This lovely home is ready just in time for Memorial Day! Welcome to St Helens Cottage, a sweet, warm and inviting vintage-but-modern home featuring 2 bedrooms (king, queen) and 1 bathroom.

DOWNTOWN LOCATION
You are a mere 2 blocks from everything downtown...some of Bend's finest restaurants, breweries and entertainment. Take an easy stroll into the very heart of downtown Bend, the Old Mill or the Deschutes River. The best of the westside of Bend and the Old Mill is so walkable from this charm-soaked home. The westside of Bend features favorites like 10 Barrel Brewing, Ariana's, The Victorian Café and many more shops and eateries. The Old Mill is home to Bend’s largest cinema, riverfront dining, and shopping galore. Walkscore of 86...hard to find anything closer!

Set up and back from a quiet residential street just 2 blocks from downtown Bend you will love exploring both the inside and outdoor spaces of this charming and generous home. The huge front yard is perfectly suited to relaxing in the sun. Don’t miss the gas BBQ for your summer grilling.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
The 2 bedroom are on either ends of the home. Both beds feature high thread count linens with European style bedding. You'll find extra blankets and pillows in the home as well. The spacious king bedroom is bright and inviting with shaded south facing windows. The king bedroom also has a private workspace and a very generously sized closet. The queen bedroom is on the other side of the home in the sun room. It is private and insulated with 2 layers of custom blinds and A/C provided year round.

WIFI and TV
Free 300+ MBPS internet and 3 smart TVs. There is a TV in each bedroom and in the living room. Each of the smart TVs has ROKU Live TV with 350+ free channels. You can also access all your own streaming subscriptions.

OUTDOORS and PET FRIENDLY
The front yard is park-like and perfect for play and lounging. For kids and pups, please be aware that the fence is 3-4 feet tall in places. Escape artists will have no problem getting free! We do ask you to be whisper quiet in the yard after 10pm.

PARKING
Private off-street parking for 1 standard sized vehicle. If you have a small vehicle, you may be able to pull all the way forward and park a 2nd small, standard sized vehicle behind your car. This home has a shared driveway so it will be very important to not block the neighbor's access. There is paid street parking as well. Please use the QR code in the home to purchase your parking when you arrive.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD
The neighborhood is quaint, quiet and absolutely adorable. Please remember to respect all our neighbors during your stay and observe all Bend's Good Neighbor Guidelines. Please observe all parking instructions and quiet hours between 10pm and 8am. It's easy...Be nice! You're in Bend! This wonderful home sleeps 4 comfortably. Strict limit of 4 guests.

We stayed at the cottage over the 4th of July week, and it was everything we had hoped for. The location was fantastic and we could walk to downtown & several restaurants and the river/park with ease. With having 2 younger kids, the split bedroom floor plan and big front yard was really nice as well. It was cute and clean and overall perfect for our family for our first time visiting Bend!

The vacation rental was excellent all around. The house itself has lots of room, super clean, well amenitized and very comfy.
