Loved it
What a wonderful stay for my family. We were able to all be together. Ate our meals together. Didn’t have to stay in a smelly, crowed hotel. Plenty of space for all to spread out. Wonderful house. Well stocked with necessities. Couldn’t have been better. Will do again when we all gather in Ankeny

Family time
We had extended family come to town from several different states for our granddaughter’s 1st birthday. This house was perfect to accommodate all of us from a newborn to 80 year old Great-grandmother. The house has a great open concept which allowed us plenty of room to all be together during the day and yet provided good privacy with bedrooms separated between levels at night. We will definitely stay here again! Highly recommend this home to anyone visiting Ankeny, Iowa.

Weekend stay with fiends
3 of my veteran deployment buddies and I get together each February to go ice fishing, but the weather just wasn't cooperating this year. We opted instead to stay at this property for the weekend, and enjoyed it immensely. We didn't do much besides BBQ, play cards, and shoot pool & darts downstairs (which was a huge bonus about the house!), just enjoying some reunion time together. The hosts were very accommodating and easy to work with, even allowing one of us to bring his service dog. The house was very clean and would 100% stay again.

Would stay again!
Jeff and Abby are fantastic hosts. Very easy to communicate with. It's been 4 years since our whole family has been able to be together. The home had everything we needed and so many good spaces for conversation, eating and entertainment. Would definitely use this home again and recommend it for anyone looking for something in the Ankeny area.

A beautiful house!!
If I could give this property 100 stars I would!! It is amazing!! We were in town for my daughter's wedding reception and this house filled every need!! We even had a sendoff brunch for family and friends and the space fit us all!! You will want for nothing in this house. Completely stocked right down to the comfy throw blankets in the living room. We felt like we were home. Great communication with our hosts!! We loved it and we're so grateful to have a house that felt like home!!

Christmas Celebration
This house was well located for my family coming in from Nebraska, Missouri, and northern Iowa. It was spacious, very clean and with great amenities. We were able to have a great Christmas celebration without being on top of each other. Also bonus surprise was the Christmas tree!
