Steps to the Deschutes, 10 Minute walk to Downtown
Summary:
If you’re craving a mellow Bend escape, this spot keeps things simple. You’ve got an awesome view of the Deschutes, the river trail right outside, and downtown just a 10-minute wander away (beer included… well, you have to buy it, but still). Inside, there’s room to spread out, relax, cook if you feel like it, and just enjoy being here and taking in the views!
The Space:
Consider this your easy Bend escape. This second-floor condo has two brand-new queen mattresses (one in the bedroom, and one in the living room for the Murphy bed), all new hardwood floors, cozy rugs, fresh paint, and a new dining setup that makes the whole space feel bright and relaxed.
The bedroom has its own full bathroom, TV, and a locking door for privacy—kind of like a one-bedroom apartment with bonus space. In the living area, the Murphy bed is comfy and the kitchen has everything you need if you feel like cooking… or just grabbing leftovers before heading out for another local beer.
Kick back with the Smart TV, sip something cold while staring at the Deschutes River, or wander out to explore Bend’s breweries, trails, and gorgeous scenery. You’ll also have access to the indoor heated pool and hot tub from 9 AM to 10 PM if you need a little extra unwinding. Especially handy after those long days at the mountain!
Please note: this unit is not pet-friendly. Any violation will result in a $250 fee charged to the guest’s card.
Guest Access:
The condo 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 2nd floor unit, there are steps required to access the unit with NO elevator on property.
The Neighborhood:
216/217 Dam Pretty View
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 condo 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.
The condo comes with a limited supply of complimentary coffee, sugar, and creamer.

The view from this place is absolutely amazing! Waking up and having a cup of coffee while listing to the rush of the water outside was so relaxing! We thoroughly enjoyed staying here and would definitely stay here again!

Bend Riverside Rentals is a hidden gem in Bend. Walkable to downtown, right on the Deschutes River and affordable! Our room was a two bedroom, two bath unit with a full kitchen and fireplace. The interior of the unit has been updated and is very comfortable. We will definitely stay here again!
The exterior of the complex is quite aged, but the interior has been re-furbished, and we had a very pleasant stay.
The views were great, the location was quite convenient for all of our activities (especially the 4th Fireworks, which we watched from a middle school about 2.5 miles away from the condo).
Overall, it was a great VRBO, no complaints.

We are thrilled to hear that you had a great experience with us, Mark! Because all of these units are individually owned each one is different and some of them are very nice on the inside. The location here is also absolutely amazing as well as that view. We hope to welcome you back in the future!
Riley was very sweet
We loved the view little noisy above us but we got through it.
The bed dipped toward the middle so did not sleep well and pillows had no shape to them so I’m thinking if those two things were fixed it would be a 5

Paula, thank you so much for this feedback! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the views and our staff here! We will be sure to let the owner of this unit know that it may be time for a new mattress and pillows. Thanks for staying with us!
We had a wonderful stay. Pet friendly and very clean. There were a couple of issues: Towel Rack, in the kitchen, fell apart when i bumped it - looked like a loose screw. The beds, yikes. I expected the murphy bed to be un comfortable, and it did not disappoint. The main bed was as bad.

Great location! As other reviews mentioned noise from neighbors is for real. We had a pet friendly place but we have a non shedding small dog. We found a lot of different dog hair throughout our stay but maybe thats normal for pet friendly places. We parked outside our window and left our locked bikes on our truck because there are outside cameras and a closing gate. They dont close the gate and cameras don’t work/record. Our very expensive bikes were stolen. Property management didn’t get back to us. We filed a police report and the police recovered one bike thankfully. Otherwise a quaint older place with perfect amenities.

Thanks so much for your review! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the location, amenities, and overall charm of the property. That said, we’re very sorry for the concerns you experienced with cleanliness, noise, and most importantly the security issue with your bikes, as we know how upsetting that must have been. We do want to let you know that when you called, we immediately informed the HOA who then gave you a call just minutes later! As the property management, we only manage the insides of the units. We do not have anything to do with the exterior, parking lot, or anything else... We truly appreciate your honesty and are happy the space itself still provided a comfortable setup for your stay.

Oh well
The owner has remodeled the property for sure, but somehow the unit smelled of cigarette smoke. Aired it out for two days. The herd of elephants over us arose at 6 am and did who knows what until 10 am, returning at 11pm. The parking is great; proximity to downtown great; kitchen set up great; bathrooms nice; good for 3-4 people; the dam is loud if you leave the door open. For the price, it’s fine. Just have to be prepared for noisy upstairs people.
