Perfect Stay

Our experience could not have been better. The house was located in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood a mere five-minute walk from the First Street Rapids Park on the Deschutes River. The house was fully equipped with supplies and we did not lack for anything, particularly in the kitchen, which had every kitchen tool one could ever require. Our host was wonderful and accommodating. An added bonus was that the house was a 15-minute walk from Central Oregon Locavore, a co-op grocery store that features local meat and produce.

Nice stay in Bend

The place was easy to find, great location, very close to the river. The home was very cute and great for two couples. The beds were not great but that is my only complaint.

Cute house, great location

We rented this home for a couples getaway with our best friends. The house is cute and has everything you need. We didn’t cook a meal during our 2 night stay, but opted to check out the local dining scene instead. A quick Uber to downtown, or a little less than a mile walk (we did both), and there are plenty of restaurants and shopping to be had. The neighborhood is quiet, and the home was comfortable. Communication with the owner is easy, if needed. We would definitely book here again!

House near the river

It was a wonderful property a block away from the river and walking trails. The kitchen was well equipped as was the laundry room. I would definitely stay there again! The only suggestion I would make is a book with tips about the house (trash, recycling items that trash provider allows, internet log in info, restaurants etc). Thanks for a great stay!

Perfect Place to Stay for Bend Vacation

Our group came to Bend for an outdoor activities vacation. This house was the perfect central location for different mountain biking trails, whitewater rafting, paddle boarding on the river, and anything else you want to do in the area. The house location was less than a mile from Bend downtown - easy to walk along the river to get to all of the restaurants and shops. The house itself was very clean and the decor was very warm and inviting. The owner added special touches that were so nice for out of town travelers such as coffee, spices, laundry soap, bathroom soaps, etc. The owner was so easy to communicate with and responded to emails quickly. We would stay at this property again if we come back to Bend!

Our stay in Bend.

The house was very clean and well stocked with literally everything. TP, paper towels, laundry detergent, body wash and shampoo in shower. The location is excellent. A little over a mile to downtown Bend. Very convenient. Right by 97 so easy to get everywhere. The only thing that might need sourcing up is the outdoor patio area. A little old.

We had a great stay and it worked well for our family. It was close to the river, town and most importantly our new grandson. The owner was great to work with and answered all our questions and concerns. Hope to be staying here again soon.

Great house with a great location

This home has every thing that you need for a comfortable vacation stay. It is located just a stone's throw from the Deschutes River with great walks along the river trail. It is convenient to everywhere you might want to go on your trip and located close to Highway 97 for easy access out of town. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything you need (and more) to cook at home. There were coffee filters and a fresh bag of Starbucks coffee waiting for us upon arrival. We had five people and were very comfortable in the home. My only concern was with check-in as we didn't receive any instructions on the key code from the owner. I was contacting VRBO directly and left the owner a voice mail several days before with no return call from her. I had to contact VRBO again within 24 hours of arrival and they were going to cancel the reservation as the owner still had not responded. After they called the owner, I did receive an e-mail with instructions but it was stressful. Once we arrived, that was all behind us though!
