Kiley was fantastic to work with - even tending to us while out of the country. The house worked great for the 5 of us with plenty of rooms and beds. The kitchen was one of the best-stocked kitchens we’ve been in with VRBOs! We arrived during a blizzard and the fireplace was incredibly nice to have then, and each morning with coffee. It was great to be able to pull into the garage at night with the bad weather. We’ll be back again to Ames and hope to stay again!

We stayed as a family of 4 during a recent college tour. The house is very well appointed with everything you’d need and is very clean and tidy. Bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for the 4 of us and communication with Kiley was great. Excellent neighborhood with coffee shop and restaurants nearby - would definitely recommend.

She’s thought of every item a guest might need. Beautiful comfy home. We were visiting family for a siblings reunion and spent most of day with them, but enjoyed breakfast and a good night’s sleep. Would have loved to have been able to use the basement area - maybe on another visit.

Everything was great. Kiley had everything you could need, it's like staying at your own house. They even shoveled the driveway every day, as it snowed each day we were there.Location is less than 10 minutes from ISU.If we need a place in Ames in the future, we will hope to stay here again.
