Exceeds expectations!

Our gracious host provided excellent communication and instructions for this lovely home. The property was extremely well stocked, beautifully decorated, and comfortable. We loved the yard and the “bonus” areas of the house too. We found everything we needed, particularly in the kitchen. Looking forward to another stay at this wonderful property!

Comfy Home for Family

This home is nicely decorated, and worked perfect for family to visit college student in Ames. We had space to relax, cook a meal and hang out/game. The hosts have thought of everything and provided good instructions. I needed to light a birthday candle and wondered if I'd find a light. First drawer in the kitchen I looked in... included matches and lighters. Needed to plug in my phone at night and looked by my side of the bed... an extension cord was right there making an outlet handy. Relaxing in the living room .. lap blankets available to cozy up nearby.

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.

Wonderful Grad Weekend

We totally enjoyed our stay at Kiley’s place. Her communication before we arrived and after we got there was great. The house was totally as pictured in the listing. I was pleasantly surprised by the household supplies that were there (extra paper products, dishwasher pods, bath soap, etc). There was even extra smoke detector batteries which were needed during our stay. We had 5 adults and everyone was comfortable.The location was perfect for ISU graduation activities - centrally located and a coffee shop within walking distance! Would highly recommend.

Above Expectations!

Our stay was perfect despite a blizzard!!. Kiley was very helpful at all times, she was straightforward and clear regarding a couple of nuances, both of which were very minor items.The home was better in person than the pictures. We all marveled how the property was more inviting and functional than the picture depicted. We all would definitely recommend this home for our/your next Ames trip!

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.

A GREAT place to stay with kids!

This home is wonderful! There are toys and a playroom for little kids (my grandkids were very entertained), plus an extremely well-stocked kitchen. The host provided olive oil, spices, salt and pepper——items that are needed but often forgotten when going to a rental home. The home is VERY clean. The beds were absolutely comfortable with new linens and pillows. The host communicates very promptly and was very helpful. I recommend this house 100%.

Amazing stay close to ISU campus

We stayed here for ISU family weekend. We brought our daughter’s grandparents with and our mini dachshund as it is pet friendly. The home was spacious and impeccably clean. We all felt incredibly comfortable which led to our daughter staying with us for our two-night reservation. The neighborhood is quiet yet close to all local amenities and the university. We highly recommend this property and plan on booking again in the near future.
