4 Bedroom House in Ames

Conveniently located within walking distance of Walmart, several restaurants, and beautiful Ada Hayden Park, it offers quick, easy access to well-traveled streets, while remaining tucked away off the beaten path for quiet and privacy.
The property is legally a duplex. This listing consists of the entire main level of the house plus a bonus bedroom, half bath, and laundry room in the lower level. The other "half" of the duplex is the remainder of the lower level, and has its own private entrance and full-time, wonderful, quiet tenant. You likely never would know anyone was there!
This space has been modernly decorated throughout, and includes a living room with seating for 9, a spacious kitchen with a dining table with seating for 8 and counter seating for 2, four bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms.
Each bedroom comes equipped with a queen bed and TV. Three of the bedrooms are on the main level, and one is on the lower level.

In the summer, you can fire up the grill and enjoy outdoor dining on the back deck, where you can relax and take in the peaceful and spacious .80 acre back yard with the beautiful woodsy view!
Our cold weather guests may enjoy a stimulating sensation! Bring your bathing suit and plan to treat yourself to a soak in our 4-6 person inflatable hot tub! Tucked away in our back yard unheated cabana, our hot tub allows you to sink inside and let the jets heat and massage you, while the crisp, cool air simultaneously invigorates you! Just sit back, relax, and let the bubbles float your worries away!

Summary: This was no doubt the best VRBO experience we have had. Host Gina provided an array of welcoming items including milk, juices, fruit, donuts and bathroom amenities! The residence met all our expectations and the communication with Gina was excellent. Nearby grocers and restaurants made it even better.10 out 10! Thanks for hosting our family.
