Very spacious and clean house. Just a short walk to Old Mill area with restaurants and shops. Very close to Riverwalk as well. Overall great VRBO I would highly recommend.
The house was great and pretty easily baby proofed for our very mobile 8 month old. We loved the fire pit and ping pong table in the garage. The location was awesome. We can’t wait to come back!
This was a great little house for our group to stay in. Super close to the old mill and amphitheater. Glad it had the AC unit in the family room area, although the bedroom would have been nice, too. Parking was easy for more than one car. The beds were comfortable and it was nice having a ping pong table. Spacious enough for our group of 7.
This was a wonderful place to stay with our family. A quick walk to shopping and dining on the river. Quiet street for kids to play. Ping pong table in garage, comfortable beds, and quick check out procedures. No long list of to-dos before you leave. A+ property for any vacation.
Excellent location and accommodation for our long weekend at Bend for a roller hockey tournament at the Pavilion. Easy access to downtown, the river, Old Mill District and downtown. Super quiet neighborhood and extra cozy beds for a restful stay. Added bonus was the ping pong table in the garage - we had so much fun playing as a family.
We had a great stay at the house. With only a 15 minute walk to the old mill district, the river, and the amphitheater it was a perfect basecamp. The house was super clean and well stocked.
We enjoyed having the table tennis table in the garage for a little side diversion.
Great house!

Mini vacation
We had a wonderful stay. The house was fully stocked with everything you would need for the weekend. It was clean, cozy & comfortable. We really appreciated the ability to accesses the shed for things like tubs corn hole!
We would stay again 10/10.
Location is fantastic. Walked for coffee everyday & along the river.
This is a beautiful house, clean and welcoming, and close to the places we wanted to be.
The front porch light is disabled, and this made coming home at night a little iffy.
Stayed 2 nights to see a concert at Hayden Homes Amphitheater. We had 3 couples and a single- house had all the room we needed. Walked to concert. Pull out couch could be better, dishwasher door hits the fridge - but overall everything was great and worked well. We enjoyed the fire pit on the back deck.
Quiet neighborhood and great location. Cozy and comfortable house for our family gathering. Plenty of space for hanging out and dining and great outdoor space for gathering and grilling. Host was very responsive to requests and questions. Would definitely stay here again.
Very comfortable, homey, spacious, well-appointed, clean. Hosts are proactive and eager to please. We all really enjoyed our stay and would love to return if visiting Bend again. Highly recommend!
Great location and walk ability to old mill district and Hayden homes amphitheater. Property is exactly as listed and pictured, no surprises. We enjoyed it very much.

This place has everything you need including a ping-pong table, and is an easy walk to the Old Mill District. Great for large and small groups!
The photos and description described the place accurately. The street itself seemed quite rural, but house was close to town and attractions by car, within 10-15 minutes max. Communication was very good.
