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!
