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.

About the host

Hosted by Abby & Jeff

Native Iowans who enjoy the outdoors, sports, and being around friends and family. In our free time we're watching Iowa State Cyclones athletics, enjoying the outdoors, or watching movies!

Why they chose this property

We love Ankeny! It's where we live, raise our family, and we want others to be able to experience all that Ankeny and central Iowa have to offer, with some midwest hospitality!

What makes this property unique

Our home has the perfect location for girls/guys weekends, family gatherings, vacations, and corporate travel, due to its convenient location in NE/Central Ankeny.

Easy access to I-35 and Highway 69 makes travel to Ames, Altoona, and Des Moines a short drive away. Central location to many attractions and entertainment!

Located on a quiet, low traffic street, in a peaceful neighborhood. Inside our home you will find it very spacious with newer appliances, an awesome game room, and an open floor plan.

We know that getting friends and family together requires space to spend time together (and occasionally time apart). You will find that there is no shortage of space in our home!
