Great place to stay for an Iowa State football weekend! Location was perfect and the house had everything we needed for a comfortable getaway. Wi-Fi and big screen TV’s were fantastic. The amenities were everything we needed.
Wonderful property, conveniently located with plenty of room. Beds were made, towels laid out - had everything we needed to make our stay easy. Highly recommend
We enjoyed a great weekend in Ames. The house was nicely set up and well equipped with everything we would need. The location was perfect to take in some events around campus.
Well appointed, comfortable home in an excellent location near ISU campus. We enjoyed our stay very much and the ease of booking, checking in and out and communication were very efficient! Will def be back!
LOVE this property and location. Quiet and great vibes. Walking distance to the Iowa State campus to the north and the football stadium to the east. It was a perfect home base for us this weekend. Could not recommend it enough for an awesome Ames extended stay expereince.
Communication was so great and check-in/check-out was a breeze. We were there with 8 adults and the common space was great. Three bedrooms very spacious. The room with twin beds is a trundle in small room so plan accordingly. We loved the character of the old home and was updated nicely. Kitchen was well stocked. We would stay again if ever in the area.
Amazing home! Stayed there with 4 adults. Great location and the neighborhood was quite. Kitchen was very well stocked and it was easy to cook dinner for the group. The home was very clean and well maintained. We felt at home! The owner Tricia was very responsive to questions. As the owner mentioned in the listing, she lives there when she is in town. Please be respectful of her home and treat it as if it were your own home. We will stay again!!
Truly excellent experience!! Gorgeous neighborhood, friendly neighbors, clean home easy to access, very walkable to campus. We stayed in three VRBO’s in three different college towns and this one was the best of the three!! Great communication with property manager. This was a great experience.
We chose this property for several couples to stay at before a wedding and it worked out wonderfully. There’s enough space in the driveway for two pickups and a car, and the porch was great for bug-free happy hours. The host was easy to contact with questions and very helpful. We had a great stay!
Visited Ames for Gal’s Weekend at my daughter’s sorority. This property is in a great location for access to all things Iowa State, safe and quiet neighborhood. Very responsive owner, made our stay easy and enjoyable!
