About this cottage rental
Wow! I started in May 2010 how time flies when you are having fun! I am so happy I have been able to offer this fantastic vacation home on the river to so many wonderful people! Enjoy spring skiing or on the hot and sunny days take a paddle board or kayak out right from our yard! We provide the boards and boats you enjoy the fun! Since we began they have added a surf feature on the river! Surfers paradise ride the wave until you fall off. The city also created a safe passage for floaters so you can put in at the cottage float to Mirror Pond, take the bus up river, put in and float all the way back to the cottage! There are only a few rentals in Bend that you can do that from. We are uniquely situated right on the River between the Old Mill section and downtown. Many guests never drive their car the entire time they are here. Everything is within walking distance from the cottage, including tremendous brew pubs, restaurants and shops. We set out to make our pet-friendly cottage a 5 star vacation destination home and that is how everyone has rated us. You must read our reviews! From the very beginning, our plan was to do everything we could to make your vacation perfect. We provide a lush and welcoming cottage complete with the finest quality furnishings and amenities. You'll discover a beautifully-appointed kitchen with abundant spices and most of the basics you'd need for cooking. The living room has an enormous HD TV with Blu-Ray; the charming bedrooms are attractive and unique and also have new smart T.V.'s We just splurged on new bedroom furniture for the master suite, you'll love it. We also put new flooring in the main rooms, kept the carpet in the bedrooms. The up dated look is fantastic. I want to move in. The baths offer your choice of a roomy shower with the most incredible ornate glass Crane glass, or an antique ball and claw foot tub for a deep soak. There is a full laundry room. We provide welcome wine, a s'more kit for the fire pit by the river; and the wood for the fire also. Coffee beans and a grinder (with regular coffee maker and a French press) and so much more. We have completely decorated our riverfront cottage thinking of your every need. The photos will knock you out! There is all-new flooring and carpeting, as well as all-new furnishings and linens to give it that great resort, clean feel. In 2012, we added new. kitchen appliances.The French doors from the kitchen open onto a large new trex deck and expansive yard directly on the Deschutes River where you can swim, fish or experience any river sports you wish! (There is a fence to keep your pets and kids from the river, when you don't want them down there, alone. There is a very cool outside bar, plus all kinds of dining sets with umbrellas, comfy Adirondack chairs Our Four Seasons: Each season has gems waiting to be discovered. In the winter, Mt. Bachelor is a mecca for skiers and boarders; plus, there are many areas to cross-country ski. Making snowmen with the little kids is such fun. In the spring, you have baby ducks, geese, osprey, eagles and blossoms everywhere. As the greens explode in the trees and everything is in bloom, many of those snow sport fans shift over to golfing, bicycling, running and hiking. What can't you do here in summer? Our summer sports equipment includes stand-up paddleboards, kayaks and floaties (all are provided at no extra charge). Fall brings us the fabulous colors, and things start to quiet down to an easier pace. Relaxing by the river remains a favored pastime, as well as most of the summer sports. We welcome friendly dogs, and they give us solid paws up ratings, too. Dogs love the big riverfront backyard and they can swim right here! It's easy for them to get in and out of the river because we have , and best of all steps down to the water for you and your kids and pets. Last summer, our cottage was rented every single day. The only thing I hate is when we are vacant, because that means someone is missing the vacation of a lifetime. So I will deal for last minute bookings. But if you are really smart, you will book TODAY and receive your desired time. Look at my calendar; you will notice we book well in advance. So book early if I have convinced you this will be one of the best vacations you have ever had. It really will be.

What a wonderful vacation! This house is right in the Deschutes River with access to river rafting and a footbridge across the river to a great kids park, well appointed with everything you’d need for entertaining, a caring host that lived nearby, and a big driveway that fit four cars. We will be back to this property … it’s a magical place.

Jackie is an amazing hostess with great communication and so helpful! The cottage will exceed your expectations with its amenities, location and views!

The inside is equally impressive with all the amenities! Comfy beds, loads of pillows, blankets and a stocked medicine cabinet. The kitchen has everything you need and great coffee beans, a grinder and Ninja coffee maker. We can't wait to stay again!

Not only are you on the river, but you are centrally located downtown. You can float, kayak, paddle board from the property. You can go to the local playground. There’s fifteen fancy coffee shops in walking distance in every direction. I can’t recommend the location enough.

This cottage is in a Beautifull location and comes equipped with all u need with easy check in. Very easy to grab bikes, tubes, paddleboards, or kayaks from the storage shed and have fun. We were so grateful to meet Jackie’s family and to learn how to play pickleball. Jackie connected with us the day before our arrival and made herself available throughout our stay for any issues or questions we had. We enjoyed biking the river trails and walking to nearby cafes. We all really appreciated how quiet the cottage was and the comfy beds. The outdoor setting was so thought out for barbecuing, gathering at the fireplace with s’mores , or lounging with a book or magazine. Even our dogs were exhausted by the end of the trip from running around in the big backyard and dipping in the river. We hope to visit the cottage again in the near future to make more memories. Thank you Jackie for all your hard work and wonderfull hospitality
Love,
The Alexander/Rennke Family

What a perfect, immaculate little cottage in a prime location. We enjoyed the walking trails right outside the door. The backyard was a hit, we had campfires, fished, played croquet, and watched our dogs run free in the secure, fenced yard. The beds were comfortable, all the extra throw blankets were cozy. We will absolutely be back. If you are looking for the whole “Bend” experience, look no further. This is the spot.

It was a perfect place to unite with our kids for some river time and a visit in a beautiful outdoor area. This is the best dog friendly rental we have ever stayed in, and that’s saying a lot as we take our big boys with us every getaway. The location is perfectly situated between the Mill District and downtown which offers a lot of great dining and shopping. I highly recommend this property for your next getaway.

The adorable cottage is perfectly situated on the river. Jackie has outfitted it perfectly inside and out. The rooms are comfy, the kitchen had everything we needed including s’mores fixings and a lovely bottle of wine. The outside is paradise. Multiple comfortable sitting areas where we relaxed in the sun and watched the floaters go by. To top it off we made use of the well-maintained bikes, floats, paddle boards and kayaks. We felt lucky all week to be there!
5.0
Place was awesome! Access right on the river, bridge to jump just a walk away, bikes to travel around the whole city were awesome!
Only downside, was there are two floats that have holes and the river access is a bit muddy in the home side. Didn’t bother us to much

Perfect vacation home right on the river!
We couldn’t have asked for a better place for a family getaway! The house had everything we needed & we couldn’t beat the location. The beds were so comfortable & lots of areas to hang out. Paddle boards & kayaks & s’mores & wine left for us! We had breakfast every morning outside & watched the people float on by. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us! We will definitely be back!

Wonderful Property and Hosts
We stayed at this house on the week of our wedding and it was fantastic! We have a 120 pound Leonberger puppy and the house was so perfect for dogs! It had dog food/water bowls, and a safe fenced area for the dog to run around without getting in the river. It also had river front access for we needed to take a swim. The neighbors were also very understanding when I big guy got out of the river in their lawn :). The house itself is small but the yard more than makes up for it! Its a perfect location to bike anywhere in Bend. The hosts were amazing as well! We will definitely be back!

Great location & backyard, access to bikes & kayaks
We would definitely stay at this property again. The location and backyard was great and we loved jumping onto a kayak and going for a ride on the river. Loved the access that the owner provided to bikes, SUPs and kayaks. The house was a bit smaller than expected but we spent most of our time outside hanging by the river. There was a few maintenance items that needed to be fixed including a broken front door window held on by duck tape, which made me a little nervous.

Sweet Property
Just got back from a fun trip to Bend. This property was very clean and was just as described. Everything we needed was available and all we had to do was show up and have a good time. This was a completely stress-free experience, and the back yard was by far our favorite feature!

Wonderful stay!
Jackie, our host, was amazing! We were greeted with the sight of 2 bottles of wine in the kitchen when we arrived. Lovely touch!
The location and property are amazing! The house is 10 minutes by walking to 3 great breweries. After checking out the breweries, we came back and used the fire pit and hung out by the river. The views can’t be beat! We are looking forward to coming back!

The perfect property!
We have stayed at multiple rental properties the past few years, but I can say this location by far was our favorite. Jackie was incredibly accommodating, the house was in perfect condition, and we truly were right on the river. We will absolutely be back to Jackie’s rental property!

Perfection!
I cannot express how magical this cottage and property is. The house is well equipped, and the host makes sure you have everything you need. Amenities include comfortable furniture and beds, candles, TV in both bedrooms, cozy throws, bikes, paddle boards, wine, and makings for smores. The back yard is on the river, has lots of places to sit, relax and congregate. The location is close to several shopping/dining areas. We will definitely return,

Hospitality at its finest!
A group of us stayed at Jackie's rental for a two day ski trip and her house was more than we expected. You can tell she put a lot of care into the accommodations. There was a lot of attention to details to make sure we felt right at home . The location was great; close to restaurants, parks, Mt Bachelor and right on the river! We will definitely be back for the summertime!
