Suberb location, immaculate and cozy

We didn’t want to leave this sweet, comfortable, clean cottage! It was marvelous to leave the car at home and walk to the river front and so many delightful eateries. Don was a wonderful host who anticipated all our needs. The garden was divine with a stunning paper bark birch tree and a family of 4 deer outside the kitchen table window. This cottage was very well planned (outlets just where you need them) and well equipped (nice kitchenware!). We hope to return soon.

Looking forward to our next visit

The cottage had everything we needed for our visit to downtown Bend area. We were in a very short walking distance to the wonderful river path and the old downtown Bend area - both of which we wanted to visit. The cottage had everything we needed for our stay; comfortable bed, stocked kitchen, beautiful patio area for relaxing, perfectly clean and stocked with kitchen and bath supplies. Don is a great host - attentive without being intrusive. Bonus for us, the electric charging for our car worked smoothly and conveniently for our stay. We wish we could have stayed longer and plan to return, as Bend area has so much more to explore than we had time to visit and the cottage is ideal for relaxation time as well.

The cottage was so well thought out. It's neat and clean and stocked with everything you would need. It was the perfect home base for us while we spent the week in Bend. The back patio was so peaceful and beautiful and we loved having a grill to use! Don is a great host - ready to answer any questions, or accommodate a need.

We had a lovely stay at the cottage. The location is perfect with a short walk to the river and Old Bend. The cottage was clean, comfortable and we loved the way it was furnished. The patio is absolutely delightful. They have thought of everything. We had contemplated staying at a hotel for our brief stay but so glad we didn't. This was so much better. Highly recommend.

Brief stay in Bend

My husband and I were planning a trip to Portland for a wedding and wanted to spend a few days in Bend before the wedding. Don and Marlines cottage was perfect. They have thought of everything and provided a lovely place for a stopover or lengthier stay that left us wanting to stay longer. The cottage is perfectly located to take advantage of everything Bend has to offer. It is within a short Walking distance to the river, breweries and amazing restaurants. Although we didn’t spend a lot of time in the cottage what we did spend there was extremely comfortable. They have created a beautiful cottage in a lovely garden with a private patio for the guest cottage and gave great advice for restaurants and area trips. Highly recommended!!

Superb accommodations in Bend

The perfect home base for our explorations in Bend and the surrounding areas. Don was an excellent and welcoming host, providing plenty of suggestions and local knowledge on places to explore, including our favorite - waterfalls. The cottage is clean, cozy and warm with everything needed to make for a comfortable stay. Outside spaces are serene and inviting - both in 70-degree warm weather and in the snow, as we found out on our spring break trip! The convenience of being walking-distance to everything in old Bend can't be overstated. We also greatly appreciated having the EV charger - waking up to a full battery every morning, ready to go. We can't wait to come back!

Great location, Great owner

The experience started several months before the stay. The owner contacted me and offered customized advice for our trip. He was always helpful and responsive before and during the stay. When we mentioned a loose brick on the patio, he was out the same day rebuilding it. The accommodations are clean and well designed. Space is limited, but comfortable for two people with separate living room and bedroom. Air conditioning was sufficient for the heat wave during our stay and the outdoor patio was nice in the evenings. Location was excellent, with Old Bend a five minute walk across the river.
