We stayed two nights and it was perfect for our time there. Host was great and communication was on point. Will definitely want to book with them again.
Decorations lovely, kitchen well supplied with necessities and some extras, host very responsive, area quiet and not far from the downtown. We enjoyed our stay.
We love staying here! The house is very family-friendly. Fenced yard. Playroom and TV room in the basement with very comfy HUGE couch. Great kitchen. Great location too.
Kiley was fantastic to work with - even tending to us while out of the country. The house worked great for the 5 of us with plenty of rooms and beds. The kitchen was one of the best-stocked kitchens we’ve been in with VRBOs! We arrived during a blizzard and the fireplace was incredibly nice to have then, and each morning with coffee. It was great to be able to pull into the garage at night with the bad weather. We’ll be back again to Ames and hope to stay again!
This was our second time staying here and we absolutely love it! The house is clean, comfortable, and kid friendly. We had a wonderful time and hope to be able to stay at this location for years to come. Thank you Kiley!
We stayed as a family of 4 during a recent college tour. The house is very well appointed with everything you’d need and is very clean and tidy. Bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for the 4 of us and communication with Kiley was great. Excellent neighborhood with coffee shop and restaurants nearby - would definitely recommend.
She’s thought of every item a guest might need. Beautiful comfy home. We were visiting family for a siblings reunion and spent most of day with them, but enjoyed breakfast and a good night’s sleep. Would have loved to have been able to use the basement area - maybe on another visit.
We enjoyed our stay here. Especially liked the movie room. We very much appreciated the reasonable, no-BS rules and the helpful instructions on the quirky stuff with the house.
Very clean and spacious property. Very affordable for our family of 5 compared to 3 rooms for 2 nights in a hotel. It was nice to have as all together and to ourselves.
We stayed at this property during a 4 day weekend in Ames. Everything was perfect! The property is decorated so nicely, and the neighborhood is quiet and very convenient to anywhere in Ames. The property manager was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this home. Great for families! We are planning to stay here again!
Everything was great. Kiley had everything you could need, it's like staying at your own house. They even shoveled the driveway every day, as it snowed each day we were there.Location is less than 10 minutes from ISU.If we need a place in Ames in the future, we will hope to stay here again.
Very cozy and well kept property. Kids had a blast in a well setup play room. Very thoughtfully decorated and plenty amenities. Communication by host was excellent. Thank you!
Everything was clean, well stocked, and as described. We enjoyed the space and the neighborhood was quiet. Kiley communicated well and supplied us with all the information we needed for the house, as well as tips for Ames.
Beautifully decorated and cozy home! The accommodations were 5 ⭐️…everything you need for a weekend/week away! Adorable house in a quiet neighborhood. Excellent communication! Would definitely stay again!
The home was very comfortable and a fun place to invite for a dinner some family who live in Ames and a granddaughter with a couple friends who go to ISU.
