What a wonderful place to stay in Ankeny! Our family, including our adult children, had such a great time together. The home was the perfect setting for game nights, laughter, and quality family time. The hosts truly thought of everything to make our stay easy and comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely love to stay here again!

We absolutely loved our stay at this VRBO. We were in town for my nieces graduation. The house was big enough for all 13 of us and a dog. Lots of different places together between the kitchen, living room and backyard. The downstairs game room and bar area was a huge hit. Plenty of place for all of us to sleep. Abby and Jeff were great to work with. They had everything we needed and the house was spotless when we arrived. We would definitely stay here againThank you!

This was a great home to gather with our family. There was plenty of room for all. The downstairs game room had something for everyone. It was a great space for quality time with family. We enjoyed the well-stocked kitchen to prepare our family favorites. It was nice to have use of the garage with the rainy weather. Abby & Jeff were quick to respond with information and answers to questions.
