Very comfortable property to stay at and very clean! Good central location as well for the places we needed to be! Hosts were very prompt in communication and came that same weekend to address an issue we had. Would definitely stay here again if we were in the area for another event!

Bachelorette weekend stay for six. It was perfect for what we needed, close to Ankeny activities. Everyone in our group commented on how nice this home was, very clean with everything we needed. We loved all that Ankeny had to offer and enjoyed staying in this nice, quiet neighborhood.

Iowa State graduation
We loved our short/quick stay in Ankeny. The home was an easy drive to Iowa State for graduation. There were many stores/restaurants nearby. The beds were all comfortable. The home had everything that would be needed. There are stairs to go to the bedrooms. We would stay here again if we are in Ankeny! The owner communicated well.

Great location for family!
We stayed over Thanksgiving and it was nice to have another oven and kitchen space to prep food (between my sisters place and this VRBO). No bedrooms on main level so consider that if you can’t do stairs. 3 up and 1 bedroom down. Rooms are nice and beds were comfy. Kitchen was well equipped with coffee and an iced tea maker! Utensils, dishes and everything you’d need. At the time of our stay there was a fridge in the garage which was nice. We would recommend this VRBO and would consider staying again in the future.

Family Wedding
This house was lovely and just perfect for what we needed. We were going to a family wedding and needed a house for two nights. We had our daughter, spouse and 3 grandchildren with us. The house had everything and more for a VRBO. I highly recommend this house. The kids were happy and so were we!! They had blankets, games, puzzles, great outdoor swing, grill, and everything we needed to make breakfast each morning! They made life easy for people traveling and making it feel like home!!!
