Perfect for small family with great location

This was the perfect home for us - very comfortable for our family of 3 with a well stocked kitchen, ample living space both inside and out and comfy mattresses. The central location near downtown Bend cannot be beat; we were within walking distance of nearby downtown parks, restaurants and shops and only ~1.5 blocks from the gorgeous Deschutes river.

Great old bend neighborhood

We enjoyed our stay. It looks like a small cottage but its much bigger than it appears. Its well equipped with fun decor. It even has a garage for people with smaller vehicles than my truck!A block away from the dechutes and an easy walk todowntown with many restaurants and coffee places within an easy walk. Also, an easy drive to bachelor.

Impeccable in all respects

What a lovely home! Checkin was great, the home was clean, and the proximity to everything was great. We walked to and from the Hayden Homes Ampitheater, which was a super easy ~10 minute walk. Thanks for having us!

Surprise Visit for My Daughter

Really nice property. All it needs is a mat for the tub/shower (to avoid slipping) and a few boxes of Kleenex for winter runny noses and it’s a perfect place to stay. Lives much bigger than its 1100 sq. ft. size would suggest. Regards location, great for walking to Market of Choice, and Active Culture is right around the corner for one of the best breakfast/lunch options in Bend. Set-back of the house from the street makes it very private. All-in-all, a real winner for the price we paid.
