Close to everything!
We liked this property but there wasn’t much room in the den turned bedroom and no closet. That same room got very hot at night (summer) even with a fan and the door open. There are clear glass windows above the bedroom doors so if someone is up in the living room or kitchen, the light shines through those windows into the bedroom. Most of the upper cabinets in the kitchen required a stool (provided) in order to reach the items. They were not at a standard height. Other than that, this was a nice property with a great outdoor area. We were able to walk to everything downtown related.

Perfect Spot
We visit the Bend area quite often in the summer and winter. This spot was perfect for the summer as it’s walking distance to anything you might need in town and the river. Good restaurants around there and breweries. My wife and I are avid runners and the Deschutes River trail is right there that winds you along the river for awesome scenery. House was well kept and the neighborhood is quiet which is great. Definitely will keep this spot on the list to come back to.

House was in the perfect location! We were 3-4 minutes from everything! The only thing that I wish was that the heat worked a little more in the bedroom but I’m just a really cold person all the time. Nothing that would stop me from staying there again! Really cute house! :)

Perfect location, super comfy bed(s)!!!
Incredibly clean, very comfy bed(s) (we only used one lol) and love that they’re king size, very well stocked kitchen, owners were so nice and communicative, and a seriously perfect location for walkability. Lots of seating at table and bar, but, the *only* thing I’d give future renters a note about is that the living room furniture really only allows 3 people to “lounge” comfortably (one person on chair, two people lay or recline on the sofa). Four can very comfortably sit on the sofa, but might not be the easiest to “lounge” and watch a movie, for example. For the two of us, every single thing was A+ 😊 Thank you!!!

Great location, walking distance to shops and restaurants. Was very clean and had a well equipped kitchen as we made breakfast everyday. Loved that the rooms all had king size beds and even though there is only one bathroom, it wasn’t a drawback.

The house was just the right size for our family and had everything that we needed. Great communication with the hosts.

Great Property in an Ideal Location
This property is very well located near the “Old Bend” neighborhood. I loved being able to walk into town for coffee or to shop or eat at one of the many nearby restaurants. The house was extremely clean and well cared for. The kitchen was well stocked. The one bathroom was small but fine for our family. Having a parking spot was super convenient. Overall, we loved our stay!

Great place in a great location!
Our family loved this place. The location can’t be beat. Each of the three bedrooms were great for what our family needed. For some groups, the one bathroom situation might be more of a challenge but was just fine for us. Would definitely stay at this place again with my family.
