About this property

Walk to ISU and Stadium with Fire Pit, Fenced Yard

  • Spacious, Family-Friendly Home with Game Day Perks & Huge Backyard!
    Beautiful and quiet home with old charm and modern amenities! Leave your car behind for a game at Jack Trice Stadium; meander to nearby restaurants or Iowa State University. There's a fenced yard and the doorbell has a security camera in the front of the house. Sleeps 8 comfortably. 4 rooms offer 3 queen beds, and 1 cozy room with a twin/trundle.


    Welcome to your home away from home in the heart of Ames! With approximately 1,600 sq ft of interior space and a large, tree-shaded backyard, this home is ideal for families, friend groups, or game day getaways.

    The Space
    Inside, you'll find a stylish living room with a 55” Roku TV, comfy sofa, and extra seating (ottomans double as stools). The dining room table seats the whole crew, and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need: cutlery, crockery, cookware, bakeware, and utensils.

    Bedrooms

    3 rooms with queen beds

    1 cozy room with two twin beds

    All feature memory foam mattresses, closets, hangers, and suitcase racks

    The primary bedroom upstairs has another 55” TV

    Bathroom Essentials
    Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, towels, washcloths, and makeup cloths are provided in both bathrooms for your convenience.

    Bonus Room
    Downstairs in the finished basement, you'll find a bonus space with a sofa, 55” TV, puzzles, and games—perfect for movie nights or rainy day fun.

    High-Speed Wi-Fi
    We’ve upgraded to the fastest internet in Ames, with boosted coverage to eliminate dead spots.

    Winter Ready
    A snow and ice removal service clears the driveway within 24 hours of storms. You’ll also find ice melt in the hall pantry and a shovel in the garage for extra peace of mind.

    Yard Care
    Lawn maintenance is handled weekly on Thursdays between 10 AM – 4 PM during growing season. Please ensure the yard is accessible.

    Backyard Fire Pit
    Enjoy evenings under the stars around the fire pit (bring your own firewood). A fire extinguisher is located under the kitchen sink for safety.

    Parking
    The driveway accommodates 2–3 vehicles depending on size. For game days, this is gold—street parking is limited and enforced, so check signs carefully.

    Laundry
    A washer and dryer are available in the basement (unfinished side).

    Security Notice
    There is an actively recording Ring doorbell on the front door and a recording bird feeder camera in the backyard for added security.
