- "Great place. Very clean and wonderful location." - "We enjoyed our stay. Property was as described and host was friendly and helpful. " - "Everything you will need for your stay. Very close drive to any thing you might need. We will definitely be back and hope to stay longer. " - "My family and one other family stayed at the house for a local softball tournament in the area. We enjoyed everything about the house it was exactly what we expected. It was near all the ball fields that we could have possibly played at but still had that feeling of being far enough away that we could relax and enjoy our time away from the city life. Patricia was very nice, responsive and accommodating for us which made our stay even that much more enjoyable. We would highly recommend staying here for anyone looking in the area.

Other things to note
The property is located one block from the High Trestle Trail, one of the most pristine and highly trafficked trails in Iowa—even at night. The trail’s popularity is largely due to its famous 130-foot-tall High Trestle Bridge, which boasts one of the most well-known rail-trail art installations in the country, From Here to There. Wrapped in 43 twisting, diamond-shaped steel ribs lined with LED lights, the bridge elicits the sensation of traveling down a mine shaft—a nod to the area’s coal-mining history.

In addition to its rich history, Ankeny is also known for its vibrant local art scene, with galleries and studios revealing the work of local artists.

Whether you're interested in history or the arts, Ankeny has something to offer everyone. Ankeny has a fascinating history that dates back to the late 1800s when it was founded as a railroad town.
