The cabin was very clean and cozy. Close to Ames which was our reason for our visit. When we return next year, we will definitely see if this cabin is available for our stay.
We needed a one night stop near the interstate. This was a great option for us to do that. The place was clean and comfy. We had everything we needed for our short stay.
The cabin was cozy and clean. The host was very responsive. The hot tub on the listing is located in the host personal backyard in front of the cabin location.

Loved the picture above the bed showing old lincoln highway
Quiet, peaceful - and full of ammenities!The Host has additional properties... but this area was quiet, friendly, and worth the slightly longer drive to meet up with my family. I was so rested when I left!! The rainshower head and body spray wand were incredible! The coffees, microwave, fridge/freezer, and sink were wonderful to have. In addition, I got an evening in the hot tub (when it wasn't over 90 outside) and it was amazing. So relaxing and refreshing. I completely recommend staying with the Host!Final point - the bed... I usually have issues on hotel beds, as I have Fibromyalgia. There were no issues on my trip... I stayed 12 days and was completely knocked out and rested each night. Having the TV come out on an arm for directing it to the bed or couch was very helpful as well. I recommend the Cozy Nook or any of their other properties!
Cute place. Very neat and clean. We did have a giant spider buddy hanging out with us in the bathroom. But we kindly escorted him back outdoors. Great place to stay while visiting our daughter at ISU.

We apologize about the spider! Thanks for escorting him out. We'll double check in the future.
Thanks for staying!
The place was very well done and will taken care of. It is obvious the owners really care about the space. They even provided some welcome snacks, waters, K-cups. We had a very pleasant stay and it is close to Ames with lots of places to eat and literally next to a nice park if you have kids.

The property is much cuter inside than the pictures capture. All the details were covered from towels through welcome snacks. Excellent communications from our hosts. On the old Lincoln Highway it is convenient to places from State Center to Ames. It evoked memories of the former roadside motels along the route that were made up of rows of single cabins and an office. We will definitely be back.
This property is very clean and bright with both a comfortable bed and a pull-out futon. It is an easy approximately 1/2 mile walk to the old downtown area of Nevada. A friend and I went for a country concert and it was so convenient to just walk down the street to the cottage at the end of the night. It is so quaint and well thought out. It has everything you need - the owners even left some snacks and waters. It also had coffee for the morning. Check-in and out was extremely easy and the owners were very responsive to questions. I would 100% recommend this rental. Thanks for a great stay.
Fantastic unit, and a huge improvement for my needs personally over the place I stayed last time (different host, wasn't really their fault given the nature of their property, but they weren't super clear in advance about all the rules). Good air conditioning was especially appreciated here!My only issue at all was that the hot water runs out and turns cold very quickly when taking a shower, but I was able to work around that by only using the wand (and turning the water off entirely for parts of it). Not sure a super-high-flow (huge square rainfall type) showerhead attachment was a good thing to pair with what I assume is a relatively-small-tank, tank-based waterheater lol. :)This stay was great, and I will absolutely be booking with them in the future, highly recommended!!!
Very comfortable bed. Hosts leant us some chairs, which was outside the scope of the agreement and very appreciated. Great communication through the app.
Perfect midweek point for MN sister to meet KS sister for sister time. Great little place and we enjoyed the hot tub also! Lots of places to find good food within a 10 mile radius but kitchen was also well stocked for cooking a couple meals. Would come back again if we ever needed a place in this area. Over all 5 stars from the sisters!
Great place to stay for the two of us! Very clean and comfortable! Thankful for the coffee selections in the morning! Very kind hosts!

About the host
Hosted by Rachel Greene
I grew up in central Iowa. My wife and I love to go on adventures in nature including winter sports, hiking, biking, and aviation. We have enjoyed being Airbnb hosts for several years now and have had the privilege of meeting a lot of neat people through this great service.
Why they chose this property
We love the town of Nevada. It is such a friendly place. We have several walking trails, parks, and a lovely Main Street that features coffee shops, ice cream, and delicious cuisine.
What makes this property unique
We are 10 minutes to the bustling city of Ames(Duff Ave/Chick fil a/Walmart/Target) and ISU but yet have the beauty and quietness of small town Iowa. This cabin is a gorgeous getaway and the perfect place for couples to enjoy a relaxing weekend or a great place to stay during a work week.
