Pure lovliness!

Such a cozy, wonderful house with a FANTASTIC location, and the kitchen is amaaazing! We were able to walk through the park to shops and restaurants in downtown Bend (despite it being December, outdoor/socially distancted dining was offered most places). The views of the park from the living room and kitchen were also great, and the river setting is lovely. We'd love to return in summer when kayaking and tubing are in full swing. We'll be back!!

Lovely house, convenient location

Just what we needed for our family's stay in Bend. The house is very conveniently located to downtown and even closer is a nice row of good restaurants. The 2 master bedrooms are at opposite ends of the house. The kitchen is well stocked with needed cooking pots, pans, etc. Lovely outdoor space on the river. The only negative is the proximity to the busy road, so there is a fair bit of car noise, though there are very nice plantings that provide good privacy while still allowing for natural light. Very responsive host! Great communication before and during our stay. We had an issue with the gas fireplace (first use of the season) and Kelli addressed the issue very promptly. We would stay again.

Such a gem!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week in this riverfront spot. We didn’t know too much about Bend when we booked but the location was perfect! It’s close to downtown, the old mill district, Drake park and the river put in spots for a float on the Deschutes river. The house is well appointed with a nice kitchen and the supplies you need if you’re wanting to cook or dining in. We walked to dinner nightly because there were SO many amazing restaurants within walking distance. Bedrooms were all nicely furnished with nice linens and comfy beds. Bathrooms were spotless and came with good towels and bath products. We enjoyed the backyard space and the loaner kayaks, SUP boards and tubes that were available. Owners were easy to communicate with, super kind with their welcome and generally just pleasant to work with. It’s a great house in an amazing location and we would have stayed longer if we could!

Great Family Getaway

This was our first Family trip to Bend with our adult children. We couldn't have asked for a better setup and accomodations. Don't let the outside of the house discourage you in size because once you're in, you have more than enough room for everyone. We enjoyed the surrounding Pubs and places to eat but we also enjoy the wonderful kitchen wiith everything we needed. All of us from 8 years old to 53 years old floated the River everyday and we were able to get out at the house right before the Park. It was very convenient. The Parking was a bit tricky but two cars fit in the garage just fine and the 3rd in the driveway. During the day we parked the other two cars up at a park and in the evenings brought them back to be nearby. It was quite easy. Communication with Kelli was great throughout. I accidentally left a few things behind and they sent it all back to our home in a timely manner. The house was very clean, floating tubes, towels, kayaks and more. We took our electric bikes and was able to ride from the house following the River until we decided to turn around. We had a great time at a concert at the amphitheater and of course Bend is just a fabulous area for everything. We will return to this home for sure and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a great location, cleaniness, room for all and wonderful communication with the owners. You will not be disappointed.

Year #4 was great

This was our 4th year at this house. We love it. It’s on the water and family friendly. Kelli is always a perfect host. I’d say the only drawback is the busy street but everything else out weighs the noise that thankfully lessens in the night

Spring in Bend

Our family get together could not have been better. Kelli’s home is the absolute best location to experience old town Bend. We walked to everything. The home was spacious, kitchen was well stocked. The back yard on the river was fantastic. Never a dull moment watching the wildlife and people float by. We have visited Bend many times but this location can’t be topped.

Wonderful trip in Bend for my family

I had my four siblings come and stay with her spouses and it could not have gone over better. I was worried about the noise and the chaos of the location, but the nights were quiet and mornings were blissful. My sister is gonna recommend this to a friend so if you could reach out to me and tell me how I can do that effectively that would be great. Also, I would like to potentially use the same location two years from now when my son‘s graduate from high school. Same time of year.

We really enjoyed staying at your beautiful house. We were so comfortable and there were plenty of towels, blankets and the such. It was too cold to use the river but the location couldn't have been better anyway. We found fun and adventure in every direction. Thank you so much. We would definitely come back in the summer.

Comfortable House/Great Location

This is a lovely house directly on the river with four spacious bedrooms. Our multigenerational family have stayed there twice and would eagerly book it again. The owner is incredibly responsive and gracious. It's a 10 minute walk along the river through beautiful Drake Park into town. I highly recommend this property.

Great location, but needs a deep cleaning

Easy access to the river and provided floaties, paddle boards and kayaks was the best part of this house.The central location allows for easy walking along the park trails and to the downtown area where there are many restaurants and shops.There is a lot to do in the area.Garage parking is definitely a bonus; maybe if you have two small cars they would both fit.One additional car would have to go sideways on the driveway. Street parking is not available.The street is busy and can be noisy.People park on this corner to load/unload to access the river at Drake Park across the street.There were homeless people hanging out on one side of the house by the river's edge for the first 2 days we were there.Kitchen and main living areas are spacious and comfortable and had everything we needed.Unfortunately the house overall can use a lot of TLC and deep cleaning. The outdoor furnitures were dirty so we didn't use them.A mouse ran out of the BBQ cabinet when we opened it.Lots of garage and window cobwebs/dust. Mold in bathrooms, carpet stains, slow draining tubs.We cleaned the living room window sills, kitchen drawer crumbs/debris, washing machine rubber gasket and fridge water dispenser drain before use.Bedding and towels didn't smell fresh and need updating.Sliding glass doors and some windows didn't have screens.Side gate on riverside of house was wonky and wooden slats fell out when we opened it.Shed where floaties are kept was a mess and dusty.For the price we expected a lot more.

Great location with dominant street noise.

As other reviews said, there is a considerable amount of street noise at this location. However it’s a great location to walk to downtown Bend, great food trucks that we frequented and lots of coffee shops and breweries. And yes the Deschutes River is “a step away” from house. Fun to see people on floats, kayaks, paddle boards pass by. It was fun to see your family wave at you from the back patio when you’re the last one in the family to float down the river. We had a good time. And happy we had this experience. Host is excellent!

About the host

Host profile image
Hi Everyone! My name is Kelli and I live in Portland, OR. I am a city girl who loves to explore the outdoors. I spend most of my time with my family, working out and trying new restaurants around town. Although I am an Oregonian at heart, I crave sunshine, warmth, and new experiences so I am often traveling.

With an extensive family background experience in property management, I thoroughly enjoy making sure everyone has a seamless and unforgettable stay. I love getting to know other people, so do not hesitate to reach out! Cheers.

Why they chose this property

This is our second home and love everything about the home and location; On the Deschutes River and surrounded by restaurants, food carts, breweries, and shops! Open and spacious floor plan, large rooms, close proximity to everything: Downtown, Old Mill District, Newport and Galveston. We also love all what Bend has to offer and take full advantage of all the outdoor sports!

Bend is a very special place., but being on the river is even better. The home was built in the mid 50's and we have kept a lot of those architectural features. This home just went through an extensive remodel in 2018 and was torn apart and brought down to the studs. We moved the kitchen onto the river, vaulted the ceilings, added a third bathroom, new electrical wiring, new plumbing, new heat and A/C, new roof, everything is brand new. We love the new lush landscaping and easy access to the river from the back patio. A very special and unique property!

What makes this property unique

The high end finishes seamlessly blends the mid-century hip & sophisticated vibe with modern conveniences for the way we live today. This home was carefully planned for the ultimate in relaxation and enjoyment! This home has River views from every room! The rooms are large and live very comfortably. Nothing beats being on the river in the middle of all the activity and fun that Bend has to offer.
