Great location if you like to walk everywhere. Walked to a concert, downtown, restaurants and parks. Well maintained and comfortable. We will come again!

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.

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!

This was our 3rd time staying here, and it has been perfect every time. The check in, the house , and the location are great. The wear is becoming obvious but it is still a perfect choice

We had an absolutely amazing stay here. The kitchen is INCREDIBLY well stocked. Fit all of us very well. Easy walk to Downtown and over the little bridge to great food options. We barely had to drive. Definitely coming back when it's warmer to take advantage of the kayaks. Thank you to the hosts for a really lovely home!

This house was perfect for our two families for a vacation to Bend and skiing at Mt Bachelor. Everyone had plenty of space and the house had everything we needed. Great location--easy walking distance to the Lot food trucks, bagels, and coffee.

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.

nice home near park, unfortunately there was a homeless guy sleeping just over the stone fence most of our stay, made things a bit uncomfortable.
