A perfect wooded hideaway for someone who enjoys the stillness of nature & the chance to see foxes, deer, woodchuck, turkeys & more, while enjoying easy access to all the fun Ames has to offer! The Fox Den is a cozy efficiency apartment in a duplex nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac, just a short walk to downtown Ames (the library, post office, grocery store, main street shopping, farmers market, city parks, bus line & more), a brief drive to campus, many tasty restaurants, and easy access to highway 35.
The space:
Although this efficiency apartment is in a basement, the large windows keep the apartment feeling open and spacious. There is a stovetop, microwave and toaster for cooking your own meals, as well as a 3/4 fridge. You'll also have access to wireless internet, a patio, fire pit and hot tub. At night, the path to and from the apartment is well lit for safe access. We specifically constructed the space with noise canceling features, but you may still hear guests above if there is someone staying in the upper portion of the duplex.

This property is a duplex with two units. This listing is in the basement, and includes a bed/living area, a kitchenette, a private bathroom, a shared laundry room, and shared outdoor 4-person hot tub with jets. The second unit (Downtown Ames Peaceful Getaway) is a 2 bedroom 1 bath unit on the main level. Neither unit has access to the other's space. The only shared area is the laundry room.

Ames is home to this vacation home. The area's natural beauty can be seen at Wilson Farm Prairie and Christiansen Forest Reserve, while Stephens Auditorium and Brunnier Art Museum are cultural highlights. Looking to enjoy an event or a game while in town? See what's happening at Jack Trice Stadium or Hilton Coliseum.
