This home worked great for us. We used to live in the area, and this house was centrally located to all the places we wanted to visit, especially Constitution Trail, and all our favorite restaurants. House was clean and comfortable, and the owner responded quickly to any questions. Would stay again.

Very impressed with the cleanliness. Unable to locate the "instruction" book so I sent Carly a message. She was very prompt to reply and answered all my questions. We did not experience any problems while there. Everything was "as advertised".

Overall a great stay! The owner was very communicative and helpful and the property had what we needed. My only complaint is that it wasn’t cleaned as well as I would’ve liked (bottle caps under cushions and lingering pet hair) and there were some old home quirks like doors that stick or don’t close well and uneven floors. However it has been well cared for and updated nicely and the owner was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed!

Home as listed

It’s an older home so very squeaky floors (which we knew as they were disclosed in the listing). The home had a fairly strong musty odor. Basement held multiple DampRid containers to try and control moisture/mustiness. Overall, the home was quaint and cozy.

Graduation weekend

My 93 year old father, my brother and adult children all gathered for my son's graduation from ISU. It is a charming older house with many squeaky floors. We enjoyed the screened in patio and breeze. The weather was beautiful, and the location was great. Short distance from everything. Highly recommend.

Clean!

The home was very clean. We did not travel with a pet but this was obviously a pet friendly property. The floors are very creaky as it is an older home. The location was good for visiting local friends and restaurants.
