Rod B. Dec 27, 2024 05:16:55 AM

Summary: We celebrated our daughter's graduation and Christmas with family that is spread across three states. The home is right across the street from all the Iowa State sports venues and the facilities are ready-made for large group gatherings. The kitchen was more than adequately equipped to support our group resembling more of a commercial operation than residential. Plus the large open space was perfect for unwrapping gifts and playing games. We had seven stay overnight with plenty of room for more. Beds were comfortable and we loved the retro look / feel of the decor. We'll stay here again in the future!

Brian S. Nov 25, 2024 05:28:44 AM

Summary: With a family of 6, traditional hotel travel is almost out of the question. VRBO is where it's at, and this place has it. It was the perfect place to celebrate all-state music concert with family and both sets of grandparents. Would definitely do it again!

David R. Nov 20, 2024 03:52:29 AM

Summary: My family and a few others with young kids spent the day here before a night football game. We had a great time cooking and grilling and really enjoyed the unique decor of the house. We were able to get about 6 cars in the driveway with some squeezing.

Anne M. Sep 16, 2024 04:50:51 AM

Summary: Owner is super easy to work with. We had a wonderful time and are grateful to have had such a comfortable and well-appointed place to stay!

Jordan H. Sep 3, 2024 09:10:40 PM

Summary: Rented this place instead of a hotel for the week and couldn't have asked for better accommodations.

Dale A. Aug 3, 2024 06:16:00 AM

Summary: The house is a wonderful venue for a family or group of friends to stay. Kitchen is large and open to a comfortable living space with large windows looking out to a patio with a grill, patio furniture and a table. The lawn was well groomed and several large trees (including a beautiful sycamore tree) shade most of back yard. Six of us stayed in the house, but we used the venue for our friends and family to gather for meals and conversation. Kids could play on the patio, swing set or down in the lower level for board games. Decor is unique. My wife was ready to move back to Ames if she could live in this house :). Host was friendly and most helpful in the few instances we needed her. Highly recommend.

Summary: We moved from Ames 5 years ago and came back to see friends and family. This was a great house for the us to be able to relax and enjoy Ames. Excellent location and great neighborhood

Willow N. Jul 1, 2024 12:28:39 AM

Summary: Great: Superb location for gathering and entertaining. The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped. The beds are comfortable. The yard and garden are beautiful, shady, and were comfortable during our summer visit. The zoned audio system was lovely for bringing some ambient music to the space for our family gathering. The home is quirky and fun without feeling campy. The hosts are helpful, friendly, and responsive to text and VRBO app communications. Not-so-Great: The outdoor furniture isn’t in quite as good of condition as the listing photos suggest, but it is usable. We failed to notice the kids' area access rules prior to booking. Visitors cannot use the kids' area without prior notice, additional contract signatories, and extra fees, which we only realized upon arrival. We were charged an additional cleaning fee attributed to a "stained duvet," stove cleaning, and “beyond-ordinary cleanup.” We were surprised by the fees since we felt we left the house in very good condition and only prepared two breakfasts on the stovetop. (We catered our other meals.) All the bedding is white, so you may want to keep suitcase wheels off the duvet and be careful to thoroughly remove any makeup before bed. The hosts communicated the fees clearly, but be prepared for some additional costs if you plan to cook in the kitchen or host a gathering. Overall, we were very happy with the property and would likely stay again. Thanks!

Kimberly C. May 28, 2024 06:15:02 PM

Summary: Our stay was fantastic! The ease of getting into the house was great. Be sure to download the app before arriving! The space we had was incredible! There were 4 of us…we each had our own space and bed. Love the windows to the backyard, so peaceful to see every morning while drinking coffee. And, wow, was the walk to the Jack Trice stadium super simple!! We walked the path and were there in 2mins. Thank you Jacqui! We made good memories!

Amanda P. May 25, 2024 02:17:00 AM

Summary: This property is EVERYTHING it is described to be and so much more. So clean, supplied, and unique! Jacqui is an amazing host. She is so responsive and informative. The house has an amazing history of all the unique items and decorations. It is not far from the campus. Definitely walking distance. I really just can NOT say enough positive praises for this house and host. ❤️😁
