"The property is much cuter inside than the pictures capture. All the details were covered from towels through welcome snacks. Excellent communications from our hosts. On the old Lincoln Highway it is convenient to places from State Center to Ames. It evoked memories of the former roadside motels along the route that were made up of rows of single cabins and an office. We will definitely be back."
