About this property

Charming Franklin House: Close to Campus, Sleeps 6

Enjoy your adventure or quiet weekend away in Ames from our cozy home. Nestled in a quiet family-friendly neighborhood, it is just a 10-min walk to campus and a shorter 5-min walk away from the CyRide for a quick bus ride to/from ISU games. This home is ideal for relaxed Ames getaways, college visits, and ISU games! Enjoy on-site parking, 3 spacious bedrooms and a fully equipped kitchen.

Our house is a renovated mid-century 1 1/2 story home nestled into an idyllic neighborhood full of unique homes and history. This very functional and peaceful home is a great base of operations for everything ISU.

Guests are able to access each space of the home with the exception of the garage where storage of lawn care equipment is located. The newly restored basement (completely unfinished) is available for laundry use only. There is no useable living space or bedrooms located in the basement.

There are two off-street parking spots in the home's driveway. There is also ample free street parking in front of the home.

We would love the opportunity to host you!

We were in Ames to spend Christmas with our daughter. Check-in was easy, the house was just as described, and there was even a small, decorated tree in the living room! We enjoyed our time there and will definitely book again if needed.
