Comfortable and Spacious Five Bedroom Home

BarbaraRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Wendy's house was well furnished, equipped with all the amenities you could need for cooking in the kitchen, enjoying an evening in watching tv, or just relaxing in front of the fireplace. This house has you covered. For our family of 7 (4 adults, 3 kids), we had two master bedrooms to choose from (one in the basement, one upstairs), and plenty enough space for the kids to spread out in the great room, or their own private bedrooms with good sized beds. The kitchen is modern with a great aesthetic, and the house is well furnished with great decor. We love their style! We felt right at home in this cozy neighborhood, and our host kindly checked on us to ensure we were comfortable and to reach out if we ever had a need. We're repeat customers because this house has been great, both in the past and now. Coming back this year felt just as cozy!

Travel Haven - 6 Beds, 5 BR, 3 Bath, Near I-35

ShelleyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We were in town for a weekend wedding at the end of March. The quantity of bedrooms and sleeping space was great for my large family. It was nice to be able to park in the garage also. The location was easy to find and convenient for all of our wedding activities. The value was excellent- staying at a hotel with my large family would have been much more expensive and not as much fun, as we could all be together comfortably in the house!

This was an amazing option for us. We came to wrestle at a tournament but didn't have a lot of down time but when we did the girls had so much to do. The game rooms were amazing. Thank you so much for having us. Red Venom Woman's Wrestling Team

Ames Countryside Oasis

AnnaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I came to Jayden’s place with a few girls from my church to have a getaway weekend. This place was absolutely perfect! It was just as beautiful as the photos, the hot tub was an amazing size and easy for all 10 of us to enjoy. The whole place was the perfect size! The kitchen was a huge so we could make our own food, each bedroom was big and had comfortable beds so no one had to use an air mattress or futon. It was also in the country, so we didn’t have to worry about keeping neighbors awake, though we didn’t still respect the 11pm quiet hours. I did realize that there is a next door living space that the host lives in, but I don’t think anyone was home when we were there. All in all, if you are looking to have a getaway weekend with a larger group, this is the place to rent! Each of the girls couldn’t say enough how wonderful it was and such a perfect place to stay. I highly recommend!

Graceland Acreage w/ Party Barn!

KiyaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Colby’s Instructions were very helpful and clearly written it’s obvious he is very experienced. The house was beautiful plenty of space to sit, sleep, and eat and in a quiet spot. The amenities were great having a dumpster there was very helpful multiple fridges and plenty of parking. The barn was very cool my guests were not expecting anything like that, we all had a lot of fun and had no problems keeping the place clean and following the rules.

Sleeps 10, spacious home w/1 acre, 4 Bedrooms

ShelleyRating, 5 stars5 months ago
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!
