This one bedroom bungalow is perfect for those wishing to be within a beautiful stroll to the park, river, downtown Bend, and the popular west side where you can enjoy everything from quaint bakeries to superb restaurants, unique galleries to seasonal festivals, bike and recreation equipment rental shops, and not to mention some of the greatest microbreweries in the country-- all right outside the front door.

Great location

The house is great for all kinds of activities and walking into Bend. Lots of space to spread out and a lovely patio. This is the second time we've stayed in the house. Unfortunately, this time the kitchen was not clean. Dishes had been put away dirty (soap still in the dishwasher holder so it had just not been run) , the shelves covered in a deep layer of dust and "rings" on the counter. The prior dog had clearly been up on the outdoor furniture as it was covered in dog fur.

Convenient cottage with great yard

This place is very conveniently located in an area with shops and restaurants. It is walkable to all the main attractions in the town of Bend. The yard is great for pets and relaxing outdoors. The furnishings are comfortable but nothing fancy. At the time of our visit the pull cords for the fans was broken and could not be turned off. The toilet handle is in need of some help too. Otherwise this place is perfect.

Cozy home in Bend

We so enjoyed our stay at the West Side Bungalow in Bend. Check-in was super easy. Erin was incredibly responsive. The house is in a great neighborhood -- walkable to great food, groceries, coffee, parks, and 1 block from the river. The house had everything we needed, was well-appointed, bed was super comfy and the sheets were soft. My only recommendation would be to add a couple ottomans to the chairs in the main sitting room, so when you are reading you can put your feet up. That said, we'd love to come back and visit for longer! Bend is a beautiful town and this was a cozy home away from home.

Excellent Home

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This home is very nice and accommodated us as a couple and our two pups. Backyard is a highlight with a covered gazebo on the patio, nice flush grass, fully fenced, jacuzzi. House is perfect for a couple, nice kitchen, living room, and nice king size bed. Quiet neighborhood but two blocks to food truck lot, restaurants, two great breweries Needed to call owner/manager once for a simple question, and she picked right up on a Sunday. We'll be back.

The Drake Bungalow

The house was amazing, just the right size for me and my small dog. We both loved the spacious back yard with tall safety fence and gazebo, did not use the hot tub but it did look inviting. I also appreciated the alley parking. The house is walking distance to everything and the neighborhood quiet and friendly. I went to Bend to visit my son who lives in Bend and works at Smith Rock leading climbs. I was able to get a personal tour of the park and it is a natural wonder. The house made it easy for us to visit each other and walk to many wonderful eateries like the food trucks and restaurants. Will seek out this property again in the future

Adorable home with an excellent location!

My husband and I and our 2 pets enjoyed our stay here! You will be hard-pressed to find a more walkable location! Super close to parks, (including Drake Park), downtown, a convenience store, the Lot (fabulous food carts, beer/cider/wine, & seats!), and a ton of great small businesses, pubs, & restaurants along Galveston. We enjoyed shopping at Sand Lily, eating at Dump City Dumplings, El Sancho, & the Victorian Cafe. We did plenty of walking around the beautiful neighborhood and took our dog to Harmon Park where she got to 'watch' the ducks and run around. If visiting during the winter, be sure to bring appropriate footwear as the walkway from the parking in the alley to the backdoor (which we used frequently) was very icy. Loved the spacious yard, though, for our pup! Erin was easily reachable by phone when we needed her. We would absolutely recommend this spot to visiting friends or family and all wishing to explore the Bend area.

River cottage.

If only it were 25 years ago. The tiny cottage is next door to a giant McMansion. You can't help but feel someone is looking down on you while in the yard/ hot tub. The constant construction in this ever growing Bend OR is nuts. Huge boulders in the front yard is en vogue here. The cottage is on a very busy food truck street and traffic/ people finding parking is very busy from 4:30 - 8:00.
