We had a wonderful stay at this home in Ames, Iowa! The house was very clean and the neighborhood was quiet, friendly, and welcoming. The kids had an absolute blast with the game room in the basement, and the host provided lots of snacks and goodies that they loved. Overall, it was a fun and comfortable place for our family, and we will definitely be back!
We had a great time. The home was just the right size for our two family group. The donuts, snacks and coffee were a really nice touch. We agreed that we would like to stay here again next year for our annual winter reunion. Thank you
House was exactly as described. Host communication is excellent! House has everything needed for a getaway, food, extra blankets pillows, plenty of space for larger family, and tv in every room is nice. Would highly recommend.
This place was so perfect for my friends to gather for our Homecoming reunion. Plenty of room, great location, everything we needed and more!!! The host was amazing!!
The house was great for our kids who stayed there. The donuts were a nice touch to welcome them. They'd like to know the brand of mattress in the downstairs bedroom so they can get one. High praise!
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!!
The kitchen was amazing! Snacks that the Host left for us, coffee, everything you will need to cook.Felt very at home, quiet neighborhood, game room was great.If we had questions Hist would respond very quickly. We stayed 5 days and would stay again!
This is a great place to stay no matter what brings you to town! It's a great location, very spacious with so much to do. And has everything you need and more. The host is fantastic, with great communication and genuinely cares to be sure you enjoy the home. I recommend this rental with confidence that you will enjoy it as much as we did.
Great place for two families. Loved the game room downstairs, kept the kids busy. Great location, close to Iowa State. It was a great place for us! We will be back!
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.
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.
