Fun Family Place with Extras and Space

This spectacular space is sure to check all the boxes!

Located in west Ames, in close proximity to Iowa State University, this twin home offers three bedrooms, two of which are en suite, perfect for privacy when traveling with colleagues, extended family, or friends. The third bedroom has a bathroom of its own just down the hall.

This house is surprisingly spacious! At just under 2,000 square feet, it provides room and style for everyone!

When mingling's the mission, there are two common areas to enjoy!

Upstairs you'll find a modern living room with seating for six, perfect for a quiet evening with a glass of wine and good conversation.

Downstairs is where fun is waiting to happen! The rec room includes seating for six in front of our 75" TV, a pool table, air hockey, foosball, classic tabletop PacMan, a youth basketball hoop, and a game table for four which, of course, is accompanied by a variety of games to play!

When you're ready for some personal space, each of the sleeping quarters has ample to offer and is equipped with its own 43" TV.

This house sleeps 10:

Bedroom 1: King (x2)
Bedroom 2: King, Twin Daybed (x3)
Bedroom 3: Choose your snooze! This room is customizable to best suit your group! It comes standard with two Twin XL beds. You may opt to have them connected to create a King instead! Just let us know which way you'd like the room set up for you! This room also has a bonus standard Twin bed. (x3)
Living room: Full sofa sleeper (x2)

Our warm weather guests may enjoy their morning coffee or an evening cocktail on our front patio. Then feel free to fire up the grill and enjoy dinner in our cozy back yard, where there is dining seating for 10, and additional casual seating for 8 around the fire pit. Both of these spaces are softly lit for hours of nighttime enjoyment. (Available May-October.)

Our cold weather guests may enjoy a stimulating seasonal sensation! Bring your bathing suit and plan to treat yourself to a soak in our outdoor 6-8 person inflatable hot tub! Sink inside and let the jets heat and massage you, while the crisp, cool air simultaneously invigorates you! Just sit back, relax, and let the bubbles float your worries away! (Available November-April.)

Great house!
7 moms stayed at this house for our sons fraternity’s Mom Weekend. The house was a perfect set up and all of the extras the host does is amazing! We arrived to donuts and an amazing coffee bar. It was great. The parking was a little difficult with 7 of us and having 1 parking spot and with Ames set up of alternating parking but we made it work. It’s just a little extra work moving cars. Would definitely recommend this property and would stay again!

Family & Friends Weekend
It was perfect for our family of adult kids and grandkids. Plenty of sleeping options and the entertainment room was a huge hit. The perfect setup to watch the Cyclone's Destroy Houston in the Big 12 championship.

Fun family house!
We enjoyed our stay here while we were visiting an Iowa State student. The house was clean! The whole family enjoyed the fun games in the basement! The beds were comfortable and showers nice! Gina supplied us with special snacks just for our stay - wow what a nice gesture!! My kids enjoyed the house so much, there were tears when we left. Overall good communication with Gina. I will recommend this home rental to other family members when they visit my nephew.

Visiting ISU student
The property was 4 minutes from campus and was such a delightful place to relax and enjoy each others company. The little extras, tea and coffee bar and snack options were so helpful. And unexpected! The young adults in the group enjoyed the playroom! (Ok so did my husband and I) Will definitely visit again!

We had a wonderful stay. Gina was so helpful and available for questions. She left us. A great breakfast spread that we weren’t expecting! The place was so perfect for the three adult couples to stay. We did notice the kids options available as well! Would stay again!
