Such a great stay. Beautiful, spacious house and property right on the river with everything close by. We had paddle boards and kayaks and life jackets at our disposal and lots of cool seating all around the property. We enjoyed every second in this house and wished we would have stayed longer.
Amazing all around! Incredible views, great amenities, perfect location. One of the best we’ve stayed in!

Beautiful riverfront property close to Drake Park and Old Bend. Home is well stocked and professionally managed. Comfortable beds, spacious and well designed home with 2 car garage. We skied at Bachelor and enjoyed walking to nearby restaurants. Quiet neighborhood and excellent location.

This house is amazing! Great location, lots of space and felt right at home the moment we arrived. Walked to the park and great restaurants even with temperatures in the 30's! Loved sitting by the fireplace and relaxing while watching out the windows at the amazing view of the Deschutes River.

This place is spectacular. So clean, so comfortable, so spacious. We loved the furniture inside and out. This is easy walking distance to so many shops and restaurants. We even walked to a concert at the amphitheater. 10 out of 10!

This is an excellent property for a family vacation . It is a very open layout, with so much room to socialize. Kitchen was great to cook for a crowd. Upstairs living area really helped when you need a separate area for kids or privacy. The rear yard rests on the river and is exceptional for relaxing and feeding the ducks, highly recommended !

We really enjoyed hosting Thomas They were considerate, followed all the house rules, and made hosting effortless. Would love to have them stay again!
What a beautiful house and an amazing location. We had an amazing stay and had everything we needed. You can walk to bars, restaurants or just serene walks along the river. The house was well stocked with games, puzzles, kitchen needs, spices, towels and toiletries. The hot tub was clean, warm, and we used it everyday! Property Management company was helpful and check-in was a breeze! We will be back!

Janel, thank you so much for the positive rating of your recent visit to A Stone's Throw Bungalow.
Loved the unit and would stay again! A couple of minor thoughts for little updates that I think would be appreciated by future guests:- Supply soap and shampoo from a local vendor. These items were from Amazon Grocer and kind of 'low-end' for such a nice high end property!- Supply a few more bathroom towels in reserve in each bathroom- The Sonos was a bit finicky as only 1 speaker would play and a few of us who have Sonos at our homes were unable to access (Don't know why).Really minor thoughts....and loved our stay!

Thank you, Lee! I'm so glad you loved your stay and would return. I truly appreciate your thoughtful feedback—I'll look into upgrading the toiletries, adding extra towels, and troubleshooting the Sonos system. Hope to host you again soon!
The house was perfect for our group, collegiate ski racing team from Michigan. The boys had plenty of room to spread out with all of the living areas and beds. In between racing, they had to keep up with their college courses and the house was perfect for their needs. It is well decorated, with a fully stocked kitchen that is very large. In the evenings we parents would make dinner with the team, and we’re also able to enjoy the home. It is a five minute drive from downtown, and just under a 30 minute drive to Mount bachelor. It is in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of a few restaurants and a brewery. The rental agency was helpful and made entry into the home easy. I would definitely look forward to staying here again.

Thank you so much, Margaret! I’m thrilled to hear the house was a perfect fit for your ski team and that everyone had the space and setup they needed—both for downtime and keeping up with classes. I’m glad the kitchen and layout worked well for shared meals and that the location made it easy to enjoy both Mt. Bachelor and downtown Bend. We’d absolutely love to host you all again anytime!
