Riverfront Cottage - Steam Room & Pet Friendly!
Summary:
Welcome to "Hot Dam". Up to three guests can stay here, on the queen bed and a twin size sleeper sofa (in the living room). You’ll have everything you need to relax and take in the beauty of the Deschutes River and popular Riverfront Trail through the windows or on your patio.

The Space:
'Hot Dam' is what we call this absolutely stunning river level cottage which is situated right in the heart of Bend! Up to three guests can stay here, on a queen bed in the bedroom and a twin size sleeper sofa in the living room. Walk in and be immediately greeted with floor to ceiling windows surrounding almost the entire cottage, showing off the absolutely stunning river views from all angles! Feel free to keep the blinds open because these windows are tinted on the outside for privacy - you will be able to take in the views of outside but outside won't be able to take in the views of you!
Heated tile floors with river rock detailing run throughout the condo, except for the bedroom which has plush, comfy carpeting, ensuring your feet will never feel anything but comfort while in this cottage. In the living room, you will find one of two flat screen TVs in the condo for catching up on your favorite shows as well as a gas fireplace to really take the comfort level up a notch! The fireplace can be viewed from the bedroom as well, and there's even a switch to control it right beside the bed so you can turn it off if it gets too toasty, without even getting out of bed!
Whether you truly enjoy cooking or find it just a means to an end, this kitchen has it all. It is well equipped with plenty of custom built storage and everything you might need to whip up some of your favorites meals. Make use of the extra gadgets in this kitchen such as a tortilla press, blender, crockpot and more!
The luxurious bathroom has a double vanity sink with 'movie star' lighting surrounding the two mirrors. The best part of this bathroom is the walk in shower that is almost large enough to be considered a small room of its own- and it doubles as a steam room! Toss in your favorite scented shower bomb and you basically have a mini-spa right here in your rental!
'Hot Dam' is one of just a few condos in our rental pool that has it's own washer and dryer right in the unit! We also have a coin operated laundry room on-site if you happen to want to do a couple of loads of laundry at one time.
Glass doors open from both the living room and bedroom onto a serene riverfront patio where you can peacefully sit for hours with your coffee or tea and enjoy the Deschutes River Trail and all of the sounds of nature that accompany it.
The cottage itself is spectacular but even more so is the unbeatable location. Bring your fishing rods because you are just steps away from the Deschutes River! Not into fishing? Pack up a picnic and take it next door to Pioneer Park where your dog can run to it's hearts content! Once you're ready to hit the town, follow the Deschutes River Trail which is just a 10-15 minute walk directly into downtown! This property also comes with the use of our indoor heated pool and hot tub! This unit is also pet friendly, so feel free to bring up to 2 furry friends for a $69 pet fee! See you soon!

Wonderful

We had a great stay! The space had everything we needed and was in a great location within walking distance to restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay again!
Staying on the river was beautiful! Easy walk along the River to downtown restaurants and shops. The place was small but very efficient. We had everything we needed plus an incredible shower! It would have been perfect if it was a King size bed.The guest before us left dirty towels in the washer. Otherwise the place was clean.
This condo and rental was perfect for our family of three with a ten year old and a 30 pound dog. We loved the location for views, walking, accessibility to all that Bend has to offer, the pool, and the steam shower. We would definitely stay here again.
I haven't been to Bend in decades and wanted to spend time at the river. This was the perfect view and location! A great space and a fantastic shower/steam room.
This was a beautiful spot. Everything was smooth from the check in process to response time from the owner. The unit was beautiful, and had gorgeous views of the river. It made for such a cozy weekend away. Highly recommend!
The cottage was the perfect location and such a beautiful stroll into town! My only compliant was the cleanliness mentioned by other reviewers. I emailed the staff about the broken garbage disposal and filthy AC filter, and both issues were corrected that same day. I would absolutely stay there again.
Nice property with great views of the river. Property manager was very helpful and friendly. Some small issues with cleanliness, inoperable and/or functionality of accessories such as various lighting, heated floors, and shower functions was troubling. However, we did enjoy our stay
View was great, location was the best, outlet in bathroom still not fixed,
We would again stay in the Hot Dam room. Enjoyed the view and being close a nice walk way for our dog.
Nice to have the washer and dryer
Wish the garbage deposit area was closer to manageable. Just drove to it.
Shower was great and warm floor were a nice asset
All and all would recommend.
The view was for sure the best part of this cute little room. But the beds were so uncomfortable (why not a king bed)?! The seating was also uncomfortable. Just a few updates and it is spot on! Check in was a breeze! We showed up about 20 min early for check in. After driving through a blizzard( mini blizzard) the very nice girl at check in was so nice and and was a delight! It really is beautiful just a few updates.
Overall shabby and dirty, white soap scum all over shower, dead electrical outlets, heated flooring ONLY in 1/2 the kitchen, toilet loud ran off/on all day, empty light socket in shower ceiling, leaky showerhead, broken furniture, management unresponsive.
The river view was fantastic! Front desk did the best they could.
Our stay was short but sweet. We arrived at 4 pm when check-in was allowed. We were able to park right in front of our unit. We unloaded our car then headed to the venue for our Stick Figure Concert at Hayden Homes Amphitheater. The walk took us 40 minutes was was very nice. We arrived back at our rental on the river around 11 pm. The sound of the river was so relaxing. We woke up at 9 am and drank coffee (provided by host) on the back deck and enjoyed our morning watching baby birds and their parents on the back deck. Checked at 11 am. Wish we could have stayed longer. Bed was a full so a little small for my sister and I. We didn't use the pull out. We really didn't have time to take advantage of the pool or other amenities. We enjoyed our stay.
We absolutely loved the location of this property. Staying on the Deschutes and being able to walk around it was so wonderful. The place was comfortable and had everything we needed. The bathroom was beautiful and shower so nice. There was an issue when we arrived with the temperature, but maintenance (Jimmy) was more than accommodating to get it corrected. There were only two downsides to the stay. First, we arrived a little early and asked for an early check-in. We were told absolutely you can check in early, but that it would cost $25. I have never had a property that I booked on VRBO that asked for a fee to check in early if the property was already cleaned and ready. Second, the shades throughout the unit were very dirty. In particular, the shade on the bathroom door was disgusting. Those two things said, we would definitely consider staying at this property another time, especially because of the location.
Two night stay was very enjoyable. Unit was nice and clean, but would recommend new couch in living room. Great location in a beautiful area. Overall a good experience.
Very comfortable and relaxing stay. Enjoyed the river front view and soothing sound of the river. The property was clean, and very comfortable. Would love to stay again.
This little gem is as advertised -- amazing location and well-stocked kitchen and spa-like bathroom. The river and path are right outside your door! Will be back soon...
We booked this unit because of the amenities and the location and it did not dissapoint.
The only reason it does not get five stars is that some of the features are hard to figure out- i.e. steam room, lights, etc. Labels on light switchs would have made things easier to manage, or a binder with instructions would have been helpful, as we never could get the TV to work and the steam room took a great while to get going. Also some additional comfort items could have been nice (blankets for the livingroom or couch bed).
Regardless perfect for us and our five year old. She slept on the couch bed, we walked along the river to a restaurant, and did a steam room after dinner.
Awesome!
