Great location, and fit our needs perfectly for 4 couples in town for the game. House was well appointed and was an easy walk to the tailgating area.The ceilings (and with that ceiling fans) are very low, so watch your hands when changing, and the shower heads are low, good to know for taller guests.Overall would stay there again in the future!

Great location great house

We stayed here to celebrate my son graduating from ISU. It was a perfect location. The house was just as advertised, it was very clean. Check in & check out were a breeze. The host responded quickly with any questions I had. I wish I would have found this 4 years ago - it would have been our go to place to stay.
