    We stayed here over Christmas with our large family and had a great experience. The neighborhood was excellent—quiet, safe, and very family-friendly. The fenced-in yard was a huge plus for our dogs, and the space worked well for everyone. This would be an ideal place to stay for a football or basketball weekend. We would happily stay here again.

    Great place to stay for an Iowa State football weekend! Location was perfect and the house had everything we needed for a comfortable getaway. Wi-Fi and big screen TV’s were fantastic. The amenities were everything we needed.

    Truly excellent experience!! Gorgeous neighborhood, friendly neighbors, clean home easy to access, very walkable to campus. We stayed in three VRBO’s in three different college towns and this one was the best of the three!! Great communication with property manager. This was a great experience.

    We chose this property for several couples to stay at before a wedding and it worked out wonderfully. There’s enough space in the driveway for two pickups and a car, and the porch was great for bug-free happy hours. The host was easy to contact with questions and very helpful. We had a great stay!

    Communication was so great and check-in/check-out was a breeze. We were there with 8 adults and the common space was great. Three bedrooms very spacious. The room with twin beds is a trundle in small room so plan accordingly. We loved the character of the old home and was updated nicely. Kitchen was well stocked. We would stay again if ever in the area.
