Ames House
We had a great time in Ames for our dance competition. The house was super close to Stephens auditorium and was everything we needed!

Perfect Accomodations
The property was very well maintained craftsman home. Plenty of room to hang out with our Iowa State students and of course feed them.
House was very close to campus that our students actually walked over to us! Can’t recommend enough!
