We found the home to be exactly as described. Location was perfect. Accommodation with parking and hot tub was a bonus. Communication with the host was easy and responsive. We loved our stay for a family reunion and look forward to another stay in this very place!
We loved our stay at River West! This is a great house, well decorated, and it feels even larger than it is. Perfect place for our family of four (2 adults and 2 teenagers) to stay a couple of nights and explore Bend. The house is in a great walkable location to Drake Park and surrounding restaurants. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.
We had a great star at this property. Host was very communicative and helpful. The house was close to many amenities and the Hot Tub was great! Would stay again in a heartbeat.
We enjoyed our stay at Twin Elms. Great location within walking distance of old town Bend. The home is very comfortable, equipped and up to date. The layout and decor are exceptional.

Thanks Ann!
We're so glad you enjoyed our home and were able to have a successful work week too. Your team were wonderful guests.
Hoping you'll book another stay with us in the future.
This was our third stay here, and again it was great. The house is very comfortable, places to sit and read, work on puzzles or hang out as a family. The kitchen is well-equipped and functional. Beds and bedrooms all make for good sleeping, and each bedroom has easy bathroom access. The bathroom in the main suite includes a deep jacuzzi tub, which our 3 1/2 year old grandson enjoyed. We made good use of the hot tub as well. Overall this is a great place to stay.The hosts are great with communication and very responsive to any issues or requests. They have quick turnaround on messages.The house is close to restaurants, brew pubs, bakeries, coffee shops and an excellent grocery store. There’s a kids playground about a 5 minute walk away, and easy access to walking paths along Mirror Pond and the Deschutes River.We love staying here. Already thinking of a trip next June.I should say that we now come early in the summer because at least one trip in September was very smoky from wildfires. The fire season has been running longer, and the smoke was intense that September. It’s a problem anywhere in the Northwest these days unfortunately.
This house was perfect for our family of 4 and could work for larger groups. Loved the location and being able to easily walk to Galveston, downtown, and the Old Mill District. Will definitely come back!

Beautiful home in perfect location
We had a fabulous time staying at Twin Elms & spring skiing at Bachelor. Beautifully appointed home that would comfortably accomodate large or multi-families; walking distance to many great restaurants, bars, coffee, breakfast spots plus biking, parks & river.
Hosts are wonderfully helpful & easily handled very last minute reservation.
We look forward to staying again- hopefully, this new listing will be available as I'm sure it will become very popular!

My friends and I had a wonderful weekend in Bend and this house was absolutely perfect. Clean, welcoming, spacious and walking distance to everything. We especially enjoyed the large kitchen for cooking meals together and the outdoor space where we could relax and enjoy the hot tub. Everything about our stay was easy and wonderful. We are already planning our trip for next year! Thanks so much for hosting such a wonderful house!

Amazing house & location!
Loved the home! Beautiful, comfortable, clean, spacious & relaxing. Excellent location! Two blocks from 10 Barrel, 5' walk to Drake Park & Good Life. The hot tub was a nice bonus after a long hike. I love that they put new water in it after every guest. My girlfriends & I will definitely be back here again! Only thing that could've made it better was if they had a few bikes to use there. Can't wait to go back!

About the host
Hosted by Rick and Mary Christen
We are both lifelong Oregonians. We lived in Portland for many years, but visited Bend whenever we got a chance to take advantage of the great weather and outdoor activities. We enjoy hiking, biking, skiing, and kayaking. We love the ever-changing weather, beautiful scenery, clear mountain lakes, and fresh fragrant air. Also, the small town feel but amazing entertainment, shopping, art galleries, and award winning beer and restaurants.
Why they chose this property
We began visiting Bend together in the early 80's and were always blown away by the weather, beauty and outdoor recreation. When we got the opportunity to move here in 1996, we jumped in with our two kids, 4 and 2, and embarked on the Bend adventure! Twin Elms (as we call it) is right in the middle of everything, but on a quiet, idyllic street. Our home is easily walkable to everywhere you want to go in minutes (parks, restaurants, bakeries, cool shops, coffee etc.). Elgin Street is situated in Bend’s eclectic Westside.
What makes this property unique
We really enjoy this new topographically elevated 3 level Prairie style home. There is plenty of room to get away from each other or gather together, even if there are 8 people. It is handsomely situated between two very large 100 year old Elm trees, left over from an old mill house teardown, so it has a well established feel to it. We love sitting on the shady balcony, 2 stories up, looking out over the neighborhood and city skyline. The cool Elm canopy and the sound of the chirping birds makes this a peaceful oasis.
