Riverside Cottage - Just Steps from the Deschutes

Summary:

Here at “Otter Sight”, you will be a few steps away from the water, and you’ll feel completely immersed in nature with a huge picture window with a breathtaking view of the Deschutes River. You’ll have room for up to 4 on the queen bed, and the twin trundle beds. There’s a perfectly equipped kitchenette, a full bathroom, and tinted windows for privacy. Bring along 2 pets for an additional fee, and make the most of access to the indoor pool from 9:00 AM-10:00 PM daily!



The Space:

Welcome to Bend Riverside Unit 259, which we've nicknamed "Otter Sight." The name says it all. As you walk into this quaint riverfront cottage you immediately see an incredible view of the Deschutes River that's otter this world. You couldn't get any closer to the river without getting wet.



Otter Sight sleeps four with a queen bed and a trundle bed that converts into two twins. It has a kitchenette with a microwave, mini-fridge, and stovetop. Cookware and dishes are provided. There's one full bathroom with a shower and tub.  Flooring has been upgraded to hardwood-like laminate flooring.



The large riverfront window is tinted for privacy. Outside the window is a man-made spillway that creates a beautiful water feature. Two sections of the window open with a screen so you let in the sound of the rushing river.



Feel free to bring along up to 2 pets, as this unit welcomes animals, and make the most of access to the indoor heated pool from 9:00 AM-10:00 PM daily!



Guest Access:

The cottage comes with a unique code which will get you entry into your unit. There is a laundry room on the property, which is open from 9am-10pm daily, same goes as the pool.



This is a 1st floor unit, there are 0 steps required to access the unit.



The Neighborhood:

259 Otter Sight



Getting Around:

You are on the edge of downtown Bend, so once you get here you don't necessarily need to use your car. Everything you need is in walking distance.



Other Things to Note:

This is a cottage in a shared complex, and it's worth noting that from time to time, you might hear everyday sounds coming from neighboring units and common areas within the facility.



This cottage is pet-friendly. There will be an additional pet fee of $69, limit of 2 pets for this unit.



The cottage comes with a limited supply of complimentary coffee, sugar, and creamer.

Tressie, we are so happy to hear that you have enjoyed your time with us! The beautiful view of the Deschutes river from right outside of your window, makes it a pretty hard place to leave sometimes! In these colder months, our guests really seem to love to kick on the fireplace and curl up as they watch the river pass them by. We really hope to have you back in the warmer months to experience a whole different kind of scenery Bend has to offer! Take care, and safe travels back home!

Amazing and relaxing stay! We enjoyed all Bend, OR had to offer. Such a great location close to downtown! The parks nearby can be very busy however, but I didn’t mind. State parks are about 20-30 minutes away, not bad if you’re looking to explore nature! I would say the cleanliness of the place when i arrived was pretty underwhelming. Some dishes had stains, there was pet hair on mattress and pillows, and the ministove had splatter stains. Other than that, such a beautiful location. Definetly recommend,

A friend and i had a short stay in one of the cottages. The studio style was spacious enough for two plus her dog with crate. We chose this for view of dam (awesome) and the trundle bed (very comfortable).The walking path was wonderful on a crisp fall morning. A longer stay is the only thing that would have made it better!

Thank you so much for sharing this lovely review! We’re so glad you and your friend (and her pup!) enjoyed your stay and that the cottage was a comfortable fit. The view of the dam really is something special, especially on those crisp fall mornings. We’re also happy to hear you got to enjoy the walking path, too! We’d love to welcome you back for a longer visit next time!

We had a nice stay at the “Otter Sight” We loved seeing the river out the window and the convenience of walking to downtown. The place was clean, the bed was firm, and the shower was powerful. The pool and jacuzzi were a nice addition as well.
