Spring Break
Such a fun little spring break getaway with the perfect house. When I say this homes location is convenient it really was just minutes to everything we were looking for. We went hiking, tasted so many beers at all the local breweries, ate great food, and even found time for shopping. All with in minutes of the house. The house was very clean and had everything you could possibly imagine. We traveled with 2 dogs and the fenced in back yard space was a great help for potty breaks while at the house. The house is a perfect renovation of modern while still having some of the charm of an old house and old woodwork. We had a great time and will definitely use this location again when we come back.

Pleasant Stay
Clean, comfortable and very well appointed with no scrimping on products. There wasn't any thought on having to make do on what was available to us. We were able to walk to Drake park and town, and there is an awesome place to eat called "Spork" maybe a 5 minute walk away. Thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay.

Wonderful first trip to Bend
We loved our stay in Bend and the house was great for our family of four. We rented mountain bikes from Sunnyside sports - shout out to those guys they were awesome. We walked to music in the park, walked to breweries, explored some great restaurants and floated the Deschutes. Fantastic trip and house location.
