Home in Carlisle
4.85 out of 5 average rating, 20 reviewsQuiet Country home, nature & fishing -5min to city
We stayed here for my son's wedding. Very peaceful, private, and comfortable. Husband saw otters in the pond while walking the dogs! Deer in the yard both mornings. Comfy beds and lots of games if you have time for that which we did not unfortunately. I would highly recommend staying here! It is a very short trip to The Hive wedding venue too! Thank you for a great stay!

Farm stay in Indianola
5 out of 5 average rating, 62 reviewsCottage getaway; perfect for some relaxation
1,000/1,000! I travel for work and use Airbnb for all of it. I have stayed in over 90 Airbnbs and THIS, by far has been one of the best stays and I will 100% be back when coming through this area! Not only were the accommodations PERFECT from a comfortable bed, to a beautifully working kitchen and bathroom. The hot tub in the evenings was a delight. The thing that really did it for me was the experience. I am a HUGE advocate for fighting the companies in our food industry that are making us sick with their poison and I eat only whole food and farm to table. When on the road, I try and stay on or around farms so that I can connect with the locals and get food and Casey provided that on an amazing level! Had my fridge stocked with farm fresh eggs and meat from a local farm, AND even left a little homemade treat which was delightful! Its so refreshing to find wholesome good humans in the world and is a great reminder that we are all here just walking each other home. My kinda people/place

This was our second stay with Julie. Just like before, she was a fantastic host: responsive, kind, thoughtful, and accommodating. House was every bit as warm and inviting as we remembered. Great stay!

Space was perfect for us. We stayed in Des Moines and drove up to Ames daily for ISU graduation and this spot was perfect, nice and safe neighborhood. House was exactly as pictured and bigger than I expected. Great value for price and prime location.

Home in Grimes
4.8 out of 5 average rating, 20 reviewsSleeps 10, spacious home w/1 acre, 4 Bedrooms
We absolutely loved our stay! Jared was very responsive and had great communication from the initial booking and throughout our stay. The house is roomy with great spaces to accommodate a family or multiple couples. Jared gives his guests a heads up that the property is occupied by him and his kids when not booked (in case something is out of place) but all we felt when we walked in was a sense of a lot of love and fun exists between those 4 walls. We were welcomed with a card and chocolates which I thought was a nice touch. He also provides a binder showing and describing the location of appliances, extra towels, linens, etc. The backyard is amazing and if you have a basketball baller, the court has a free throw and 3 point line. Pretty cool. Also in the back, are nice grilling options that unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to use since our son’s wrestling tournament ran so late. However, my husband was happy with the charcoal options provided. 5 minutes to Ignit Facility!
