About this property
LOCATION: quiet and central! Cottage In The Heart Of Historic Downtown Bend!
This cottage is the perfect Bend location for activities, foodies, craft beer lovers, or just quiet respite. You can choose to visit as many of the attractions that Central Oregon is famous for or just soak in the peace and quiet of the location. The cottage is truly in the heart of Bend! Inquire now through VRBO/ homeaway The best of our town is nearby, as you can walk to Historic Downtown, the Deschutes River, Drake Park or the Old Mill. The coolest new places are a short walk away! All the Box Factory restaurants and shops, Podski, McMenamins and the fabulous Market of Choice are all in the neighborhood. Proximity of our cottage to 'Boneyard Brewery' born in the neighborhood has relocated yet so much great history abounds in the very nearby. Be sure to visit the Deschutes Historical Museum in the historic Reid School 3 minutes away. The Bend westside is just a 10 minute walk away over the foot bridge through the famous Drake Park; or via Galveston bridge to breweries and parks and groceries at Newport Market. Inside the cottage there are two well furnished bedrooms. One with a queen bed and the other with a full/double bed. Luxurious high thread count pure cotton linens, fluffy towels, cozy quilts (down and down alternative) in the winter. The queen also has a mattress heater; so welcome on cold nights! Comfortable 'vintage eclectic chic' decor. Check out the antique quilts decorating the walls of the bedroom. Cozy gas fireplace in winter for that lovely warming radiant heat. Claw foot tub/shower in the bath with a step stool for easier access. (There are no 'grab bars' so you must have good balance to navigate your getting into and out of the tub. Any damage to the towel racks misused as 'grab bars' will be charged.) Our kitchen is complete with all you need to create your own meals including a quiet stainless steel interior dishwasher, and garbage disposal. The vintage electric range is still working great with the large coil burners. Seasonings and pantry staples are also on the shelf to help the chef. And Market of Choice is soooo close! So many choices!!! There is even a small dining nook. Bedrooms have darkening curtains in case you want to sleep in or nap. The beds have all cotton sheets and a variety of pillows and quilts to suit your needs. The enclosed front porch is also a nice place to hang out. Shade and sun in the lovely, quiet fenced yard. Lots of parking in back, off the South facing alley access. Meditate here; no distractions, the street is that quiet. The internet is DSL, provided by Century Link, and our upload speed may not be sufficient for content creators. The signal is often 'buried' from having the cottage vacant for months at a time and needs to be restarted when first moving in. A flat screen TV is mounted in the living room which receives local affiliates of CBS, ABC, and NBC as well as PBS (4 stations) and a few others. Small iPod/iPhone doc radio. Bend is so great all year around! Check our accommodations for a winter visit. Stay in our cottage and you are in the heart of it all!

About the host
Hosted by Lorlee and Thomas Ackerman
We have always loved Bend with it's small town charm and recreation galore. Many years later we are still here and still loving it.
Why they chose this property
Great neighborhood with older trees for shade, historical homes and low traffic. Quiet yet in the heart of Bend!
What makes this property unique
Just one of the several thousand 'westside mill houses' that are so very cute and original built out of necessity for housing and customized by the families according to need and means. Historically this house was Ole Halvorson's family home (number two). The Deschutes Historical Museum is a great place to visit while in Bend and only a short walk away! The enclosed front porch with the sweet divided light windows make a great resting place to ponder. You can wander to McMenamins or walk on past to downtown Bend; shop, drink a craft brew, or enjoy a fine meal. Or take the other direction and find the Box Factory, Podski, Miyagi, Immersion brewery, Crosscut Taphouse; choices galore! The Old Mill District is a little further and you can catch a movie, shop, or have another fine meal and a cocktail. The location is perfect.
