You are also welcome to trickle charge your electric vehicle over night while parked in back. There is a 120v power source at the parking area.

SHARED SPACES Each home has its own private front and rear entrance, so there are no shared entrances. Outdoor spaces are shared. North Sister shares one wall (kitchen wall and living room TV wall) with kitchen/living room next door. When the home was renovated in 2017, additional insulation and noise block was installed in all the walls around the home. The insulation helps so much, but the home is not soundproof.
QUIET HOURS This home is nestled into a sweet and historic corner of downtown Bend. This is a peaceful area and is not appropriate for loud and late gatherings. Evenings are quiet but you may hear folks walking or driving by as they head for dinner at Jackson's Corner or coffee in the Box Factory. Due to shared walls, we ask all guests to be respectful of noise. City of Bend quiet hours are from 10pm to 8am and are enforced as are Bend's Good Neighbor Guidelines. Thank you for respecting our neighbors and helping everyone enjoy this retreat in Bend.
