Downtown Ames Peaceful Getaway

Cute house! Great location right by downtown.

Place was very clean, and we enjoyed our stay.

House was well kept and had comfortable beds. Air conditioning was very cold. However the around the clock trains right next to the house was bothersome. I mean all hours of the day and night they fly by. Also there are people living in the basement so that was different. But they did not bother us.

Great property. Very clean, one of the cleanest properties we have stayed at and we have stayed at a lot of places over the last 4 years. Great location, close to everything.

Overall very nice place to stay with great communication from the owner. Didn't realize the duplex was an upstairs downstairs but really had no issues with that at all. Very clean and a nice little neighborhood. Definitely would recommend

We wanted to check out downtown Ames after visiting ISU, and this house is perfectly located, about a 5 minute drive to downtown, 10 or 15 to ISU.

Great location, very quaint and the hosts went out of their way to make it feel like a home. There were seasonal decorations everywhere as well as little chocolate gift baskets throughout the home. We saw deer right out the family room window every morning. Very comfortable and cozy.

Great property for a cozy stay near downtown Ames.

Place was close to campus, which is what we wanted as we were coming into town to visit our son. Communication with the owner was great. Trains close by were a little loud at night and we could hear the conversations of the people staying in the basement at times, but overall the place was great and we would definitely s

We had a great stay while visiting our daughter at ISU. The location was on a quiet cul-de-sac and close to campus. The kitchen had all the supplies to cook in if you wanted. We were pleasantly surprised with an outdoor hot tub which we enjoyed. Communication with the host was very responsive and friendly. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in Ames.Thank you!

We loved the house! Plenty of space, cozy, and had everything we needed. Perfect location as well being less than 2 miles from the campus, downtown, and restaurants. Communication from the owners was top notch and the check in process was a breeze. Highly recommend and plan to stay here again next time we visit Ames!

I had a great stay at the Downtown Ames Peaceful Getaway! It is a cozy home in a great location. Looking out the windows you would never know you were downtown but you are super close to the amenities that Ames has to offer. I would recommend to anyone staying in the area.

I chose this residence because I was allowed to bring my dog with me. But even if I wasn’t traveling with my dog, I would still choose this residence again. Excellent access by bike or bus to ISU campus. Friendly neighbors, safe walking areas good food downtown within walking distance. . It was a great stay, and my hosts were responsive and helpful. The house was perfect.

We loved it there. The house was perfect for our needs. Everything worked very well - new dishwasher, smart TV, excellent washer & dryer, comfortable furniture. We had everything we needed. The host, Keri (and her husband Derek) were wonderfully nice people. We enjoyed it so much that we’re planning on returning next summer .
