Spacious 5-bedroom house in peaceful Ames neighborhood just steps from campus.
Relax in this calm, thoughtfully renovated space nestled within a well established neighborhood. Just steps away from Iowa State University and Campus Town, this home is close to countless attractions.
This historic property boasts many elegant original features from the 1930s matched with modern amenities that will make even the most discerning guests cozy and comfortable. With 1 king bed, 3 queen beds, and 1 twin bed, this unique property is truly an upscale retreat. There is also a large, comfortable couch on the lower level to accommodate large groups. Enjoy the convenience of amenities like WiFi, a washer and dryer, and a dedicated office.
Start your day in the well appointed kitchen. Wether you want locally roasted ground coffee brewed fresh in your very own coffee station or have your eye on making a stack of waffles, we have you covered. Prefer someone else fills your cup? Check out Morning Bell Roasters or dive diner, The Grove, just a short drive away on Main Street.
Burn off some energy at nearby Emma McCarthy Lee Park via the secret south side entrance just steps away from your front door. Enjoy some pickle ball on the brand new courts or take a leisurely walk on one of the many nature lined park trails. Don't have equipment? No worries, we do!
In the afternoon, kick back on the large patio and enjoy the sounds of the Iowa State University Marching Band or the gentle songs of the campanile. Have a glass of wine, grill out, or play a board game with friends. If the afternoon suddenly turns into evening, don't worry! Cafe lights will keep the festivities going.

this was the best vrbo that we have stayed at the kitchen was filled with every thing we need everyone loved the patio in the morning to watch the deer and the fox and the evening the deer came out in the back the host took care of the problem with the front door in a very timely matter. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Grad school visit weekend
We had a wonderful stay in Ames! Everything about the weekend was perfect. The property exceeded all expectations. There was plenty of space for all five of us, the decor is clean and cozy and contemporary, and the neighborhood was quiet and calm and perfectly situated close to campus. The wildlife was just icing on the cake: we saw five deer multiple times, and two foxes, including one who slept in the yard for two days

Perfect Charming House
We came to visit my son for the weekend- the house was an older house that had some old features as my grandparents- like an indent in the wall where the phone used to sit and laundry whites in the wall. Everything was perfect and the house just oozed charm. One on my favorite places was the outside patio on top of the garage with string lights. Host was incredible and the house was immaculate. This is definitely a house you need to stay at- just a short walk to the park where we played pickleball all weekend long.
