Adorable and walkable.

This property was within walking distance of so many downtown spots! From the key code entry to the property handbook, we felt like we had utter freedom to come and go as we pleased from the get-go. It was great having at least two dedicated parking spots in the driveway available to us. The fire pit offered a wonderful place to enjoy an evening of hot cocoa next to the setting sun over the trees and the river. Even though we stayed here October of 2019, it would be an ideal location to kayak or paddle board from in the river. That said, I had the opportunity to take advantage of the trails that run close to the house to go for a morning jog. The ice in the freezer was much appreciated, and the clean white towels were a relief to come home to after a day of walking around town.

Great Location

Stayed here for 5 days in September. Yes, this place has a great location due to being right on the Deschutes River but its also within walking distance to all kind is restaurants, breweries, bars, shops and the grocery store. Back yard is beautiful with a nice sitting area next o the river. We did not use it much as we were on the go with hiking and MTB activities. The place was clean and well appointed. Good communication with manager. I would consider renting the same place if back in Bend. Construction around the outside of the house was underway but was not active while we were there and was not intrusive.

Great location. Sometimes noisy. Would recommend

Loved the location. Within close proximity to the 3 rapids that you can tube down. Also very close to bike shops, cafes, and a 15 min walk to the grocery store (Market of Choice). Side of home is a part of a foot bridge path to cross the river, which sits behind the house's back yard so there is a fair amount of noise. Home has washer and dryer for wet clothes after tubing. Showers equipped with soap, shampoo, and conditioner. Couldn't ask for better amenities. Would stay again.

Lacrosse weekend in Bend

Had a wonderful time at this vacation rental. The layout of the house a bit odd that it has no river view from inside the house - but this is made clear from the description on the VRBO site. It is a bit awkward to get to the backyard and enjoy the beautiful river, but very close to lovely walking paths and parks. Nice bedrooms and linens. Hostess very accommodating and helpful. Would stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend this house to others! Great location!

We loved being right on the river, as well as, the ability to walk downtown and to the Old Mill area. It was a hot weekend so we were able to take advantage of floating the river. We've been coming to Bend for years and hadn't done that before. It was so much fun and will now be a regular activity. It was my husband, our two adult children and their significant others. It's hard to please everyone, but it was unanimous that everyone loved this house and we'll be back! Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us! The Property Manager, Deb, was very responsive and helpful too!

Not bad, but some things to consider

While we enjoyed our visit to Bend, there was some good and some bad here. The house was clean and ready when we arrived. We liked being on the river. We purchased some tubes and each day would walk upstream about 15 minutes, then float back down to the yard, or down farther to Drake Park--you really can't beat that. Walking downtown or to the Old Mill District was as easy as advertised. Among the downsides: as you can see in the photos, the house is directly next to the bridge across the river to Columbia Park. I initially thought that was an upside, but it turns out that you can hear every foot crunch on the gravel path to the bridge, and the traffic is constant, day and night, especially on the weekend. That might not be a problem if the windows were closed, but the house doesn't have air conditioning. Maybe you don't expect that, but I did--we specifically discussed it when I booked, because of young kids who would have to nap during the hottest part of July. When we arrived it was 86 degrees *inside* the house. (To her credit, the day after we arrived and at my request, the manager installed a portable air conditioning unit that kept the temperature down into the mid/high 70s.) The bridge, as it turns out, is also a good place for some jerks to throw glass bottles into the yard. My sister-in-law and my 8-year-old stepped on broken glass. I spent about two hours picking up shards. Even if you avoid this hazard, you'll have to rake goose poop out of the grass daily. The front door apparently sits wrong in the frame, so the electric lock sometimes does not work. After being locked out for half an hour we eventually figured out that pulling the knob toward you before entering the code allowed the deadbolt to release without getting stuck. The appliances are all quite dated. I didn't care that much about this, but you might. There is no ice maker in the freezer, for example; you'll have to fill the two trays that were in there. There are a couple of couches in the living room, but no lights adjacent to them, so don't plan to sit and read. In the bathrooms there are no toilet paper holders, and no towel racks save the one on the shower door and one hand towel holder on the vanity, both in the master. The master bathroom also had a very weird light switch that nobody could consistently work properly. All in all we had a good time and the house was fine, but I'm not sure whether I'd book it again.

Excellent Backyard Space and River Access

Rented paddle boards and launched right out of the backyard! This and the bbq, and firepit were highlights of this location. Things that were mildly annoying were that there were not towel holders, or tp holders in the bathroom and the fence between the very busy pedestrian walkway and the backyard is chain link, so there is little to no privacy in the backyard. Close to parks and breweries, 15 min walk to downtown

The perfect place!

Right on the river, walking distance to everything. This place was exactly what we were looking for. The house was very comfortable and the outside space is just amazing. We will be renting this again, no question.

Weekend Getaway

My friends and I had a wonderful weekend getaway in Bend Oregon. The house was in a great location to walk (10 - 15 minutes) to a lot of the desirable downtown locations, and not far at all for a trip to the mountain. The river is directly behind the house, which would make for a great summertime hangout spot. It was a little cold, so we didn't spend much time back there, but I would love to come back to this house in the summer. The house was very clean on arrival, with a lot of nice upgraded features. The layout of the house is great, I really liked how the kitchen, living room, and dining area were all open. The Kitchen does need a little updating, but aside from that the house was great. I would highly recommend this house for a 3 to 6 person group. We ended up only having five people, but the house was more than spacious enough to have 6. I look forward to coming back to this house on future Bend trips.

Comfortable Property on the River

A fabulous location and a great weekend get away! Comfortable amenities. It is a shame you don't have a view of the river from the house. We wanted to kayak down the river but could not find a rental that didn't require us to portage it up to our spot.( Maybe next time). The fire ring was a nice addition.

Response time to communication was quick. The house is clean and comfortable. It is equipped with everything we needed for our stay.

Half way between The Old Mill and The Old Downtown

We were the first renters at this location. This home is right on the river. We enjoyed river runs and lovely nights at this location. If you have young children, you would appreciate the playground right across from the river( use the walking bridge which is located right next to the house). With this convenience we experienced many runners and bikes passing by the house as we were trying to sleep at night and early in the morning. The owner of this property is eager to make any possible changes to make the guests feel welcome, so I admire for that. I will bring back my family again to experience changes.
