"My husband and I rented this property to stay at while we traveled to Ames to celebrate the holidays with family and attend an ISU football game. Our kids and grandson were coming in from KC and Idaho, so we needed a larger home with room for gathering and celebrating our own little Christmas as well. We were pleasantly surprised by The Cove and would recommend! Safe neighborhood, relaxing atmosphere and proximity to Ames, Ankeny and DM areas!"
