Great stay!

Perfect location for visiting my son (ISU student) and attending the football game. Cottage by the Park was very clean and had all the essentials for our weekend stay. I would highly recommend!

Jolita was absolutely amazingly accommodating to us- when we arrived we could see the place just would not work for us. It seemed very clean, just smaller than what we wanted, and there is a tenant in a downstairs apartment. She allowed us a partial refund. It is near some beautiful parks.
