We would stay here again and definitely recommend it. Owner was responsive for questions and gave recommendations for places in the area before our arrival.
Fun little bonus… we saw a few deer grazing in yards walking to and from Old Mill a couple of times.
Excellent apt, but if you are in town for a Hayden Amphitheater concert, it is perfect. 15 minute walk to the show and the Old Mill District and avoid the traffic and parking hassles.
This apartment is modern, clean, new and in a great location. It reminded us of the home remodel shows when they do the big reveal. There were matching, upscale appliances, a large flatscreen TV, a comfy bed and onsite parking all within a short walk to the river. Our host was an exceptional communicator and we would definitely stay here if we visit Bend again.
Gorgeous home in great area, we didn't want to leave
We had a fantastic experience because the property was walking distance to the Old Mill so we ate, shopped, and enjoyed nature walks. The home itself was brand new and pristine and also warm and inviting. It was stocked with amenities and the attention to detail was evident from the comfortable furnishings to the fully equipped kitchen. The host was very accommodating and provided us with prompt and clear communication throughout the process. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful stay.
