This was a very fun place. The gathering spaces were many. The decor was comfy and fun. The kitchen had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the deck and view, the close proximity to the river paths and mill district and the cozy fireplaces. This place is a 10. Thank you.

Quiet neighborhood and easy walk to Riverbend park

Quirky house on a hillside (lots of steps and a steep driveway) that felt comfortable. Love the storage for bikes and the easy access to the park.

Great communication with host. Home was clean. Well stocked with games. The ping pong table was a great feature. The pellet and the gas stoves in the two living spaces were wonderful. Home was toasty warm. Four stars only due to lack of power in the far end of the upstairs living room, making the space dark and unable to access the stereo system. Additionally, the reverse layout of the home, with the main living upstairs and two bedrooms downstairs made it noisy for downstairs guests sleeping later.

Fun House

We were in Bend for a long weekend during a stretch of markedly hot weather. Victoria and her staff made sure we remained comfortable so we could enjoy several days of lounging on the river, bike rides, hikes and beers on the river's edge

Great house, great location

We had a great stay at the Fun House. The location is convenient to easily access Bend, quickly get on the way to Mt Bachelor or to take a walk along the river. The property is spacious (we had six people and 2 dogs) and well stocked. Everything was exactly as we expected based on the listing. Garage access made it easy to load and unload for skiing. And, when we had questions about the property, it was easy and quick to get answers. We'll definitely give this property a look when we come back to Bend!

Fun in bend

Ping-pong, fire pit, outdoor grill, beautiful scenery, and comfy, surroundingsake for a great stay. Location generally good, but closer to the amenities would be a bit better. Some nitpicking things. The beautiful stoneware was difficult to reach on the high shelf.(heavy) and the kitchen lighting was difficult to find and not quite enough. Those are small items, thought you might want to know, would have no problem recommending this place or staying here again.

The location was fantastic- one of our favorite neighborhoods to stay in when visiting Bend. The house is unique and quirky and we enjoyed the character. Small details like dusty blinds in the bedrooms, a dead plant in the kitchen, and a barely functioning coffee pot could be improved on. Overall, we liked the space and multi-level living, having a garage to store gear was great, and we rode and walked everywhere.
