Walking distance to Hancock Stadium!
We booked this property to stay in town for Special Olympics State Games. I graduated from ISU so I was familiar with the area, and was thrilled to stay so close to all the action. Quiet neighborhood, lovely home. The owner equipped the home with everything we needed! Very comfortable. Pet friendly! Our dog loved it. 😍

We loved our stay in this cute home. Bit was well maintained and looks exactly like the pictures. There were plenty of linens and they had all the necessities and then some! The house looked great - the furniture was comfortable and CLEAN! Nice quiet neighborhood and close to everything we were doing. We have family in the area and will definitely book this property again. Thank you!
