Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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 .

Summary: 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!
