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.

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.
