Late Summer Stay
I had a great stay at the Downtown Ames Peaceful Getaway! It is a cozy home in a great location. Looking out the windows you would never know you were downtown but you are super close to the amenities that Ames has to offer. I would recommend to anyone staying in the area.

Great place to stay when visiting ISU
We wanted to check out downtown Ames after visiting ISU, and this house is perfectly located, about a 5 minute drive to downtown, 10 or 15 to ISU.

Downtown Ames Peaceful Getaway ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We loved the house! Plenty of space, cozy, and had everything we needed. Perfect location as well being less than 2 miles from the campus, downtown, and restaurants. Communication from the owners was top notch and the check in process was a breeze. Highly recommend and plan to stay here again next time we visit Ames!

Comfortable stay with family
We had a great time at Keri’s place. Her and her husband were so attentive and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. Restful trip as we came into town to visit our college student for Easter. We even were able to cook Easter dinner there and enjoy as a family. Thank you!

Ames Iowa State Graduation
Great location, very quaint and the hosts went out of their way to make it feel like a home. There were seasonal decorations everywhere as well as little chocolate gift baskets throughout the home. We saw deer right out the family room window every morning. Very comfortable and cozy.

Ames getaway
We loved it there. The house was perfect for our needs. Everything worked very well - new dishwasher, smart TV, excellent washer & dryer, comfortable furniture. We had everything we needed. The host, Keri (and her husband Derek) were wonderfully nice people. We enjoyed it so much that we’re planning on returning next summer .

Place was close to campus, which is what we wanted as we were coming into town to visit our son. Communication with the owner was great. Trains close by were a little loud at night and we could hear the conversations of the

Great stay in Ames!
We had a great stay while visiting our daughter at ISU. The location was on a quiet cul-de-sac and close to campus. The kitchen had all the supplies to cook in if you wanted. We were pleasantly surprised with an outdoor hot tub which we enjoyed. Communication with the host was very responsive and friendly. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in Ames.Thank you!

Visiting ISU with my dog!
I chose this residence because I was allowed to bring my dog with me. But even if I wasn’t traveling with my dog, I would still choose this residence again. Excellent access by bike or bus to ISU campus. Friendly neighbors, safe walking areas good food downtown within walking distance. . It was a great stay, and my hosts were responsive and helpful. The house was perfect.

We planned a trip to Ames to visit family, as both of my parents (78 years old) are originally from the Ames area. Keri, our host, was incredibly helpful in providing additional details about the property before I finalized the reservation. My mom uses a wheelchair, and while the home is not ADA accessible (I could not find any ADA-friendly VRBO options in the area), Keri went above and beyond by providing extra photos so we could determine whether the space would work for my mom’s needs.We stayed for a week, and my parents were very grateful for the easy access into the house, the spacious primary bedroom, the large windows, and the wonderful walkable neighborhood. The doorway tight with a wheelchair as expected, but very managable, and the bathroom required some creativity to navigate, but overall it worked well for us.Derek (husband) was very receptive to a couple of our suggestions regarding grab bars in the bathroom, which could make a big difference for future guests with mobility needs.We have a few more Midwest trips planned, and this home will absolutely be our first choice. Thank you, Keri and Derek, for your hospitality!

24 hour train traffic
House was well kept and had comfortable beds. Air conditioning was very cold. However the around the clock trains right next to the house was bothersome. I mean all hours of the day and night they fly by. Also there are people living in the basement so that was different. But they did not bother us.
