Clean, small cottage in charming old Bend.
It is a small but clean cottage beautifully located right across from the lovely Drake Park, in close proximity to old and charming Bend's downtown and the gorgeous pathways leading to the Old Mill District. There are improvements that need to take place that just require some attention to detail. For example: there were no coffee filters (we bought some the day after Thanksgiving), there is no water kettle (we like to make tea), only two spoons (small and medium), we like to prepare some meals for ourselves but spent 10 minutes cleaning the dirty pans (both are on the small side), there was no aluminum foil. I am light sleeper so a word of caution to fellow travelers: the bedroom window faces a busy street and the noise level is high. If you are a light sleeper, I would not recommend this unit unless you have ear plugs. (Ironically for me, the king size mattress was great). I should have specifically asked about noise level and proximity to a road prior to booking and it is my fault that I did not. The noise level is not reflected in my overall rating score. I have also suggested to the manager, (after receiving a text asking me where I parked my car even though it was parked according to instructions) that a simple numbering of the three parking slots would eliminate confusion for guests and equally for management. Once again, the overall customer experience could improve with greater attention to detail on the part of the management company or owners.

Drake Cottage is well located for Old Bend, downtown, and the Old Mill District. Drake Park is just steps away. The apartment is well-equipped, clean, and comfortable. The only disappointment was the traffic noise that was more than expected for a residential neighborhood.

Great Stay in Bend
Fantastic little VRBO in a great location. Everything as described. Perfect for my wife & I on our 28th anniversary trip. Couple minor cleaning issues. Noticed it was pretty dirty under the bed when trying to adjust the power strips to make plugging in devices easier at the nightstands, and the vent for the bathroom fan was filthy.

BEND Cottage
Very nice location. Walking distance to Old Bend downtown area and right on the river. Property was nice but kitchen is very tight with minimal utensils provided Regardless, it met our needs quite nicely. The air system is a single unit centrally located so doesn’t do a great job of cooling the bedroom area. We had to prop up a portable fan to try to get cool air. But it sufficed. All in all - a nice spot to stay.

This place was perfect for our stay in Bend. The location is close to absolutely everything. It is also across the street from Drake Park. A lovely park with geese, ducks, dog walkers, paddle boarding and walking trails. The condo itself has a lovely courtyard and is well appointed with everything you need for a lovely stay. We would absolutely stay here again.

Just right
A very efficient apartment close to all that Bend has to offer, including my son’s place! We’ve stayed in this complex before and loved it’s location. Was a bit fearful that the proximity to the road and Drake park would equal noisy at night, but things quiet down markedly after 9 pm. This is an older cottage , and as such, windows are a bit drafty on a cold night. Plenty of blankets and an electric fireplace and we were cozy. It was 17 degrees outside a couple of nights!! Bed is quite comfortable.

Quaint cottage with a midget toilet
The location of the cottage by Drake Park in Bend is wonderful. The cottage is quaint and small and has just one parking space. Lots of road traffic throughout the day. All of that is OK as long as you are not an adult over 5’11 inches in height. Their toilet is so low to the ground and small that it’s really useful for only small people. The property manager was extremely helpful with our temperature control issues for the heater and air conditioner.
