House holiday rentals in Ames

I stay in a lot of airbnbs every year and I’d have to rank this as one of the best. Everything is clean, modern, and updated. Furniture is high quality. The beds are amazing. The neighborhood is also quiet and peaceful. I wish I lived at this Airbnb, my entire crew and myself loved it.

Great place to stay . Very roomy lots of couches outside space was great. Comfortable beds the kitchen was great. They had everything you’d need. Totally recommend this place.

Thank you sir for all your attention. Magnificent place

Thank you for the great set up in your home for a fun filled family long weekend while we celebrated our son’s graduation. The home had a very large open floor plan which made for a great set up for our large family. They loved the huge sun porch with table and chairs, large backyard, hot tub, pool and we had a fire every night at the fire pit with s’mores. The home is clean and maintained well and it was easy to communicate with Hannah. Thanks so much for the great Airbnb!

This place was great for a girls weekend. The pool and deck area is a fun hangout.

Beautiful and comfortable home! This house is a delight with lots of charming details and amenities. The house offers plenty of square footage with multi-use rooms and spaces throughout. The pool was beautiful, clean, and so much fun. We were in town to visit our son for his college graduation from Drake University. This home made the weekend even better for our family to celebrate the occasion. The location is close to everything and the neighborhood is historic and beautiful. We would highly recommend this home to anyone staying in the Des Moines area.

This was a phenomenal property! I wasn't sure before booking, due to the shared space aspect of the place, but it was not a problem at all. Even though the owners are on site (in the other, smaller house), they were unobtrusive. Jayden was very quick to respond to messages, and she was flexible with our requests. The space itself is a dream. The pool, hot tub, and fire pit are amazing. We also loved the amount of bathrooms and bedrooms on property. We had 9 guests in our group, but we never felt crammed at all. It was a spectacular stay all around!

I love the country life!! Add a pool and great weather, what more could you ask for! I grew up on gravel roads so that was another plus! Easy directions, comfy beds, awesome communication. May need to make this an annual event!

We enjoyed our brief stay in Ames. If you're looking for a place to eat breakfast/brunch, I definitely recommend Flipping Jacks. We're so glad Amy recommended it to us!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the accommodations were perfect and clean and the location was great, very close walking distance to historic downtown Ames. We would definitely stay here again!

The house is lovely and perfect location with walking distance to ISU campus as well as to the city centre. Having two bathrooms was a luxury. The host’s hospitality was excellent. We will definitely come back!

fantastic getaway for my daughter's wedding party. conveniently located next to downtown so we were able to wander the shops and the venue of the bridal shower was also downtown. Keri was very helpful with any questions that we had or needs that arose.

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.

We had such a nice stay! We loved the charm of the early 1900’s house while also really enjoying the fact that it was clean and fresh!

Trish’s place was just as described and she is an excellent communicator. One person in our group is allergic to down feathers and Trish went above and beyond finding appropriate pillows and ensuring we had all we needed. She was thoughtful and responsive to other queries as well. Thanks Trish!

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.

Very clean and comfortable

We only needed 2 nights but had to pay for 3--so it was a bit pricier than I would have liked, but we knew that when we made the reservation and the location and property were so perfect that it was still the right place for us. Jill was very helpful when we needed anything and we really enjoyed our stay!

Place really felt like home. I will definitely stay there again next time I’m in the area.

Destiny's place was quite and we felt at home. I would recommend this place when you are visiting.

Great stay! Nice, big house, which was spotless and had everything we needed and more. Friendly and responsive host—let us check in early. Fenced yard was good for our dogs, and being able to park in the garage was nice.

We had 16 people in for a family wedding, and it was fantastic to be able to stay comfortably in one place so everyone could visit. Great accommodations with lots of places to visit in a great location with clear, kind, and helpful communications from our hosts. Great place to stay.

The place is very convenient for our needs. It is spacious, well-furnished, and equipped with many of the necessities one would need. It's extra nice to have access to a garage to store our trikes.

The house was beautiful… probably one of the best and nicest Air bnb’s we have ever stayed in! The house fit our group perfectly and it was so clean and organized and it was very convenient to stores! The beds were super comfy! It was so close to our family that lives there so it made it a beeeze to go back and forth from their house! They had an awesome outside area where we actually hung out and played some family games at night under the lights! And we took advantage of the very nice hot tub on the last night! I highly recommend this place!
