I coordinated a stay for a small group of ISU alums who were attending a larger 50th reunion in Ames. This beautiful, comfortable, and immaculate property was the perfect spot for us! The host thought of everything from amenities to welcome treats, and two incredibly well stocked kitchens. We all enjoyed amazing sleep in very comfortable beds. We didn't have little ones with us, but this property had all sorts of items to create a comfortable experience for families. I've booked VRBO properties around the world and this was, hands down, the best experience ever!

My family had a great time. The house was perfect to spend time together. We played games together, had a fire in the firepit outside and grilled on the Blackstone.

We had an absolutely amazing stay! Your home is truly perfect. We’ve stayed in many VRBOs over the years, and honestly, this was one of the best experiences we’ve had. The house is darling, incredibly comfortable, immaculate, and had everything we needed. It was also so family friendly, which made our stay even more enjoyable.We especially loved spending the evening on the patio and enjoying the beautiful backyard — it was such a relaxing and memorable part of our trip. The communication throughout our stay was also outstanding and made everything so easy from start to finish.

The rooms were very clean. The basement was perfect for the kids to play in as there were toys for them to play with. There were lots of nightlights for ease when moving around at night-lots of extras that were greatly appreciated.

We were in town for an Iowa State football game and had an amazing weekend! This house was absolutely perfect for our bigger family. They truly thought through everything and made it an amazing place for us to stay. We loved hanging out in the basement and playing with the playground video game! Core memory weekend!
