From booking to communication Katie was wonderful to work with and very responsive! We were visiting for Iowa State’s Family Weekend. They thought of everything with this house. Having laundry detergent was a nice perk so we were able to do our son’s laundry instead of him having to do it at the dorm. They provided so many “extras” with this house. When we walked in we were even welcomed with fresh muffins and a coffee cake on the table. Thank you again for being wonderful hosts! We plan to stay again in the near future! Go Cyclones!❤️💛 ##### Stacey W.

I was warmly welcomed with a thoughtful gift of snacks, muffins, and ice cream! The spotless home had comfortable beds, clean and tidy bathrooms with easy access to essentials, and lots of plush bath towels. The shower had great pressure and provided shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Strong WiFi and convenient charging stations made it easy to stay connected. The kitchen was well-equipped with sharp knives, matching silverware, and a cozy coffee station. The basement was a comfortable retreat with a TV, and even provided a safe space during a tornado warning. Overall, a delightful and comfortable place to stay near downtown Ames and Iowa State campus. ##### Jeff E. Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laurie R. 29 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing house in Ames-Has everything you need! What an amazing gem! This fabulous home in Ames is the perfect place to stay for a couple people or a group. It was perfectly clean, and very well appointed. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, one full bathroom, kitchen and living room, and downstairs, a large TV/family room, a third bedroom and a laundry room in the finished basement. The sheets, bedding and pillows (two types of pillows to choose from) were very comfortable. The bath towels were the fluffiest I've had, and there was soap, shampoo, conditioner etc. for us as well. Simple entry code and lock for check-in and easy to get in and out. The area was nice and quiet. It was so nice that we had two TV/gathering/play areas - great for kids downstairs and adults upstairs! I wish the weather was warmer as we could have enjoyed the great patio and backyard.... next time. The kitchen was well stocked - good coffee area, fridge with filtered water and ice. Washer & Dryer was downstairs if we needed to do a quick wash. Overall, we were really, really happy with our choice to stay at Cy's Landing in Ames. What a perfect place for parents weekends, homecoming and other sports and school weekends in Ames! So much better to be together in one house, with a kitchen. Communication with owners was great - they responded right away. ##### Laurie R.
