About this property

Centrally located to everything you want to do in Bend!

This 1950’s mid-century home has been lovingly updated. A mid-century modern house with an urban feel. Everything about this home is beautiful, from its refinished hardwood floors to the new kitchen and bath, it is charming and maintains the feel of its era. Tastefully decorated with prints from local artists, you will begin experiencing Bend the moment you walk in.

Walk one block to Juniper Park, with its the unique playground and Family Recreation Swim area and waterslide, fitness center and tennis courts. In the late afternoon, hike Pilot Butte and enjoy panoramic views of Bend, the Cascade Mountains and the sunset. Or, if you are just looking to relax, you can sit out on the back deck with a glass of wine and a good book.

Mid-town delivers just what the name implies – you are within a mile or two of most everything you would want to do, see, or experience in Bend. Minutes to downtown, Old Mill, Box Factory, Drake Park, Hayden Homes Amphitheater. Add to that the short distance to Mount Bachelor, hiking and biking trails and the Deschutes, you will find yourself in the perfect location no matter the season.

The home is light and bright and has a spacious feel. There is plenty of storage for your things so that you can unpack and feel at home. In the kitchen, you will find all that you need, beautiful new appliances, quartz counter tops, open shelving, and pantry. Bedrooms are quaint and comfortable with 680 thread count cotton sheets for a good night sleep.

The outdoor space is lovely with a deck, table, chairs, umbrella, a gas grill, and string lights. We have just completed the new gas fire pit area. The yard is ample with plenty of room to play a game of Cornhole (provided).

This is the perfect retreat from which to explore Bend.

Just needed a place to sleep as we were attending our aunt and uncle's 67th wedding anniversary.

Check in was easy, internet good, beds were very comfortable. We just need a place to sleep and have coffee in morning and a comfortable place to return to and it was perfect for this.

This house is amazing!

The house has been so thoughtfully updated. It’s really beautiful. We were staying in Bend for a few days for me to recover from surgery at the local hospital, and it was the perfect place for that. Laurie was extremely responsive and kind. I hope we can stay there again sometime (without the surgery part!)

Quiet and cozy

The house was great! Very clean and all basic amenities were available. Check in and access to the house was simple and convenient. There are plenty of coffee and food places near by and Pilot Butte was walking distance! The area was quiet and safe. Downtown is an easy walk. The only reason for not getting a full 5-stars was that the beds were quite firm. That is a personal opinion and some others may differ. Overall, it was a great place to stay and the host went was cordial and attentive if anything was needed. We highly recommend this place.

Great place

Great house. We had plenty of room and it was very comfortable and very quiet. It was close to everything. It was great to have a washing machine and a dishwasher. Laurie was a wonderful and caring host. A couple things a would add would be soap in the kitchen and body wash/shampoo in the shower. Those are little things that make a big difference, I think. Also, and this has nothing to do with Laurie, but the cleaning crew could do a bit of a better job. There was hair everywhere, in the bedding/shower/walls. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone.

Nothing short of amazing!!

We’ve stayed in a lot of vacation rentals, hotels, etc and this by far our favorite! It’s located in quiet neighborhood, but very close to downtown and all of the shopping favorites. The house is very, very clean, updated, and just over all well kept. I’ve found that the houses are never as good as the pictures, but that was not the case here! The house was even better than the pictures. The beds were so comfortable. We did have a small issue with the smart lock (probably user error) and called the owners. Lauries husband fixed the lock right then and there with me on the phone. We also had to modify our reservation 2 different times (before our arrival date) and both times Laurie was completely understanding. Laurie was more then willing to answer all the questions we had prior to arrival and always responded quickly. We will definitely be returning!

We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more! The listing is an excellent representation of the home and instructions provided before and during our stay were simple and easy. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen is nicely equipped for making meals, and the backyard is a great place to sip on morning coffee in the sun or enjoy the fire pit in the evening. The neighborhood was quiet and the location allows an easy walk to downtown Bend. We would happily stay here on our next visit!

EXTENDED our stay to 8 nights - 6 star rating ******

PERFECT! Detached single family home, private, completely remodeled, two full size bedrooms with a detached full bathroom, perfectly sized living room, dining area and all new kitchen. There's a huge washer and dryer. Solid furnishings, with lots of natural light and plenty of lights recessed lights throughout the house. It's spacious with a large yard, bbq and I think outdoor fireplace (we were there in January so we didn't use the outdoor amenities). The owners may have used an interior designer as there is no clutter and the house is tastefully decorated. Everything one needs to cook a meal is included as well as dishwasher liquid and laundry powder.

Nice place good location

We liked staying here, and took advantage of hiking nearby Pilot Butte and visiting the Juniper Park pool. The only problem we had was the AC was broken during a weekend of 90 degree weather. Even so it wasn't a huge problem since the house seems well insulated and its windows all open easily. We would stay here again.
