Very comfortable, quiet stay!
Don’t be mislead by the age of the house; it was impeccably clean and organized. The neighborhood, though not centrally located for university access, was close to downtown and south Duff businesses plus convenience stores and several restaurants. The neighborhood was extremely quiet. It suited my needs perfectly.

New Year’s Get Away in Ames
Everything went smoothly. The check-in process was seem less. We enjoyed our stay and had no surprises. Everything was clean and the property owner was quick to return messages if we had questions. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property to anyone. We stayed in Ames and went to Seven Oaks each day to ski and tube. It was perfect and the property is close to many great restaurants. We had an amazing stay!
