I found the color, design and art at this B&B to be fabulous. Clark and Lauren were friendly and helpful. We thoroughly... More

I can't imagine why everyone else enjoyed this so much. We felt the proprieter was strangely rude from the first moments we arrived. Even our kids' eyes got wide watching the bizarrely cold manner of the hostess. This place typefies what a lot of people make fun of about B&Bs: scolding hostess and awkward tension in the air. The accommodations... More

I stay at a lot of B&Bs, and it is evident as soon as you walk in this place that these innkeepers really care about innkeeping. The building itself is marvelous. The room on the second floor was incredibly spacious - a great combination of modern art and historic features. The breakfast was wonderful - baked ginger pears, an egg/spinach... More
