Bluebird Day - Star Cottage

Welcome to the Star Cottage!

A 1920's historic Craftsman built during the time of Bend's mill heyday, lovingly restored with all of the modern amenities and hip, eclectic charm. Soak in the private salt system hot tub on the deck while your furry dog friends enjoy the spacious, open back yard. Hop on a cruiser bike and explore Bend like a local!

Tucked into Bend's up-and-coming historic Hill Street neighborhood centered between the heart of downtown Bend, the Box Factory and Old Mill Districts, you can walk everywhere in minutes. Walk to Jackson's Corner Restaurant (the local's fave), Palate Coffee, Crux Brewing, Atlas Cider, and all the shops and restaurants downtown. WebCyclery, a huge bike shop in a historic church is around the corner, and Market of Choice, Bend's gourmet grocery is just down the street.

So many delightful surprises await you in this historic gem! Charming and sunny with plenty of windows, gorgeous restored hardwood floors, hip and eclectic upscale furnishings and local art work. Cozy up with a good book, watch a movie, enjoy free high-speed internet, or hang out with family and friends. Kids will love the Star Loft, equipped with 2 high quality twin futons.

Enjoy outdoor living Bend-style! Challenge your friends to a game of 'corn hole' or croquet in the huge back yard, or toss a Frisbee with your dogs. Gather fresh herbs and berries from the gardens, grill out on the back deck or soak in your own private salt system hot tub under a Central Oregon sky filled with stars.

Prepare an unforgettable meal in the fully equipped gourmet kitchen newly updated with black stainless appliances. Sit-down dining for 6 makes for many wonderful memories to be made.

The key to a fantastic vacation is a good night's sleep! Enjoy gorgeous brand new European style bedding with high thread count linens, down duvets, and superior quality mattresses. The front bedroom has a King sized bed, and a Queen in the second bedroom. There are 2 high quality twin sized futons and linens provided in the upstairs Sky Loft (accessible by a ladder through the closet in the queen bedroom).

If you prefer to get out of town and into nature, there are endless hiking and mountain bike trails just minutes from town. The spectacular Cascade mountains and many lakes are and easy 20 minute drive providing endless opportunities for outdoor adventures. Phil's mountain bike trails are an easy 3 miles to the west, as well as many walking and hiking trails along the Deschutes River right out your front door!

Mount Bachelor Ski Resort is an easy 25 minute drive from Bend. This mountain is a blast, with a wide variety of terrain and trails that will keep you blissfully enthralled. There is a Mount Bachelor shuttle blocks away that will take you to and from the mountain.

All Bluebird Day homes are lovingly cared for with the intention of offering you a world class authentic bend vacation experience. Locally owned and operated, we provide you with a unique opportunity to experience the magic of Bend like a local. We care about our neighborhoods and community, feel passionate about preserving historic homes, and are delighted to offer you a glimpse of our unique and friendly Bend lifestyle.

Birthday getaway

This was a cute quaint place walking distance to downtown! It is nestled in a quiet part of town and the backyard is a relaxing place! The house was equipped with all the necessities to help make the stay easier! The house did get cold so we had to bundle up and use the fireplace but overall would stay here again!

Birthday getaway

Very cozy cottage with large fenced backyard, perfect for our little dogs, and the hot tub was delightful. Walkable to McMenamin’s, Drake Park, and other neighborhood spots. The kitchen is very nice, clean and well-equipped. The neighborhood is very quiet (the birds are noisier than people, cars or pets!) and little to no traffic. A very comfortable and convenient place to stay. The management is very responsive and easy to work with.

Star cottage review

Great little place. I will say it’s a bit quirky with 2 beds in the attic, and only 1 bathroom, but we knew that going in. Hot tub was great, plenty of towels, body wash, shampoo, coffee, which of course is huge. Walking distance to downtown also a huge plus. Would stay there again.
