Open Dinning & Living Room w/ 65 inch TV and electric fireplace

"Very spacious home close to many amenities! Highly recommend!"

"Large modern house, great space both inside and out. Nice fixtures and fittings (couple of minor things need a touch up) but overall wonderful! Comfy living room, beds comfy too. Garden and decking area great space to relax in. Host friendly and super responsive....also able to accommodate extra nights stay."

4-Player game with 4000 games to choose from! Golden Tee 2022 & Silver Strike!

"Our large group of 8 adults and 5 kids had tons of fun in the game room! Kids spent the entire time there. So much fun and things to do in that space! There are lots of beds and they were pretty comfortable. The kitchen is pretty small with minimal counter space and lacking in supplies. The bathroom setup is a little misleading, there is a full bath upstairs, tiny sink & toilet on the main floor and a shower and sink only in the basement which smells super damp and musty. One awesome feature is...

"This property lived up to its VRBO listing and reviews. It is clean,spacious, well-appointed, and well-stocked with everything from coffee to toothpaste. We had no problems at all. The party barn was perfect for a day after our son's wedding get-together. SO much fun! We would definitely rent again!"

"This house is in a great location and very nice. It was a great place for a girls weekend away for shopping. My only comment would be we didn't have the 6 chairs at the table like we expected. Great host!"

"We were meeting with extended family for Thanksgiving and need a place for 9 people (3 generations) to stay -- and this one delivered! The house was clean and beautifully furnished. The host was friendly and responded quickly to my questions. The kitchen was outfitted with everything we needed for meals and included the fixings for coffee and tea. Best of all, with five bedrooms, all 9 of us (3 generations) could stay in one place. The laundry facilities were a bonus! The location made it easy...

"We booked this property for an extended holiday/football weekend, and it worked out perfectly. The property manager, Gina was great with communications, and preparing the property to our needs with a toddler. On arrival, we were very pleasantly surprised by all of the amenities, food, snacks and toiletries that were stocked in the kitchen and throughout the home. The home was clean, well decorated and thought out. The games in the basement were a big hit with everyone. We definitely plan on...

"My husband and I rented this property to stay at while we traveled to Ames to celebrate the holidays with family and attend an ISU football game. Our kids and grandson were coming in from KC and Idaho, so we needed a larger home with room for gathering and celebrating our own little Christmas as well. We were pleasantly surprised by The Cove and would recommend! Safe neighborhood, relaxing atmosphere and proximity to Ames, Ankeny and DM areas!"
