5 Bed 2 Bath/Modern Large Home

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 :)

It was easy to find, easy to access the property. The basement bedroom was alil scary. The upstairs bedrooms were nice and beds were comfortable. Limited cooking utensils and pots and pans, plenty of plates, cups and such. Plenty of towels and blankets. Was a pretty good overall stay for us for the week.

Nice place for reunion of 5 college friends. It was nice to have a bed for each of us. However, 2 of the beds were in an unfinished basement, basically a big open space. It would be very helpful if there was a bathroom (or at least a powder room) there. While the listing was technically correct, it was a little misleading saying there are 5 beds.. Overall, we had a great stay as the main floor was well furnished. Nice walk to nearby coffee shop.

Sam was great to work with. He replied to our concerns quickly. We were able to use the garage and that was a nice plus. We had eight people staying and plently of beds available-be aware there are only two bathrooms and one is located in the master bedroom. Wish there was a larger dining room table. All in all the place was very clean and we enjoyed our stay.

Beautifully decorated, comfortable, comfy beds, ALL appliances worked! Great location to University of Iowa and shopping. Would definitely stay again.

A+
