Fun spot near ISU campus

The house was decorated in a very cute manner. It was very clean and located in a perfect spot near campus for our group of 9 girls. We would definitely stay again if our dance group travels to ISU in the future!

Perfect

My children and grandchildren were here to celebrate my husband's 80th birthday. It was a perfect place for them to stay. They loved it and said it was very nice and they were comfortable. It was close to us and it worked out so well. I received ongoing communication prior to their arrival and checking went without a hitch. Highly recommend!

Good spot for campus visit

We stayed here to go to an ISU football game, convenient and close to campus. The unit was nice and served our purpose, we didn't spend a whole lot of time there but the price was right for the amount of beds there were.

A step back in history. Other then the dishwasher and laundry, very true to the 1950s spirit. A great opportunity for the grandparents to reminisce and for my child to learn about the lifestyle at that time.
