About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
The Fox Den
A perfect wooded hideaway for someone who enjoys the stillness of nature & the chance to see foxes, deer, woodchuck, turkeys & more, while enjoying easy access to all the fun Ames has to offer! The Fox Den is a cozy efficiency apartment in a duplex nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac, just a short walk to downtown Ames (the library, post office, grocery store, main street shopping, farmers market, city parks, bus line & more), a brief drive to campus, many tasty restaurants, and easy access to highway 35.
The space:
Although this efficiency apartment is in a basement, the large windows keep the apartment feeling open and spacious. There is a stovetop, microwave and toaster for cooking your own meals, as well as a 3/4 fridge. You'll also have access to wireless internet, a patio, and fire pit by request. We specifically constructed the space with noise canceling features, but you may still occasionally hear guests above if there is someone staying in the upper portion of the duplex. At night, the path to and from the apartment is well lit for safe access.

Great spot in the back of the neighborhood. I stayed for the summer for lab work at Iowa State. Really great landing spot and would definitely recommend.
