We have probably stayed in this awesome little home 10 times and love it even more each time we visit! It is so practical, nicely organized, and easy to find! The owner is SO FLEXIBLE and friendly! Everything is comfortable and the kitchen has all we need for a great experience. We loved the new red leather chairs in the living room and always appreciate the warm heat in Winter. The neighborhood is our favorite in the Bend area, as we can walk almost anywhere in just a few minutes! My last trek there with girlfriends was so relaxing, as we did art almost the entire weekend...and when we awoke just a tad too late on Sunday, the owner was kind enough to let us have an extra hour to get the house cleaned and emptied!Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

We stayed here for my husband's 40th birthday celebration. It was a perfect home base for us to launch our adventures from, and very accommodating of the dogs. We could walk to downtown & enjoyed the 10 Barrel Brewery just down the street. The hot tub was perfect, and we enjoyed having the big kitchen & living room to hang out in. We'll try to stay here again, its just our style.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, pet owners, families with young children, tourists without a car, girls getaway.

My wife and I recently spent five nights over the Christmas holiday at Bluebird Cottage. The accommodations could not have been more perfect for our needs. First, the cottage was spotless when we arrived and the amenities included everything we could possibly need, right down to a pet bed and food bowls for our pooch. Loads of essentials also - salt, pepper, coffee, sugar, spices and much more. Another great feature is the location. We could easily walk to both the Old Mill or Drake Park and downtown in fifteen minutes. No need to pull the car out every time we wanted to go somewhere. There's a great breakfast cafe/bakery about three blocks away - The Westside Cafe. Super. Also Bagels and a convenience store across the street and a brewpub a block away. For skiers, the Mt. Bachelor Shuttle Bus is just a couple blocks away. The neighborhood is very quiet and the beds are great. All in all, the Bluebird Cottage was an excellent choice for us and I highly recommend it. We plan to stay there next time we need a vacation rental in Bend.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, pet owners, families with young children, tourists without a car, sightseeing.

We just finished a great 3 day stay at Bluebird Cottage. It was exactly as advertised (if not better). Nice, clean, owner thinks of everything. Much better than staying in a hotel - this is a fully outfitted private residence. Very accommodating for our dog as well. And to boot, we were a 5 minute walk from several local restaurants that we love. We definitely intend to stay at Bluebird Cottage again.Recommended for: Age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, pet owners, families with young children, tourists without a car, girls getaway, sightseeing.

Our family stayed at the cottage while visiting family in Bend, and it was just perfect for us. So much thought has been put into the needs of the guests, from instructions and information to kid-safe features like outlet covers, movies for the DVD player, and just about anything we might need. We were incredibly impressed by the attention to detail and the condition of the cottage. The bunk beds were perfect for our kiddos (ages 5.5 and 2.5), and having the lawn/yard was also so helpful. This was a perfect *home base* for us - if we get the chance to visit Bend again we will absolutely hope to stay at the cottage, and we also gave the info to our family there to recommend to others who might visit.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, pet owners, families with young children, tourists without a car, sightseeing.

My family of 3 (husband, my 2.5 year old and I) had a great time at the Bluebird. It was clean (and I'm kind of a germophobe), cozy, and in a great location in Bend. The owner was very accommodating of our arrival time. The only non-kid-friendly aspect was the fact that the hot/cold faucets were reversed in the bathroom sink and shower (labelled on the sink though), which, if you are a kid who can't yet read, could be dangerous. Other than that, it was perfect. Oh, and some jokester swapped sugar into the salt shaker - kind of ruined my eggs that day! No fault of the owner, of course (unless she was the jokester, but I suspect not!).Recommended for: Age 55+, adventure seekers, pet owners, families with young children, tourists without a car, girls getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Whoops! We will have to fix that. Thanks for the info and the great review!

I just recently spent 8 days in Bend and stayed here. A great location, laid back, clean, comfortable & had everything I needed. My sons who live in Bend also stayed a few nights. A great option for out of town family! My dog was also very comfy & it was nice to be able to bring her. I look forward to my next visit to Bend & the Blue Bird Cottage. Located in a friendly neighborhood, close to everything!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, pet owners, families with young children, tourists without a car, girls getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thanks for the wonderful review! It was great meeting you. Take care!

We wanted to meet up with friends from California as a midway point from our home in Washington. The Bluebird Cottage might be our new home-away-from-home. It is ADORABLE, pristinely clean, nice fully fenced yard for the Husky, hot tub was great under the cool, starry sky after a workout in the nearby Lava River Cave. For the same price as ONE hotel room, we had this whole cabin at our disposal. THis would be great for families with toddlers or little ones. It is in a nice quiet neighborhood, and had every amenity we could have wanted. STAY HERE!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, pet owners, families with young children, tourists without a car, girls getaway, sightseeing.

We stayed at the Blue Bird Cottage for for 4 nights this summer and had a great time. The cottage is charming, has everything you need, and the hot tub was a great way to end each day. The owners are a super friendly and accomodating family and offered great suggestions for activities. The street is quiet, the neighbors are very nice, and the kids loved playing in the yard in the evenings. The Deschuttes River and a neighborhood park/beach are just a short walk down the road and downtown and the Old Mill districts are also walkable. Bend is a beatiful town with tons to do and we found the blue bird cottage to be an excellent home base. We miss it already and will definitely go back!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, pet owners, families with young children, sightseeing.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2013
About the owner: Hi there! We are Jeb and Lisa with 2 kiddos and live in Bend on the same block as the Cottage. We have lived here a while and bought another house on our block to have as Bluebird Cottage. It is great for us because we can have our family stay there or rent to out to other folks. We have met the most wonderful people who have stayed at Bluebird Cottage and really enjoy providing accommodations to travelers. We are avid outdoors people and enjoy snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking, paddling, rock climbing and backpacking. We love Central Oregon and hope you come stay at our wonderful Bluebird Cottage!
Why the Owner Chose Bend:
I fell in love with the Old Mill Historical homes when I moved here. They have a wonderful history, great charm, and the perfect size for a vacation home. We also live in a remodeled Old Mill home on the same block and love the street and the neighborhood. It is close to everything to walk or ride bikes or to drive up to Mt. Bachelor in less than a half hour.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
It is very close to Drake Park where all the festivals happen each summer. It is a few blocks from the beautiful Deschutes River and Columbia Park. There are pubs all around to walk to including 10 Barrel and Goodlife and Cascade as well as Deschutes Brewery where they do tours. Downtown is within walking distance and many great restaurants. In the Winter, the Shuttle up to Mt Bachelor is a 5 minute walk and the cottage is a few blocks from the main road (Century) up to the mountain. It is on a nice quiet street, great neighbors, and still close to all the many great places in Bend.
