Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in Ames

Really enjoyed our stay in the heart of Des Moines. Lovely neighborhood with lots to do and it was all very walkable. Location was terrific for our group, which included my parents, who are in their 80s. We all enjoyed Mac’s home, which had plenty of amenities and was super comfortable. Mac was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay and was a very responsive communicator. We will be back!!

Great place to stay! Highly recommend. It has everything I needed + more. There was a few glitch things that happened that Josiah addressed right away making it as smooth as possible. Thank you! Would stay here again.

Great spot for a weekend stay! The location was convenient and we were within a short walk of food and entertainment downtown. The unit itself was spacious and clean. We will stay here again!

It was awesome! It’s was like I had my own little safe haven as I’m running all over dsm. Very walkable to places like Walgreens and close to Drake diner and other good restaurants on University!

Nice house 🙌

I had a wonderful stay at Dallas’s Airbnb! From the start, Dallas was very responsive and answered all of my questions quickly and thoroughly, which made the booking process smooth and easy. The place itself was spotless and well-maintained, offering a comfortable and relaxing environment. I appreciated the attention to detail for the checkin and out process. I’d definitely recommend this Airbnb to others. Would love to stay again!

The apartment was as described. My daughters loved it, especially with all of the windows and the patio. It looks like it is a fair distance from Des Moines, but is a straight shoot in on the interstates to downtown. The kitchen had everything necessary to cook, even though we didn’t have time. The beds were all comfortable. The welcome book was very helpful. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for sharing your apartment with us.

We absolutely loved it here & would definitely stay again. Perfect location & many restaurants & venues close by. Great to have a guaranteed parking space too

Timothy was incredible responsive and communicated very well. We got to town a little early and he accommodated us for an early check in. The space was absolutely perfect for my girlfriends and I to get ready and go to a wedding down the street at the World Food Prize building.

The pictures do not do justice to how nice this place is. The hosts instructions were very clear and they made sure we felt comfortable with reaching out if need be. Definitely worth the price

I booked Kyles place at 9:30 @ night, thats pretty last minute, didnt phase them, even when i had a hard time figuring out how to get the keys out of the lockbox, Kyle answered and got me right in, it was beautiful and peaceful, just what i was looking for, thank you Kyle :)

Had a lovely stay at Jeff's place! The condo was lovely, nicely decorated and comfortable. We felt welcome right away with a nice card from Jeff and some snacks. We had everything we needed at the condo including a comfortable bed and pull out sofa and a full kitchen. Light sleepers may want to bring a noise machine or ear plugs as the downtown bar crowd can be a little noisy on the weekends. We would love to stay here again the next time we're in Des Moines!

This unit was as described and very comfortable. The instructions on how to get into the building and then into the unit were excellent. So glad that the unit had a washer and dryer. The free assigned parking space in the parking garage was priceless! So safe and secure. Very quiet area and attached to the Des Moines Skywalk. Walkable to a large grocery store, restaurants and entertainment. Could not get the online "guide book" to open up. Could have contacted Josiah, but didn't really find a need for it. You might want to make sure you will have access to it before arriving. Highly recommend this unit and renting from Josiah.

If I'm ever in Des Moines again I will seek out this AirBNB. We absolutely loved this stay!

The house was easy to find and easy to get into. It is in a nice little neighborhood with a park not too far away. The house was spacious and made you feel at home. One of the beds in the basement was broken when we got there but the host was quick to respond.

The house was easy to find and get into. Everything was very clean and surprisingly spacious! We enjoyed the hot tub and we were very happy with how clean, private and well-maintained it was. My kids enjoyed several games of pac man in the game room too! The location was fantastic. Easy to go downtown, good restaurants and coffee shops nearby. Plus it was very quiet, even though close to the highway. I would definitely recommend this listing to anyone visiting the area.

We were in town for our son's graduation. This was by far the best AirBnB that we have stayed in since inception! The house is gorgeous, please take care of it if you stay, great host are hard to find. Everything was clean, updated and perfect in every way. The beds were extremely comfortable, plenty of linens and towels. There were more than enough extras of everything, so if you forget to bring something, chances are it's provided. There was more than enough space for our group of 4 adults. We couldn't stop raving about the space, everything is as listed, Jennifer's communication is awesome and she was very accommodating with a couple of changes we needed to make. The only thing we could complain about is that we didn't find the space sooner, being this is our last weekend trip here. We definitely recommend and would definitely stay again!

This stay was everything. Felt just like walking into my own home. Very nice set up. Was there this p past weekend for a basketball tournament and all gyms were 20 or less from the home. Everything went well, no issues at all.

This was our third stay in Allan and Shelly’s rental! Just as every time before, it was wonderful! The home is great for larger groups and has a lot of living quarters space for people to spread out! It’s very clean and well kept! Allan and Shelly are very responsive and flexible to work with!

The place was clean with decent furniture and amenities. It was exactly what we were looking for. We had a nice comfortable stay.

I really loved this Airbnb!! I can see why it’s so highly rated. It’s so homey and comfortable, great for groups! Bringing our pups was a huge plus. Most dog friendly Airbnb’s aren’t that great but Jen’s place was perfect and spotless. The neighborhood was very safe and a great place to walk the dogs! We would definitely stay again!
