We had a nice time enjoying the openness of the home. Everything was very clean and well maintained. Easy to talk with the host when I needed an answer to something
Great time! Great location! Clean, comfortable. If Texas plays in Ames again, this is where we will stay. ☺️
Our family had a wonderful 4 day stay at the Stadium Shadows home. Everything was as advertised on the website. The open floor plan made it an excellent social setting. The home is very well organized. The kitchen is stocked with a large amount of dinnerware, utensils, etc. and lots of incidentals in the pantry to help with meal prep if needed. We give it a five star rating and would not hesitate to book with Jacqui again!
We can't say enough nice things about the property and owner. The house was so unique and very cozy. The neighborhood was quiet and the perfect place for a quick visit with our Cyclone before classes started. Close to everything also! And Jacqui was amazing to work with!
Super neat setup and the owner was awesome to work with
This home is really nice. Great home for my family. Nice kitchen and open to the living room so we were able to cook and socialize. There were lots of games to play and the yard is really peaceful. I would recommend this home to anyone.
Beautiful house with lots of amenities. The kitchen was gorgeous and the home is full of space and comfy beds. Highly recommend.
The house was beautiful - and the front garden. Walking distance to coffee and steps to the university. Great spot to reconnect with family. The kitchen is dreamy for entertaining.
This is an amazing property. Our kids loved the swings and the playroom. The kitchen is amazing with very high end appliances. There was a lot of thoughtfulness and character in the entire setup of the home. The gardens outside were beautiful and it is very short distance to the Reiman Gardens which is a must stop during your stay. The listing manager was very helpful and friendly and checked in via text to see if there was anything she could offer to make our stay better. We have stayed at many VRBO's. This was our best overall experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Ames.
This is our second year staying at this property and we plan to continue staying at this property annually. EVERYTHING is great about this property! It has everything needed in the kitchen, plus outdoor seating and firepit to enjoy during our mother/son weekend. We have really enjoyed our time at this house.
We had a lovely thanksgiving in the house. The kitchen was wonderful for everyone to cook in.
Everything about the property was better than expected. This is the perfect base camp for a Cyclone football game. Kitchen is spectacular.
The outside was no clue as to the abundant open area inside. The open floor plan and extra large windows made it so spacious. Even tho we did not use the outside, I can see it being used during warmer conditions. Everyone enjoyed their stay here.
We were meeting up with extended family who live in the area. This was the perfect place for us to stay. It had everything we needed and the location was great! Our kids enjoyed the outdoor checkers and appreciated the decor. Will definitely book this one again.
Beautiful home with great amenities situated in central location to Iowa State campus.
We had a great stay! The place was awesome! Lots of room for guests. The beds were very comfortable. Im very big on pillows and there was more then enough comfy pillows to use. Very convenient location. We loved the science vibes, so many interesting details throughout the house. There was signs with instructions and QR codes throughout the house to show you how to use certain amenities which was pretty cool! Although we didn't really get to use it, the outdoor living area was amazing! Overall our stay was 10/10. We would definitely stay there again next year for Super Nationals.
Four friends visited their sons who attend Iowa State. The house has great outdoor seating to enjoy a spring day and plenty of room inside too. It was clean, well-equipped, comfortable beds, everything it states and no issues. We really enjoyed our visit and plan to repeat the trip next year.
