My 3 friends and our daughters really enjoyed our stay here! We did a lot of shopping at the outlet mall and indoor mall and came back in the evenings to enjoy time together hanging out in the hot tub and watching movies. Natalie was wonderfully responsive and helpful. Thanks so much for contributing to our fantastic weekend!

Overall, the property was well-kept and served us well for our weekend trip. However, there were some hiccups in communication with the property manager and appropriate bedding for all guests. When we arrived at the property for check-in, the code that was provided to us did not work. We reached out to the property manager multiple times using the phone number they gave with no response. Ultimately, we reached out the Vrbo directly and they were able to provide the phone number of the co-owner of the property who was able to give us the correct code to unlock the door. Once inside, we realized that the two futons on the main level did not have any bedding. We had to reach out to the co-owner again who was finally able to get a hold of the property manager to tell us how to unlock the linen closet. We were able to find sheets for the futons, but no extra pillows or blankets so we had to share from the beds upstairs. While a slightly inconvenient start, the property is in a great location and all guests still thoroughly enjoyed the trip.

Property is located in the uptown part of Ankeny, IA but only a 5 or 10 minute drive to all the new developments around including the TOAST wedding venue. The cute little downtown has a great pizza and ice cream place and a nice bar/restaurant with rooftop dining available. This is all next to an extensive trail system that goes thru the downtown so if you want to jog, walk, or bike you are all set. The property was as advertised and was very comfortable for our family (all adults) with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms upstairs and a half bathroom downstairs. Would definitely stay there again.

The house was perfect for our week with family. Had a wedding to go to and a reunion so we needed to make some food to take and share. This house was well stocked with cooking utensils so we were set! Only wish the hot tub had been a bit warmer.

We were 2 small families in town for Iowa State graduation/commencement. The house provided us with plenty of room to gather & socialize, was clean, centrally located between Ames for the commencement & Des Moines for the celebration dinner. We were able to enjoy the hot tub in small increments because we over heated in the enclosed room too quickly! It would be perfect in cold weather though. If we needed to be back in this area we wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

We stayed here for Iowa State’s family weekend. Perfect spot for our family to gather and not too far from Ames to be able to spend plenty of time on campus.

We rented this space in snowy December and had a wonderful time! The giant hot tub was everyone’s favorite. We cooked happily in the well stocked kitchen and played board games, etc for 5 days. We would gladly rent this place again.
There was one glitch: the wi-fi went out on day 3, but the owners responded quickly. It was a holiday weekend and we ended up not getting the internet back, but we didn’t miss it: we just went back to the hot tub!

This was a double booking no one knows how it happened. But it did. My party arrived 1st to location is only reason why we were told we got to stay. The other party arrived and their reservation was canceled at their arrival. They were upset with us. I reached out to owner who said not sure what happened you were their 1st. The code has not been changed other party revealed they stayed here before months prior and code was the same. . The owner did come it get code changed. In evening of 1st night. reached out to owner and VRBO. And asked for a discount for the stress and inconvenience I have reached out to VRBO twice and they state they will get back to me. No response as of yet. The house was roomy and comfortable. The 1st night very stressful. We only stayed two nights. Poor customer service responses

We had a wonderful weekend with friends and family from all over the country. Getting into the property was not exactly easy but we finally did but never found the garage remote. Several were disappointed that hot tub was so dirty it was unusable. Many were confused about entering the property since it was only from the driveway behind a fence.. Plenty of linens and bedding. Stairs made it a little hard for the elderly. Just FYI we did not stay on Sunday night. I think we left town soon after one on Sunday afternoon. We left part of a melon in the frig since it's a little hard to take that on the plane. Thank you for everything. We loved seeing Ankeny again after all these years.

The house was very spacious, clean and charming. Walking distance to lots of cute shops, restaurants and parks. The nice big Hy-Vee grocery store is right down the street. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are big. We will stay again the next time we are in town visiting family.

Our entire family enjoyed staying at this nicely renovated home. The hot tub was huge and provided a relaxing soak. Natalie answered any questions I had quickly and called to make sure our check in went smoothly. The location was ideal for us and we could walk to great restaurants and the downtown area.
