Bright & Modern Near Downtown & 1st Street Rapids - Walk Downtown Along River

Exuding natural light and clean simplicity, this calming home is a 2 houses away from gorgeous First Street Rapids park. Enjoy a peaceful stroll downtown on the now fully-paved and connected river trail. Relax in a bright and functional living area with modern amenities including heated floors, A/C and high speed internet. Soak up morning sun and nature sounds on the patio. Ideal for home-bodies or adventure-bound folks seeking a comfortable base camp. Fantastic King and Full size beds with blackout shades in the bedrooms.

This home was custom built by the owner and it is evident at every turn. Though the house has a small footprint, it lives large and was featured by the Environmental Center of Bend for its innovation, efficiency and quality construction. Hydronic heated floors throughout result in quiet, even comfort and a noticeably calm environment. Blackout shades let you set your own schedule in the sunny high desert. Exposed beams, solid doors, high ceiling, expert tilework -- this isn't rental-grade. But as they say, location, location, location! Being so near the river, yet also nearby access to the highway and downtown means you'll spend less time in the car and more time soaking up the Central Oregon outdoors.

You'll have access to the entire home. There is one 'off-street' gravel parking spot, and on-street parking in front of the house is free 24/7.

We'll be within cell phone range generally, and are quick to respond to any call or text.

The house is located in a friendly and welcoming Westside historic neighborhood, with convenient access to Highway 97. Stroll into town for dinner along the Deschutes River or cross the footbridge to explore miles of gorgeous riverside trails. Just 3 houses away from First Street Rapids park and 10 minutes walk to downtown.

Please note that the laundry room (downstairs, very separate from the living space) may be used by our housekeeper during your stay. She is a professional and accustomed to the setup and will not disturb you, ad the laundry room is fully securable from the rest of the living space. The laundry will only be used for a single load, between 11AM-3PM. There is no shared wall or any shared spaces,.

We expect guests to be respectful of the neighboring studio, which is a short-term rental. The main concern is noise out on the second floor patio, which is near the bedroom window of the neighboring studio.

Please note there is construction next door by the property owner, a contractor, who is building his own home. Noise limited to working hrs (8-4, generally not on weekends).
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board. Housekeeping is available on request.

Ryan and Katie are very nice. The location is great. Close to downtown and a block from the river. The home is comfortable and well stocked. Pretty much anything you would need is available. They are quick to get back to you if you have questions. We would not hesitate to recommend staying here when visiting Bend. Lane and Pam

Amazing stay and location

I had a fantastic stay at this Vrbo! The place was spotless, modern, and had everything I needed for a comfortable visit. The location couldn’t be better, just steps from the river and less than a mile from downtown.I especially enjoyed walking along the river path, heading toward downtown for all the restaurants and shops, and in the other direction for peaceful, scenic strolls surrounded by nature. It was the best of both worlds.Ryan was an excellent host—always responsive, helpful, and easy to communicate with. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
