Property was peaceful and beautiful, owner was responsive. Home in need of some TLC, had a handful of issues in need of attention that also required our attention as well.

Clean and Comfy
The house was very spacious for our multi family trip. Lots of games and fun. The river was beautiful. Tyler was very responsive to any questions I had. Would be nice to have more outdoor chairs to enjoy the river, there was only two outdoor chairs for house that accommodates 12 people. We rented kayaks and floated the river by house. The main entrance to the house was on the bottom level and had to climb stairs to get to kitchen and living area, this was difficult for our elderly family members. The house was clean and well stocked.

Awesome time!
This house was perfect for us since we just needed somewhere to fit all of us and the location made up for all the flaws. Flaws: -Like the prior year reviewers have mentioned, New grill needed!!!!! -Deep cleaning & new paint to the interior would do wonders -6 ball chipped for the pool balls, unplayable -No foosballs and couldn’t find any in town -We didn’t even touch the hot tub. You can smell the chemicals from a mile away and there was a weird bubbly sludge on top. -Had a great horse shoe pit with shoes, but no stakes 😭 Positives: -Tyler was SUPER responsive. -Had more than enough space for everyone and sheets/beds were clean! -Even though the 6ball was chipped, it was a decent pool table -Big kitchen and although we didn’t have enough pans and decent utensils, we brought our own (from reviewers recommendations) and fitted us just fine. -Has 2 fire pits! We stayed during a fireban so we used wood fire pit for the giant jenga that was provided. 2nd was a huge gas pit that we were allowed to use. -Chipmunks we’re adorbs Other: -The float that someone else suggested was great, though want to add if you go in August it is barely enough water to float in. Most of the spots we had to walk through ankle deep. We still had an amazing time! (You walk upstream about 10 mins and hang a right at the only visitors or owners sign. Great spot to get in and was about an hour or so float to the house) Overall had such a great time. Would rent again.

Simply unexpected in disrepair
We didn’t even STAY. This place was in disrepair. From driving up and finding the porch cluttered and siding falling off. Entering the house we found dirty dried footsteps and food/ dirt on the floor. The couches were filthy with dirt, food and animal hair in a place that said no animals. The walls had many repair areas with many scuff marks. The stairs were not cleaned or swept. Up in the master bedroom the closet was full of dirt and tools. The window blinds did not work and there was dead bugs in all of the windowsills. The kitchen was simply gross. The cupboards were filthy with dirt and food, both inside and out. There was a cupboard door that would not close and stayed wide open. There was masking tape holding what hadn’t fallen off of Formica countertops. The top of the cupboard you could see dirt. Also downstairs there was an apparent water leak where there were holes and the paint was falling off. The hot tub was murky brown with foam. We contacted the renter immediately and let him know of some concerns. It just couldn’t be fixed. Not in a timely manner. We had to leave and find another place to stay. Videos and pictures were sent to the renter and I am waiting for a response from him. I am asking for a full refund.

Property by the river is lovely but house needs TLC
Good: big house, well stocked kitchen, lots of games for everyone to enjoy, beautiful view of the river, kayaks available, owner very responsive when our door code didn’t work when we arrived. Bad: house needs a tremendous amount of TLC. Kitchen cabinets falling off hinges, dishwasher falling out of its cabinet, very uncomfortable beds. Very dated property. A lot of broken or missing items (kitchen counter tops, door trim, etc.) Other: bring bug spray! We were eaten alive by mosquitoes which made the river/outdoor area basically unusable. Bring all shower supplies like shampoo, soap, etc., also bring dish soap, toilet paper and paper towels if you’re staying longer then a day or two. There was no extra on hand. Overall, we had a nice stay because we were together and enjoyed playing games and driving into Bend a couple of days. If the property is significantly updated, we’d be willing to return in the future. Otherwise, we’ll try a new place next time we’re in town.
