3Br/2Ba near downtown Ames

AmyRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

We had a wonderful stay while in town for Iowa State graduation. It was so nice to have a pack n play for our grandson. Amy was very responsive and very kindly allowed us early access to the house which allowed us to get all set up before our whole family arrived. The beds were all comfy with nice bedding, bathrooms nice and quality towels and supplies. The kitchen had everything we needed. It was perfect for this weekend!

The Gathering House

ErikRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We needed a space for a family gathering and this was the perfect place! The house was clean, in a convenient location, and large enough to accomodate everyone for big group meals. The door code made it easy for different people to come and go, and the driveway was large enough for several vehicles. We had a wonderful time and would definitely book here again.

Downtown Renovated Charmer, near ISU

CourtneyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Lovely comfortable home. As described. Perfect for graduation. Very comfortable beds, clean bathrooms, and the backyard was a little oasis. The kitchen had the basics and as we didn’t cook at all was fine. There was no sugar. So if you put sweetener in your coffee be sure to bring your own. The Fareway is a short walk and we were able to go and get coffee sugar easily. Would definitely recommend this house and it’s location for events at ISU.

Cottage Off Campus-3bd/2b-Walk to Downtown AMES!

AmaroqRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We visited my hometown for a service honoring my parents, who died a few years ago. I wanted to stay in a neighborhood that felt representative to me of my childhood home and town. Big lawn, quiet, walkable neighborhood, on the east side of town, where my husband and I could daily see rabbits and squirrels inhabiting the lawns and trees around the houses. Near to downtown, easy to get to grocery shopping and cafes. This place was perfect.
