Very comfy and nice!
A very comfortable and practical place to stay. A lovely home and excellent location. We loved Bend! So many great places to walk from this house! I will say - bring your own coffee. First VRBO I've been to where there were no coffee beans provided. Otherwise, a 10!

Summer family vacation
We had a great time here with our 3 children. There was plenty of room and lots of board games. The house is waking distance to downtown bend which makes it convenient for floating and restaurants. The house is very comfortable with a great kitchen. The owners are very responsive and helpful. Thanks again!

About the host

Hosted by Addie and Byron Kerr

Host profile image
We met in college on the East Coast in the late 90's, got married in Colorado on Engineer Pass in1999 and moved to Bend, Oregon in 2000. We bought Sunshine Cottage as our first home in 2002 and lived in the home until we had a second child in 2017. We enjoy all kinds of outdoor recreation and choose to make Bend home because of its close proximity to the mountains, coast and desert. I has been a wonderful place to raise a family and a great community to be a part of.

Why they chose this property

We love the quiet & peaceful setting in the heart of Bend. Mature trees line the street and friendly neighbors say hello and help each other out leading to a sense of community. We love the close proximity and easy walking distance to downtown and the river trail as well as the easy access to the parkway and getting around town.

What makes this property unique

Having lived here for 15 years, we kept many of our personal mementoes in the home to welcome guests as friends, not strangers.

The player piano is a family heirloom that provides a place for musicians to entertain and family and friends to reminisce.

Just for kicks, there is an Atari flashback with the downstairs TV.

The bedroom floors are still original.

The small calendar framed on the piano is a calendar we found behind the old lath and plaster/ trim when we gutted the home.

The built-in butcher block was made out of unused guitar necks that Byron had leftover from when he worked at Breedlove guitars.

We handpicked the stone in the back patio from a local quarry near Sisters and built all of the fencing and lattice work ourselves.

Byron did most everything in the home and outside himself, including all the fencing and gates, with help from Addie and a few friends!

The gun on the wall over the entry doorway was from Byron’s uncle whom he loved dearly and would take Byron out squirrel hunting as a kid, igniting a lifetime love for hunting and the outdoors.

All of the rocks and findings on the piano are from adventures we’ve taken along the west coast over the past 17 years- many are from the first 11 years of our son, Nathan’s life. We have tried to label some of them to help us remember our trips and where we found them.

The stone in the back patio was quarried by hand from a quarry outside of Sisters. Byron climbed up the cliff and hand chipped it while Addie hauled it to the back of the blue pickup truck you see in the north driveway:)

The photos of the mountains and close-up flowers are from an area in the San Juan mountains in Colorado, known as American Basin. Addie’s family would frequently 4-wheel up there and stop to have picnics during vacations to the area. It is also very near where Addie and Byron got married!
