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.

AMAZING - Highly Recommend!
House was clean and extremely comfortable. We were in Ames to attend ISU Graduation and opened the door to "Congrats Grad" banner which I found amazing. House is located in a quiet neighborhood short distance from campus. Easy check in and out. Plenty of room to relax and enjoy our stay. Five of us stayed and there was plenty of room for more and we were not on top of each other. We were on the run most of the time but looking around the house it had everything you need if you were to make all your meals there. Huge fenced in backyard with grill and outdoor table set - wish we would have had time to enjoy it. Wish I would have found this house earlier. Would highly recommend if staying in Ames.
