Walkable little gem!

This adorable home was perfect for the two of us. Its central location in Old Bend enabled us to park and leave our car in the driveway. Easy, walkable access to downtown - we even walked to our concert at the amphitheater and to Old Mill District. The home itself was well accommodated. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen well stocked. We also enjoyed the salt water hot tub. Great property management communication as well. Highly recommend and we’ll stay here again on our next visit.
