Stay was great. Property was as described and check in/check out was easy. Space was a good size for 2 adults and a dog. Easy access to downtown and other areas in Bend.
Close to downtown Bend, wonderful river view. Walking distance to most places

Thank you, Charles! We are glad you enjoyed our location! We are right on the Deschutes Riverside and only a 10-15 minute walk into Downtown Bend and about a 10 minute drive from almost everything you could want to do in Bend! We would love to host you again in the future!

We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your time here at Bend Riverside Rentals! This is the perfect place to stay if you are looking to relax yet still be in the center of it all. With having views of the Deschutes river it makes it a very easy place to be able to kick your feet up and take in the views. However, if you get the urge to explore, we are just a 10-15 minute walk into the heart of downtown Bend. Not too mention, after a long day of adventuring the heated pool and hot tub will be calling your name!
This place was absolutely perfect. We will be back

The location on the river with a view and near downtown was wonderful. The condo was clean and nice. Bed was very uncomfortable, but that’s my only complaint.

Thanks so much for the review Kimberly! Love to hear that you enjoyed your stay here at Bend Riverside Rentals! The view is pretty spectacular if we do say so ourselves! :) I'm so sorry to hear that the bed was not comfortable for you! The good news however is that a new bed for this condo was actually just ordered! Within the next several weeks, the condo will be getting a little facelift and a brand new bed is part of that! We hope you will come give us another try now that the bed issue will be resolved! Thanks for being a wonderful guest!

Hi Sarah! In the confirmation email we do state that the rental is not equipped with spices and oils. As for the kitchen necessities, we thank you for this information! We will have our housekeeping team take a full inventory of the kitchen and purchase any necessary items! We also have an on site office open 7 days a week from 10am-7pm if you ever need anything. They have extra spatulas, can openers, veggie peelers, and much more!
The location was lovely and would have been a great walk to some nice restaurants and shops if there weren’t major road work going on.

Great to hear that you had a lovely time while staying at our condo! There is indeed construction on Wall St right now but the path that goes along the river still leads you right to downtown in about a 10 minute walk. :) Thanks for being a great guest, hope to host you again!
I am on a road trip and this was the perfect stop for a relaxed evening

Marjorie, we are so happy to hear you enjoyed your unit here at Bend Riverside Rentals! This is surely a hard spot to beat as we are pretty much in the center of it all! You get breathtaking views of the Deschutes river from the comfort of your own home and you are only a short 10-15 minute stroll into the heart of downtown Bend! We will be wishing you all the best on your road trip, but we hope to one day have you back! Take care!
Just as advertised. Everything we needed. Easy access to everything. The sounds of the river and cozy fireplace left us relaxed and comfy.

Great location. The bed seemed quite old and worn. It had all amenities in the kitchen. There were dirty footprint in the bathroom when I arrived and hair in the shower drain. Under the vanity in the bathroom was quite dirty. The place could use some cosmetic updates.The place is dog friendly but there are signs surrounding the property saying "no dogs on grass."

The location is prime and very hard to beat! We are located steps from the Deschutes river, right next door to Pioneer Park, and a 10-15 minute walk into the heart of downtown. This unit is indeed pet friendly but the HOA does not allow the dogs on the fresh green grass as there are two designated potty areas on property as well as the pet friendly park right next door. Also, thank you for bringing the attention of the mattress being worn. We are listening to our guests feedback and believe it may be time to upgrade our mattress! Thank you so much for this information as it helps us a lot. :)
The bathroom was dirty, hair in the shower, but most everything else was good.
Might want to step up the quality of shampoo and conditioner

Thanks, RaNon! We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your time in the Otter Sight condo here at Bend Riverside Rentals! We are truly sorry to hear that the bathroom was not cleaned well. That is most certainly not the level of cleanliness that we hold our team to and we will be discussing with the housekeeper to ensure it does not happen again. So glad that aside from that, everything else was good! Hopefully you enjoyed that instant access to the river trail right outside the back! It certainly makes for a convenient and lovely walk right into downtown! I hope that we will have the chance to host you again in the future and have the opportunity to provide you with a perfect stay! :)
Good location, clean unit. Noisy heater. Hard mattress. Beautiful view. Quiet area. It was a bit unsettling that a hoarder is living in the end unit. And it was uncomfortable to sit on the day beds to watch tv since there was only one chair. Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the location, the cleanliness of the unit, and the beautiful view. We apologize for the issues you encountered with the noisy heater and the mattress not being to your preference; we will look into these to see if improvements can be made. We also appreciate you bringing up the concern about the neighboring unit – your comfort and peace of mind are important to us. Regarding the seating, we understand that more seating options could improve the experience, and we’ll consider this for future updates. Thank you again for your review, and we hope to welcome you back soon!
We loved staying here! The view of the river was amazing, the condo was very comfortable and well stocked, and the proximity to downtown was perfect. Our only complaint was the issue with dogs on the grass. I specifically booked a room on the ground floor with easy access outside for our dog but the complex doesn't allow dogs on the grass. It was only a short walk to the park to walk him however. Otherwise our stay was wonderful!

We thank you for the kind words about our unit Ashley! Our guests seem to love the location we are in and we cannot blame them! We are right along the popular river trail, a short walk to downtown, and centrally located in town. Unfortunately, not allowing dogs on the grass at our property is not up to us, but is the HOA management that makes these rules.. However, we are very grateful that we are steps away from Pioneer Park so that our guests are able to take the furry friends to play somewhere very close!
Lots of Pros about this property . Great location - walking distance to downtown , parks, restaurants, etc . Very clean . Reasonably priced .
Cons - very loud upstairs tenants / residents . Could hear loud walking - stomping early in the morning .
The bed could use an upgrade- very hard and uncomfortable .
Overall we had a great stay !

Barb, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We greatly appreciate your feedback! We will let the owners know of your suggestion about the mattress! We are sorry to hear you were dissatisfied with the parking situation. Each of our riverside cottages has a parking spot in front or beside the condo. Since these condo are right on the riverside, the parking spaces are a bit on the smaller side. However, we do offer a large overflow parking lot for any of our guests with larger vehicles or those who just want a bit of extra space! We would love to have the opportunity to host you again in the future!

Hi Barbara,
This unit indeed was not supposed to be listed as ADA unit, just ground floor. We deeply apologize for this. We have since made the correct changes to ensure this does not happen again in the future. We hope other than this, you were able to enjoy the views and patio of your unit. All the best!

Worst Bed Ever
Worst excuse for a bed ever. Not only was the full size mattress uncomfortable the sheets and blanket were threadbare and the blanket had a hole in it. The pillows were flat and small. No one had cleaned under the bed in quite some time. The river view was nice and other than the dirty floor under the bed, the unit was clean.

Hi Yolanda, we were happy to have refunded you as the room was not up to our standards and have since organized a housekeeping meeting to ensure this does not happen again. We also want to note that as soon as you called, we indeed had someone head right over to you and address each and every issue you brought to our attention. We wish you nothing but the best!
This is an older property but well maintained and quiet unless you have upstairs neighbors. The access to Pioneer Park and the river is great.
This room is advertised as wheelchair accessible. It does have bars around toilet and in shower and the dining bar was low. However, bathroom very small and shower is too small for wheelchair transfers. I could not get under the sink or see myself in the mirrors. We removed box spring with permission because bed and couch were 6-8 inches too high. The staff was cool with what I needed but this room is more suited to an ambulatory person with ADA needs. Also bring your own pillows

Thank you for staying with us and take care.
