Thank you for the lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the home and its walkable location. We’d love to welcome you back for another stay!
Great location in Bend, easy access to the river and restaurants. Nice layout for our family with two young kids - they loved having the little backyard and cafe next door. Thanks for a great stay, we would love to return!
The house is in a great location- near the river, parks, places to eat.Everything was very clean.The beds and pillows were comfortable.The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need, including spices and coffee!
What a great place, tucked away yet close to the river, parks and shopping. The house had all needed items and was very clean and homey. Off-street parking was appreciated. Bend is a great place to visit!
What a perfect home to rent The location was amazing and the house was extremely comfortable. The host was beyond responsive and accommodating. We would love to stay here again.

We really enjoyed staying at this house. It had everything that we needed. The house was roomy and had a great kitchen for cooking. We also enjoyed the backyard to hang out. Central location to restaurants and mountain bike riding. A quick walk to get to the river.
