This place was fantastic. We came to Ames/Des Moines for the National Senior Games. The location is terrific. We could make it to the Iowa State Campus in minutes. The neighborhood is quiet and clean. The home is wonderful. The beds are comfortable, there is plenty of room, the kitchen is really well stocked with plates, utensils, pots and pans. It was nice to be able to use the garage. Kevin was very available and had excellent communication with us. I would highly recommend staying here.

Wedding weekend

We had family from Texas and one of daughters and son in law. The house was very nice. Large enough that family that wasn't staying with us could visit. The host supplied everything you could ever need. Over the top.

Great stay in Ames

We really enjoyed our stay. All of the beds were very comfortable and the host even included little extras in the kitchen and bathroom- in case you needed them. The host quickly responded to questions. We would love to stay again. Just a reminder to park in the garage or driveway, there is a no parking sign in the cul-de-sac.

Lovely place

This was a great place for a family gathering to see student at ISU and go to 7 Oaks for skiing. Ended up being 8 adults, 1 child. We all fit. The extra table and chairs meant we could all sit down for a family dinner. We had fun watching the big tv downstairs. They had everything we needed for a fun get together.

Concert weekend

Great weekend. House had tons of charm. Suited our needs well as we were in town for Jack Trice Stadium Concert. We appreciated the owners quick responses to questions. Also the unit had plenty of incidentals available which came in handy. Will consider this unit again when in the area.

Weekend visit in Ames

We were able to gather in Ames where one of our children attends ISU and our other's have also attended. We enjoyed a weekend of time together while visiting campus and just relaxing in Ames. The home was in a very quiet location just off Lincoln Way making it easy to get to the ISU campus. We had no trouble getting into the house and instructions were very clear from the host. The home was very clean and nicely appointed. The beds were very comfortable and gathering there to socialize, play games, watch TV etc was so much nicer than a hotel. The common areas were a little small, but the 7 of us were able to gather comfortably. There is also a nice fenced back yard for gathering in the summer months. I would certainly recommend this as a great place to stay in Ames and would gladly return again.

Family wedding

We stay here for a family wedding. My 3 kids and their families and my wife and I stayed here. Super backyard for my grandkids to play. Everyone had their own room and there was space to gather together. The host was super to communicate with and his responses were quick. We would definitely stay here again. 5 Stars!

Best VRBO in Ames

Unlike some properties, this home had everything in working order along with noticeable quality: very comfortable beds and bedding, plush towels, neat closets with plentiful hangers, clean, bright kitchen with nice dish and glassware. The amenities, including smart TV’s in each room, were carefully thought of, and the neighborhood was quiet and attractive. Would stay here again!
