Wonderful stay! Communication with the Hosts kept us well informed about the house, about the entrance, about the surrounding location & gave us an easy feeling about being free to communicate with them for anything else. The house was immaculately clean, comfortable and welcoming. The house is actually 2 side-by-side rentals of which we never heard or saw anyone else. We would certainly return here as a very first choice.

ISU orientation

Fun two days of orientation at ISU. The location of this charming house was perfect! Close to campus and even closer to everything else we needed - restaurants, Target, HyVee, Starbucks. Great communication with the hosts. Really cute house. Thanks and hopefully we’ll be back!

Attn ISU Families!!

Found this when when looking for places to stay for my daughter’s orientation at ISU.Location is convenient, literally 1.5 miles from campus. Check in was seamless, the place, while cute and cozy, was equally comfortable and someplace that you wanted to hang out at after a long day. Hosts were wonderful about communicating and gave some great recommendations. I only got to try the Great Plains pizza (very worth it) but they had some other recommendations we would like to come back and try. The place is two units, I barely heard the other tenants. Everything was quiet. It is also right on the CyRide line, with two stops directly across the street. I felt comfortable outside and walking by myself, I can go on and on, but you should go check it out for yourself and let Ryan and Ashley take care of you during your stay!

Nice place, great location

Stayed here for 2 nights for a football weekend. The house itself is nice for its age. It is a side-by-side duplex - on occasion you can hear the people in the other unit walking around. But they were never loud or disruptive (you can’t hear them talking at all). The steps are narrow and somewhat steep, and awkwardly shaped at the top. If you’re traveling with someone who is very young or very old, that would be something to keep an eye out for. As for the location, it’s pretty hard to top. It’s a 10 minute walk to downtown restaurants/bars and a short drive to campus. There was a little hiccup when we checked in, but the owners responded immediately and had it rectified within 30 minutes or our arrival. We would absolutely stay here again.

Great Place!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay while visiting Ames so our grandson could tour Iowa State. Communication was quick and instructions were thorough. The house was fully equipped, and the attention to detail was appreciated. For example, there were multi-outlet/usb extension blocks in the bedrooms and in the living room, plus sound machines in the bedrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed for coffee/tea and there was even ice in the freezer. My husband was impressed with the frosted mugs in the freezer too! The beds were comfortable and AC worked well. Bathroom shower had great water pressure. We even got a welcome gift! We would definitely stay there again and will recommend it to others.
