Cozy Studio Guest Suite

Welcome to our adorable studio guest suite in our family home, located in a quiet residential neighborhood of north Ames. It's just 2 minutes to beautiful Ada Hayden Heritage Park Lake, 8 minutes to Mary Greeley Medical Center, and 8 minutes to ISU.

The guest suite includes approximately 400 square feet of personal space and has a private entrance. With our convenient self-check-in, you will enjoy a private stay with no host interaction unless you happen to see us in one of our shared spaces. There typically is ample street parking available close to the house, making a very short walk to get to your car and off to wherever you need to go!

This property is a duplex, comprised of two separate houses. The first house is our full-time family home. We live upstairs and have opened up the downstairs garden level to guests. As with any lower level space, the ceiling is not completely sound-proof, so you are able to make out some footsteps and muffled activity from above during the day. During the night, the space is tranquil and offers a peaceful sleep. The second house is occupied full-time by an amazing tenant who is very quiet and respectful.

Our family includes a nine pound bundle of fur and love, who you may see or hear from time to time! There also is a sweet, middle-aged dog who resides in the second house, who you may see in the yard every once in a while.

The guest suite is perfect for one person, but can accommodate a maximum of two.

The bed in the suite is queen-sized, and has a very soft, comfortable mattress topper on it. If you prefer a firm mattress, this may not be the right fit. If you enjoy a soft sleep, this bed is for you!

For your entertainment, there is a 42” Smart TV, which includes Roku and Live TV. We are pleased to provide fiber optic high speed internet for your use. You are welcome to log into any of your own personal apps to use during your stay.

The 3/4 bath provides the basics, including a toilet, vanity with storage, and a cozy, modern tiled shower.

The suite kitchenette is perfect for your light, on-the-go cooking needs, and includes a refrigerator, combination microwave/convection oven, two-burner hot plate, toaster, and Keurig for your morning coffee. A small supply of glasses, coffee mugs, plates, bowls, utensils, pots, and pans round out the kitchen accommodations.

We would love to have you stay with us, whether for five nights or for thirty! We offer a 20% discount for stays of 30 days or more! If your plans include a stay of this nature, please drop us a line to discuss!
