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.

We had a very comfortable time at this home. The kitchen was great to cook in, the beds were comfortable, and the water was plenty hot enough.I have just 2 recommendations: the main shower floor gets very slippery and it would be nice to have a shower mat available just for safety reasons. I think the online listing should talk about the amount of stairs to access the home (inside and out), especially for elderly visitors or people who have some mobility issues.Other than that, the home was great and we really enjoyed the location.
