4BR-2BA, Sleeps 12 | Ideal For Large Groups

It was certainly not a 5 star stay. From the garage door, microwave door, oven door, dirty table and crumbs on the couch that we experienced upon check in, it was pretty disgusting to find moldy coffee grounds in the coffee pot when I went to make coffee in the morning. There were also crumbs inside the corner cupboard. I understand you've had some destructive guests but the lack of cleaning really left a bad feeling. We would have appreciated knowing that we'd have to find a way to hold the oven door shut so we could make dinner. It was pretty frustrating.

The house was clean! Communication was excellent!! I would recommend a few things but none of them will lower my rating! Please check with your guests first before using a plug in scent device. When we arrived it was very strong and a bit too much. We are all sensitive to artificial scents. Maybe just open a few windows to air the house out while the cleaning crew is there instead? Thanks for the stainless steel cooking pots! Those are great. The addition of a tea pot would be very nice. And the house having ziplocks, Saran Wrap and Reynolds wrap would be great (there is a chance I just didn’t find them)! Also, I’m not going to lower my rating over this but I think having mattress pads and pillow protectors under the pillow cases would be a nice touch and they would protect your mattresses and pillows. Again, these are just my thoughts and didn’t affect the quality of my stay. We apprenticed the house so much. The location was perfect and we had a wonderful stay in Ames! Thanks for everything!

It was a great house!

The house was perfect to spend Christmas with family in Ames

The house was perfect for our family trip to cheer on the Cyclones! The host had amazing communication which was so appreciated!

Great property! Really nice and comfortable.

Everything was clean and beautifully decorated.

Outside of home, trees and borders were terribly overgrown and sidewalks were in very bad shape. Inside, house was OK. Generally clean, but the furniture and beds are rough. Don't try using the coffee table. Glass top, not secured on an incredibly flimsy base. Everyone complained about their beds being incredibly uncomfortable. Sheets were very old and pilled flannel sheets. Kitchen was ok and had enough for our needs, but the worst kuerig machine i've ever used. But worst, we booked this house at what I would consider a reasonable price for what and where it is (a decent drive from campus). However, it was a football weekend, and once ALL OTHER vrbo's were sold out, the owner then told use that we would have to pay 3x what we booked it for or he would cancel the reservation. I reached out to VRBO, they stated he claimed it was a software problem on his end, which we all know is 100% false. He pulled a bait and switch and left us with no options but to overpay for a subpar rental. Avoid this property owner as he has no integrity. I'm assuming i'm not the first person he's pulled this with.

Nice and spacious enjpyed it. Little to no nightlife in the tow. But the house was great!!

Host was very quick to respond to our reservation and inquires!

Property was clean and well kept. Only downfall was no on-site grill. Kitchen was fine but could use more storage containers for leftover food.

No problem with check in process however once we arrived - the home had not been cleaned and no clean bedding. We talked with the overnight contact who said they would send a house cleaner but not for 45 minutes & it was 11:00pm or we could go to another Vrbo with not enough beds. Neither option worked for our large group. We asked for a refund for our two nights as we had to make other arrangements. We were only refunded for one night.

We really enjoyed staying here! If we are ever back in the area, we plan on staying here again!

Had everything we needed

Clean house, nice neighborhood, nice furnishings

Very clean home in a wonderful location! Highly recommend staying here with your family! Every bed was so comfortable too!!

Great location and great place to get together with family for a home game! Three private bedrooms and a basement with lots of room for people to sleep. Bathroom space is somewhat limited for a large group but overall a very clean, nice place to stay. Would stay again for sure :)
