The Retro Rambler

AnnaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

My friend and I stayed here for a birthday getaway, and it was absolutely perfect! The place was cute, clean, and exactly what we needed for a relaxing weekend. The host was incredibly accommodating—letting us check in early and sharing awesome recommendations for hiking spots and local food. There were so many thoughtful touches throughout the home that made us feel welcome and comfortable. We’re already planning to come back in the fall to do it all over again!

A small bathroom corner is adorned with two framed artworks. The top frame displays a detailed butterfly illustration, while the lower one features a floral design. A wicker basket holds rolls of toilet paper, alongside a small decorative tree with a candy cane accent.

Natural Nesting Grounds

BeckyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

The place was adorable and full of charm. Loved it! No microwave which was different for us but not a big deal. Ashley was very understanding and went out of her way to get us a new key as my husband lost it. Would stay again if in Boone!

Private room in Ames

Becki's - Spacious, Private, Comfy

LisaRating, 5 stars3 days ago

Becki's AirBnb is excellent! The pictures really don't do the place justice. It's basically the one bedroom apartment you wished you could afford when you were in college!!! Beautiful large bathroom with a jet tub and walk-in shower. As long as you aren't planning on making a Thanksgiving dinner the kitchen facilities have you covered (actually the toaster oven and microwave were better than what I had in college). Babies don't sleep as well as you will here as you can modify the temp and lighting to suit your needs. The house is in a charming, and quiet neighborhood, with a park and trails nearby. There's a deck, and a front porch in a beautifully landscaped lawn. Becki is awesome! Friendly and pleasant without being intrusive. I will never stay anywhere else when I'm in Ames.

A spacious living area is presented with two black leather sofas facing each other, surrounding a wooden coffee table. A stone fireplace is located at the back, complemented by a wooden cabinet and large windows allowing natural light to fill the room.

The Green House on Forest Glen

DaynaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We loved staying at the Green House. I needed to cook several meals and every appliance I needed was available and easy to use. Very pretty and modern, the decor and furnishings were top notch; comfortable chairs and beds. Also, no clutter or brikabrak, which is nice when you're trying to settle in. Now that this property has 2 1/2 baths, it is perfect for a very large group. The most enjoyable thing, was watching the wildlife through the picture window and patios available. We would recommend.
