Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Ames

We had a great stay! The house was exactly as described. We had plenty of room for our large family and the beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the game room and the air hockey table. We will stay again next time we’re in the area!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the accommodations were perfect and clean and the location was great, very close walking distance to historic downtown Ames. We would definitely stay here again!

What a find! Emily’s home was absolutely wonderful. She has thought of everything one could possibly need. It has been newly renovated and is in an ideal location in Ames. Emily answered our questions and was very willing to help us. This is a gem for sure. The best!

Although we only stayed one night, we were really comfortable here. clean, spacious and a kitchen that was very easy to work in. we made a nice breakfast for some local relatives and we were able to relax and catch up on the comfie living room furniture. Lots of cute touches in the decor throughout the house. while we didn't venture out to the yard, it is also spacious and well furnished for relaxation and play. Ella was flexible enough to allow us in a little early so we could get dressed for the funeral we came into town for. we were much more comfortable here than we would have been at a local hotel, for basically the same price. Exit instructions were clear, basic and easy. Thanks for a great stay, Ella.

Rose and Jim were very helpful as soon as we booked the air bnb! They were helpful in offering recommendations, ensuring we got in to the air bnb okay and making sure we were comfortable at the home! The pictures were amazingly accurate and had the best decor for the feeling we were going for! The kitchen was even well stocked with more than I expected to be able to find in an Airbnb!

Such a lovely little place. Tracy was just the nicest host with lots of thoughtful extras.

We booked Bre’s place for a college friends golf reunion. Great communication, clean, plenty of space and the screened in porch was very enjoyable! Would stay here again when visiting old friends/campus.

This was a great stay! The house was in pristine condition in a beautiful neighborhood. The house was spotless. Mitch's communications were positive from day one. He wanted to make sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend this host. A+A+

Great spot if you want a fun urban feel. So many great restaurants in walking distance! The views out of the loft bedroom at night were beautiful. Hello, Marjorie is a must check out if you enjoy a unique cocktail experience. Highly recommend!!

Not only was I completely blown away by the space but by Greg’s hospitality. Great conversation and the place itself has a lot of character as well! Really exceeded all expectations. Comfortable and clean! Can’t recommend enough!

Easy to find and exactly what we expected from the listing.

We enjoyed our weekend at Hudson Acreage. Comfortable beds. Clean bathroom. Felt right at home. Our granddaughter loved feeding the horses and goats and petting the dogs. Thanks so much for the hospitality!

We spent the weekend checking out ISU and the area. Jolita's place is very conveniently located on a main (but not particularly busy) road, making it easy for us to get anywhere we chose. The home is quaint and cozy, and suited us perfectly :) We look forward to checking out the neighborhood more when the weather warms up.

We were in town for a night and Daniel’s place was perfect for our quick stay.

Jon's place was excellent. We loved the small town feel, where we could walk and explore the area near where we stayed. The neighborhood was excellent, and we loved waking up to walk across the street for the Bricktown Bakery. His place was very clean and comfortable. The only slight issue we had was knowing what button to push after we typed in the code to enter the doors. Everything else was great. We would highly recommend, and would stay here again if we are in the area!

Wonderful stay! Stephen's place was exactly as described and loaded with books, dvds and comfortable furniture. It was just what we needed for the stay in DesMoines. We will definitely stay again when coming to the area! Thank you!

Excellent Stay at Angela’s condominium— I would have loved to stay a few more days to explore all the area had to offer, but it was a quick stop on a long roadtrip. The shower and Steam room was an excellent touch. I would stay again without hesitation.

Easy to get to abs clear instructions. Felt very safe. Would stay again for sure. It was perfect.

Very friendly host. The apartment has a lot of space, is very clean and easy to live in. When we come back we would love to rent this apartment again. Around the corner several good restaurants and a hyvee to get groceries.

Great location for Iowa state university graduation weekend. Close to everything.

Crystal clear instructions on how to get into the building and once you get in, it’s easier the next time. Had a small hiccup with parking, because of a race that had all the streets around the building closed, but Kyle gave us an alternative suggestion that worked out just fine. Everything was clean and exactly as described and shown. One of the most comfortable bed/pillow combos we’ve had!! Great location and walkable to everything we were in town for.

The condo was amazing. Well furnished and comfortable beds. Lots of room to spread out. The rooftop area was pretty. The only negatives are that there is no front door…the only entrance is a steep garage. I’m not sure I knew that. Also, the k cup part of the coffee station was not working and the garbage disposal isn’t working.

This place is the cats meow!! I the heart of downtown with great views, easily walkable to so many places you’ll want to go!! Clean, bright, well thought out decor, just sets this place apart from so many others!! Tons of activities, hot spots, excellent resultants, easily walkable!! Felt safe and secure!! Felt like home away from home!! We will be back!!

Great location, comfortable stay. Justin was very responsive and overall great host. Would recommend if you need to stay in or around downtown Des Moines.
