My husband and I stayed here over a football weekend to visit our 2 children. The home was exactly as described. We loved the location to campus and the kitchen was fully stocked. The home was very clean and the neighborhood was quiet and private. We loved the outdoor patio over the garage. We would highly recommend.

Grad school visit weekend

We had a wonderful stay in Ames! Everything about the weekend was perfect. The property exceeded all expectations. There was plenty of space for all five of us, the decor is clean and cozy and contemporary, and the neighborhood was quiet and calm and perfectly situated close to campus. The wildlife was just icing on the cake: we saw five deer multiple times, and two foxes, including one who slept in the yard for two days

Perfect Charming House

We came to visit my son for the weekend- the house was an older house that had some old features as my grandparents- like an indent in the wall where the phone used to sit and laundry whites in the wall. Everything was perfect and the house just oozed charm. One on my favorite places was the outside patio on top of the garage with string lights. Host was incredible and the house was immaculate. This is definitely a house you need to stay at- just a short walk to the park where we played pickleball all weekend long.
