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. 😍
