Cozy home, centrally located
Loved my week here with my pup. House was cozy & centrally located. For the most part, less than 7 minutes driving to anywhere I needed to go within the city limits. House was well-stocked, from the towels to blankets to kitchen utensils to laundry room detergent etc. I don’t normally write about kitchen appliances and utensils, but this was the best-stocked setup I’ve ever seen. I cook a lot, so I notice these things. Was impressed! I’d definitely came back and stay here again.

Interesting property
For this place being on such a busy street, it was much quieter than we expected. Place is close to desirable locations (10 Barrel, Drake Park, downtown, and restaurants). It was also close to Shevlin Park where we attended a wedding. Easy place for Uber to pick us up. Only thing I would suggest is the owners need to add mini splits so they have air conditioning. Also, they should switch kids room with one of the others. Not safe to have little kids off by themselves and close to outdoor door.

Location!
This was our third year taking a girls trip to Bend. This house had the best location of any of the places we’ve stayed. We were able to walk to several great restaurants. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. We happened to be there during a heat wave and were happy to find fans in each room and a portable air conditioner to keep the house comfortable. Communication with the host was top notch, a couple of questions were answered immediately. The information provided prior to our trip made check in super easy. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this home again!

Excellent Location!
Location can’t be beat. Restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, etc all within walking distance. The river is only a few short blocks away, and it’s a 20ish min walk to the Amphitheater if you’re in town for a concert (we were). We were very comfortable with our group of 6 (two couples and two teens). Didn’t use many of the home amenities as it was close to 100 degrees daily and we somehow must have turned off the AC (I can only assume) at some point in our stay. It wasn’t super clear that a light switch controlled the AC units power. Given the house was pretty hot during the day we spent our time on the river or exploring all Bend has to offer. The kitchen seemed well stocked and we appreciated the washer/dryer. Overall would stay again based on location alone.

This well-appointed cottage was the perfect home base for our family adventures in Bend! There was plenty of room for 6 of us (kids ages 16-21) to relax, and a great location to walk to breweries, restaurants and shops, and the River Walk. Accessing the home was easy with clear instructions, and packing up and leaving was a breeze.

Large and comfortable home at perfect location. Right in town and river. 2 bikes, 4 paddleboards and 3 tubes so we didn’t have to rent. Lots of spices and supplies provided for grilling. Everything you need is within walking distance. Great value!

Great Location
Awesome location! Check-in was ok, 4pm is a little late. I asked for an early check-in (1pm), but they wanted to charge $20 per hour early. Seems a little silly since no other folks were occupying residence. Front door lock was great, but the rest of the house needs lock updates. Every other door accessing the house from outside, had no deadbolts. The door from the house into the garage did not lock properly (it would open if you pulled on handle). House was clean and beds were nice. Giant TV in living room. If locks get updated and there is no charge for early check-in (if no one is occupying) I would stay again.
