Leave the hustle and bustle of busy traffic behind as you arrive at charming downtown Umatilla, which welcomes you with a perceptible slower pace and fewer cars on the road.

The curb appeal is off the charts, with a majestic, moss-laden Oak gracefully lending just the right amount of shade to the freshly painted and sealed, gabled metal roof.
