We stayed here for my son’s university graduation, and it couldn’t have been a better home base for such a special occasion. The property was spotless, comfortable, and exactly as described — even better in person. Every room was thoughtfully prepared, and the attention to detail made the whole weekend feel effortless.The location was ideal, with easy access to campus, restaurants, and everything we needed. After long days of ceremonies and celebrations, it was wonderful to come back to a quiet, welcoming space where our family could relax together.The host was responsive, friendly, and clearly takes pride in maintaining a high‑quality experience. From the smooth check‑in to the well-stocked amenities, everything exceeded our expectations.We’re grateful to have found such a great place during an important moment for our family. Highly recommend and would absolutely stay again.

Really enjoyed the property. Clean and close to highway for easy 25-30 minute drive to Ames. Quick responses from host when questions arose. Plenty of parking for the 3 vehicles.
