Another great visit. No issues and would return. The last step in the video about operating the front door lock I believe is backwards. Final step - you turn the knob clockwise to open and counter clockwise to lock.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you found the location convenient.
If there’s anything we could improve to make your experience a 5-star stay, we’d truly appreciate your suggestions
We had a great stay, the location was fantastic - walkable to everything and a beautiful view out of the front door. It was clean and comfortable and we would definitely stay here again!
Super clean and very easy check-in/check-out. Great location with proximity to Drake Park. Due to the location, expect some level of car noise throughout the night, but it's a breeze to enjoy Old Bend while staying here. Overall a great place to stay.
The location of this property could not be better! Small sweet space that had everything we needed for two nights, nothing fancy, but the basics were covered. Would recommend this space others and would absolutely book again.
A fantastic weekend in Bend! It was an easy walk to the shops and restaurants. Drake Park is stunning and the riverwalk trail is amazing. It was easy to pop home if we needed something- it was a cozy stay. Thanks!

Hello Christine, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are glad that this home fits exactly what you needed. But we are left wondering what we could have done to earn a 5 star review. VRBO does consider anything less than 5 stars as subpar and we would have loved to know what could have been done to enhance your stay! It was a pleasure hosting you and we would gladly have you back.
This is right across the street from Drake Park and in walking distance to downtown and many go to places. Bed was large with nice bedding and pillows. The app that they give you is super user friendly.
The property was perfect for 1 or 2 people. The separate and large sitting room was very comfortable. The bed was nice and bedroom had plenty of drawer space for clothes. The kitchen worked well for me as a cooked
