Trip was wonderful and the Bungalow was perfect and in a perfect location. Walking distance to down town and the Mill district. Would definitely stay here again if the opportunity arises.
Love this little place. Had everything we needed to cook and was so walkable to downtown Bend, Deschutes River, and the Amphitheater. They had some wonderful welcoming gifts for us and the AC was nice because it was a little warm in Bend when we stayed! Clean, comfortable, and convenient.
Great little bungalow in a sweet spot of Bend!! Easy walking to parks, river, food (options are endless and none disappoint!), breweries, shops. The house was tiny but perfect for our needs. Very clean. Quiet neighborhood. Easy drive to Mt Bachelor, Tumalo Falls, among other surrounding parks, hikes. Alpenglow is a great rental company. Will certainly reach out to them again in the future.
Nice place, Served me well. Fun location and well equipped kitchen. Excellent amount of streaming options on the TV. Fun stay over all. I'd be glad to return in the future. Things to improve: 1) Blinds in the bed room. Sun comes in early and the room lights up. I am someone who needs a room dark to sleep well. 2) Air condition is missing in bed room, You need to leave the door open to the living room for the AC to come in but this adds more light that can come in early in the morning. 3) Kitchen counter tiles paint stains and dose not come off after scrubbing. Id suggest something more glossy and easy to clean.
We stayed in the cottage for a week with our dog. The location was perfect for us...walking distance to food, parks, and friends, and not a long drive to hikes and skiing. The cottage itself is tiny (which we knew) but I kept hitting my ankles on the bed frame when walking sideways to get past it. The bed itself is quite comfortable. Note to people with a dog, there is no fenced yard access from within the house. We missed this detail. Also while the kitchen is stocked with more spices than I've seen at a holiday rental, if you plan on cooking, bring your own mixing bowls and knives. Also, you have to open the window when the gas stove is on as there is no venting. Overall, the cottage is a little tired but the location and coziness still make for a good stay in Bend.

Great Location and Place to Stay
Not a bad walk to downtown, close to a lot of other places as well. Nice little place to stay.
A fantastic place! Just a few minutes from everything Bend has to offer; only 20 minute walk to the Hayden Homes Amphitheater, shops, and breweries. The check in/out process is easy and the experience was delightful.
Great location. All I can say about the water pressure in the shower is “brace yourself”!

Great location close to downtown Bend, Drake park and the river, Cute bungalow
Great Great location cute little bungalow and good accommodation. Only areas of improvement would be: the back patio was a weed patch with no shade and the bed in the master was very low and not comfortable.
Great location with minimal traffic and within walking distance of the Downtown. Convenient parking and easy access to the cottage made our entry very easy. Would have loved to have a normal bed rather than futon-style bed, but we slept very well regardless.
The bungalow was great! Easy walk to many different points of interest in town. Clean place with everything you need. Dedicated parking and pet friendly property make for a comfortable experience.
We had a great time staying in this clean and quiet bungalow. Neighborhood was lovely for walking with lots of shade trees. Very close to great restaurants and coffee. Centrally located to walk into town or over to river waterpark and amphitheater. We’ll be back!

Misleading space
Hello,
Unfortunately, we're unable to leave a positive review. The fireplace was not operational, which should have been clearly documented. The heat in the bathroom did not work for most of the trip. And hot water ran out very quickly. Quite frankly, I'm surprised we were not offered a discount.

Mixed feelings about this place.
The space was clean and quaint. We specifically booked this house due to fenced area for the dogs, but upon arrival you have to walk around the home to get to the yard, no direct access from inside the home and the gate was cut too short on bottom and was not secure for our pups, so wasn't able to use. If you want door dash...forget it because they cannot find this place. Entrance is confusing and down an alley with address not recognized on navigation. Neighboring VRBO took our parking space which was frustrating. The central location of the house is great due to being able to walk to old downtown.

Perfect
This was a perfect spot for my wife and I to get away to for a few days. Close to Galveston beer pubs and close to downtown. We even walked to the concert at the amphitheater. Drake park was also close by for a walk around the lake. We will be back!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
We specifically booked house so dogs could be in fenced area and were not made aware you could not get to patio without exiting front and walking around house. Gate was too high and not secure to ensure they did not get out. Someone parked in our spot 2 days without moving car which hindered easy access getting to patio also. If you want door dash forget it…nobody can find it.
We came to Bend to pick up our new RV. There were several delays and changes in our schedule and the rental management worked with us to add days and change actual days we were there. They were extremely helpful.
The house was just perfect for myself and my dog. the only issue I had was the fact that the gate wouldn't latch

Great location, mind your ankles
The bungalow is in an ideal location for good access to everything we and our dog wanted to do. The property itself is small which is fine except that the bed frame juts out and I left with bruised ankles. Just an FYI for future guests. Also note that the back yard has to be accessed via the driveway not the house. We missed that detail. The kitchen is decently stocked and has an exceptional selection of herbs and spices. But bring your own knives if you plan on cooking!
