About this property

Fun Family Place with Extras and Space

This spectacular space is sure to check all the boxes!

Located in west Ames, in close proximity to Iowa State University, this twin home offers three bedrooms, two of which are en suite, perfect for privacy when traveling with colleagues, extended family, or friends. The third bedroom has a bathroom of its own just down the hall.

This house is surprisingly spacious! At just under 2,000 square feet, it provides room and style for everyone!

When mingling's the mission, there are two common areas to enjoy!

Upstairs you'll find a modern living room with seating for six, perfect for a quiet evening with a glass of wine and good conversation.

Downstairs is where fun is waiting to happen! The game room includes seating for six in front of our 75" TV, a pool table, air hockey, retro arcade games, a youth basketball hoop, and a game table for four which, of course, is accompanied by a variety of games to play!

When you're ready for some personal space, each of the sleeping quarters has ample to offer and is equipped with its own 43" TV.

This house sleeps 10:

Bedroom 1: King (x2)
Bedroom 2: King, Twin Daybed (x3)
Bedroom 3: Choose your snooze! This room is customizable to best suit your group! It comes standard with two Twin XL beds. You may opt to have them connected to create a King instead! Just let us know which way you'd like the room set up for you! This room also has a bonus standard Twin bed. (x3)
Living room: Full Hide-a-Bed (x2)

Our warm weather guests may enjoy their morning coffee or an evening cocktail on our front patio. Then feel free to fire up the grill and enjoy dinner in our cozy back yard, where there is dining seating for 10, and additional casual seating for 8 around the fire pit. Both of these spaces are softly lit for hours of nighttime enjoyment. (Available May-October.)

Our cold weather guests may enjoy a stimulating seasonal sensation! Bring your bathing suit and plan to treat yourself to a soak in our outdoor 6-8 person inflatable hot tub! Sink inside and let the jets heat and massage you, while the crisp, cool air simultaneously invigorates you! Just sit back, relax, and let the bubbles float your worries away! (Available November-April.) Update: We opened the hot tub early this year! It is available beginning 9/12/25 for the 2025-2026 season!

This house offers driveway parking for one vehicle. Street parking is available for additional vehicles on an alternating side basis.

This house looks small from the outside but has a great amount of space. The hostess is a great communicator - always quick to respond. She also has nice touches - like providing a box of donuts, that was a hit!

This is the best experience we’ve ever had, both with the host and the property! The house is beautiful. The pictures online do not do it justice! The beds are super comfy. There were plenty of snacks and almost every amenity you could think of. Everything was super clean. The host was very quick to respond and was super accommodating to all of our requests! Will definitely be staying here again!!

This place was absolutely perfect and had everything we could possibly need. The only downside of renting from Gina is that she sets the bar so high, you’ll start believing all hosts put in the same level of care and effort she does.

Fantastic gem close to ISU

This property had it all! Clean, comfortable, lots of space to hang out as a family playing games and spending time together. Gina was the most generous host leaving special treats and lots of items to make our stay comfortable … more than at any property I’ve been to.
