We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The property was very clean, comfortable, and well stocked with everything we needed. It was also very easy to locate, which made our arrival stress-free.The hosts were wonderful about accommodating our two small beagles, and we really appreciated how welcoming they were to our dogs. The area also felt very safe and comfortable for walking them, even later at night, which gave us great peace of mind.Communication with the hosts was outstanding. They were responsive, helpful, and made sure all of our questions were answered before, during, and even after our stay.We have stayed at five other VRBO properties in the past, and this one was by far the best experience we have had. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Ames area!

Great family space

This was our home base for graduation weekend and it worked out fabulous. The home was well equipped and spacious enough for 3 couples plus guests who stopped by to celebrate. We took advantage of the fire pit and the cold weather to make some s’mores.

Vacationing with Great Friends

We stayed in this amazing property while exploring the Ames area and riding the Rail Explorers bikes in Boone. The house is beautifully decorated, well stocked and very clean. We had fun playing games at the large dining room table and enjoyed walks in the neighborhood. We had a wonderful time with great friends!
