Property is located in the uptown part of Ankeny, IA but only a 5 or 10 minute drive to all the new developments around including the TOAST wedding venue. The cute little downtown has a great pizza and ice cream place and a nice bar/restaurant with rooftop dining available. This is all next to an extensive trail system that goes thru the downtown so if you want to jog, walk, or bike you are all set. The property was as advertised and was very comfortable for our family (all adults) with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms upstairs and a half bathroom downstairs. Would definitely stay there again.

The house was perfect for our week with family. Had a wedding to go to and a reunion so we needed to make some food to take and share. This house was well stocked with cooking utensils so we were set! Only wish the hot tub had been a bit warmer.

Enjoyed our stay. Would like to visit the area again. Thank you for the memories!

The house was amazing and has everything you need. The location is great, with several eating establishments, and a farmer's market within walking distance.

This property is a real gem. It’s so clean and comfortable with just about everything you could need and expect in a vacation home. The location was better than we thought with the Ankeny Farmers Market on Saturday, and wonderful eatery’s & boutiques just around the corner. The owners are amazingly responsive to any and all of our requests and questions. Please don’t hesitate to rent this home, it made for a wonderful stay.

We were 2 small families in town for Iowa State graduation/commencement. The house provided us with plenty of room to gather & socialize, was clean, centrally located between Ames for the commencement & Des Moines for the celebration dinner. We were able to enjoy the hot tub in small increments because we over heated in the enclosed room too quickly! It would be perfect in cold weather though. If we needed to be back in this area we wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Place was everything we expected and owners were very responsive to any needs. Would recommend to others and for sure stay again.

We stayed here for Iowa State’s family weekend. Perfect spot for our family to gather and not too far from Ames to be able to spend plenty of time on campus.

This place has everything you need. The kitchen is very well equipped and the beds are extremely comfortable! The hot tub was a perfect addition! We would highly recommend this place for anyone!

We rented this space in snowy December and had a wonderful time! The giant hot tub was everyone’s favorite. We cooked happily in the well stocked kitchen and played board games, etc for 5 days. We would gladly rent this place again. There was one glitch: the wi-fi went out on day 3, but the owners responded quickly. It was a holiday weekend and we ended up not getting the internet back, but we didn’t miss it: we just went back to the hot tub!

The pictures of the property are accurate. The place is welcoming, warm and very clean. The beds are comfortable, and the house is located in a nice quiet neighborhood.

Got together for a girls weekend, house was clean and perfect for our trip and near shopping and restaurants!

This was a double booking no one knows how it happened. But it did. My party arrived 1st to location is only reason why we were told we got to stay. The other party arrived and their reservation was canceled at their arrival. They were upset with us. I reached out to owner who said not sure what happened you were their 1st. The code has not been changed other party revealed they stayed here before months prior and code was the same. . The owner did come it get code changed. In evening of 1st night. reached out to owner and VRBO. And asked for a discount for the stress and inconvenience I have reached out to VRBO twice and they state they will get back to me. No response as of yet. The house was roomy and comfortable. The 1st night very stressful. We only stayed two nights. Poor customer service responses

House was as expected. Great location and a ginormous hot tub. Perfect for 3-4 guys on a golf trip

Fun!

This house was so comfy and in a perfect location to be able to wander around in Uptown Ankeny. Also really close to the highways. I definitely recommend this place!

The property was clean, well maintained and roomy. The location was terrific, within walking distance of good restaurants, coffee shop and bars. It is also close to bike trails.

We had a wonderful weekend with friends and family from all over the country. Getting into the property was not exactly easy but we finally did but never found the garage remote. Several were disappointed that hot tub was so dirty it was unusable. Many were confused about entering the property since it was only from the driveway behind a fence.. Plenty of linens and bedding. Stairs made it a little hard for the elderly. Just FYI we did not stay on Sunday night. I think we left town soon after one on Sunday afternoon. We left part of a melon in the frig since it's a little hard to take that on the plane. Thank you for everything. We loved seeing Ankeny again after all these years.

The house was very spacious, clean and charming. Walking distance to lots of cute shops, restaurants and parks. The nice big Hy-Vee grocery store is right down the street. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are big. We will stay again the next time we are in town visiting family.

Our entire family enjoyed staying at this nicely renovated home. The hot tub was huge and provided a relaxing soak. Natalie answered any questions I had quickly and called to make sure our check in went smoothly. The location was ideal for us and we could walk to great restaurants and the downtown area.

Very cozy older home that has been updated. Everything we needed and really appreciated the fenced in yard for our small dog. Will stay again in the need arises.

This house was absolutely wonderful. We did a ladies staycation. The layout is great. The kitchen has just about everything you could need. The hot tub was great. The owners are quick to respond & great to work with. (No issues with the house, some of the people got Covid and we had to reschedule last minute). The only thing I can say would make it better would be thicker curtains in the master bedroom. I highly recommend this place. You won’t be disappointed.

We are special needs parents to medically fragile children and couldn’t risk being too far from home but still needed some respite time so we chose this place not far from us for a parent only stay-cation and I am so glad we did. We had a slight hiccup trying to get into the property, which the owners responded to quickly and had us in and settled, but after that small issue the stay was perfect. The owners were kind enough to help us add a night to the stay when we found we had extra child care. The house is cozy and CLEAN. Large enough for a family and well stocked. Plenty of space for a family to eat, watch TV, hang out. The bedrooms and bathrooms were nice sized too. It’s decorated nicely. But the real story for us was the bed (amazing), the primary shower (very nice) and the hot tub. Did I mention the HOT TUB? Love! I’m sad I am not still sitting in that hot tub. Big enough for a large group. We didn’t have any trouble using it or putting the cover back on but the cover is bulky because the hot tub is so large so it might be difficult for anyone who might have physical limitations. This property is close to nice restaurants /bars/entertainment and boutique shopping. We ate out all weekend and had a big variety of options. A movie theater/ bowling ally is close as well. But the house is also set up to cook and has lots of amenities in the kitchen. It also has a cute deck and grill but it was too cold for us to use that weekend. The house is divided up and has retail properties at the front. It wasn’t a problem for us. The retail business was super quiet and parking wasn’t an issue at all. They were not in the retail space past 5pm. The back yard is fenced and private. So relaxing. So glad we went. Would go again in a heart beat.

If they will have us, we would stay again. Lovely home.

I stayed at this house with my husband and two teenagers- 14 and 17. This house was so beautiful on the inside it had everything we needed. The house was right next to the trails and waking up each morning and walking was such a wonderful surprise! The hot tub room was so nice, it was so big! Would definitely stay at this house again next time we visit Adventureland.

Online listing for entry code was wrong. Property manager communication of entry code worked.

My college girlfriends and I used this property for our yearly get together. The house itself is VERY spacious, clean and comfortable. The deck was great for sitting outdoors and the hot tub is HUGE and if it wasn’t close to 100 degrees outside, we would have spent much more time in it! The owners were wonderful to work with and easy to get ahold of. The refrigerator was not working when we arrived. They were in touch with the maintenance man and made sure to get us some coolers and ice until it could be fixed. Highly recommended!!

Great place to stay especially if you want to bike! Trail head near house was wonderful!

Very good property. We enjoyed our stay!

Great place to stay! Home was located in a centralized location and close to everything. The swim spa was huge and was nice to utilize rain or shine because of it being in it's own room with many windows. The owners had fantastic communication and responded quickly!

We had a great weekend in Ankeny. Our kids ages 14, 12 and 7 had a great time! The hot tub is huge! Plenty of space for a family of 5 or more. Great communication with the owners. Everything you need is minutes away.

We had an amazing time, the kids loved it, as so did we! It was great to get away and relax for a weekend and your place was awesome ! Only thing is chlorine in spa pool was a little overwhelming! But we toughed it out of course!! Thanks for having an beautiful place for us all to enjoy!!
