Great location for family game day gathering weekend!
This house is super cute and in a perfect location for staying in Ames during a ISU football game weekend. It was clean, looks exactly as pictured, is on a quiet street, comfortable beds, plenty of space for our extended family group of 9 adults. The only thing to be mindful of is the temperature control, specifically upstairs. It's an older house, so it's to be expected, but all upstairs rooms were a sauna, regardless of what temperature we set the thermostat, then depending on how low we set it, the main floor was chilly. We ended up opening windows and keeping the fans on if we needed to be upstairs, but primarily when sleeping--in late November. That helped for sleeping! Aside from that, we had the best time staying at Krista's home. She was a great host, gave clear instructions and was helpful and responsive. The hot tub was a nice treat, too :) We would love to stay here again! Thank you!

ISU Reunion
There were five of us that stayed in this well located home. It was simple to find, and had a welcoming presence. It was a perfect place for a five women 50th reunion from when we started ISU as freshman! It was comfortable and accommodated all our needs. Krista was very easy to work with.

Great location to University, with lovely shade trees. Home was charming and clean. Overall very nice property. Had a couple of door handle issues which the property owner resolved. It would be better to have another bathroom upstairs, 1-4 ratio is a bit challenging.

Cozy & Comfortable!
Thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay at Krista’s clean and beautifully decorated house! Beds were super comfy. Plenty of towels and toiletries. Kitchen was well-equipped and really fun to cook in (new high-end appliances). Loved the little details in design like wall art with overhead lighting that added extra ambiance in the evenings. Krista was very responsive and check in/out went smoothly. Highly recommend!

SWEET CAROLINE SO SWEET
What a great weekend. Beginning with a perfect stay at Sweet Carolines. Check in was very easy, walking into a clean well-kept home. I also have a rental that is out of state, so comparing situations was nice. This home was so close to everything, a quick 15-minute walk to stadium was so easy not to mention the weather was perfect. Would definitely stay again and have already recommended to several of our friends that have kids at Iowa. Sweet Carolines did not disappoint :)
