Lovely cottage home. Clean and comfortable beds. Watch your head on the second floor. Bathroom was very nice. Good water pressure. Quiet area. Close to ISU but not noisy. We would stay here again. Owner…kitchen light dimmer wasn’t working.

We had a really great stay at this location! It was SO central to several restaurants, breakfast, and thrift shops. We kept saying, "Oh Wow! We could walk there!" The house itself was so clean and cozy. The upstairs stayed plenty cool in the 85 degree humidity of June and there were a couple little fans if you want the extra breeze! Some things we did not note from the listing were the lack of table to play games on and the lack of oven but we were able to work it all out with the fancy air fryer and the coffee tables. The supplies in the bathroom were all so thoughtful and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking. The outdoor area looked amazing with a spacious deck and bar area for grilling and the fire pit, but we ended up staying inside! This would be a great place for a family with kids to stay or a group of adults. Thanks for the great stay!

What an adorable and well appointed place. I feel like I’m going to steal some product and decorating ideas! Beds, linens and towels were soft and luxurious. What a gorgeous bathroom! Kitchen has everything you would need and the outside space is large for grilling and a fire. If you are a very tall person, be prepared to stoop a bit upstairs and getting into the shower. But there is plenty of room for six people. The neighborhood is not the cutest, but it is quiet, accessible, an easy walk to downtown and a quick drive to anything you need. We visited Iowa State and Ames for the first time and were charmed by everything we did, including this property. I see no reason we wouldn’t stay again. Thank you to the very attentive hosts for accurate information and communication.
