My family had an excellent stay. The location was close to town for easy walking to dinner and coffee. and the off-street parking was a plus. Although cold outside, the house was warm and well-insulated. Highly recommended!

Owner response:Scott- So glad you liked staying at the Bend Bungalow. You are welcome back anytime! - Lesley

December in Bend

Bend Bungalow was just right for my month-long stay in Bend. The good location offered a lot -- the Christmas Parade outside my front door -- the nearby playground for my grandson -- easy walking access to Drake Park and riverside strolls to downtown -- handy grocery shopping at Newport Market and Devore's Organic Market. The home was clean and cozy and that Temperpedic bed was so comfortable! I look forward to another stay at Bend Bungalow and would recommend this home to friends or relatives.

We're definitely coming back!

We've been staying in rental homes in Bend and near Bend in Sunriver for years. We've never found a house that we liked so much! The location is perfect for us with a park nearby for the kids and a quick walk into downtown for grown ups! The garage is great for storing our bikes and the house was neat and clean. Parking is a little awkward for more than one vehicle you'll have to park on the street but if you want a nice cute little house that is practical, clean with the usual amenities, close to downtown this is it.

Owner response:Eric- So glad you'll be staying with us at the Bend Bungalow again. Next time you'll know about the Tinkertoys in the closet! Glad your girls found them finally! You are welcome back anytime.

This is a lovely bungalow located in a perfect area of town. A short walk west and you can enjoy a game of pool, some fine dining, coffee cafes and the exceptional shopping at Newport market! Walk east and end up in the heart of town or the pristine Drake Park, where there is nights of live music and daytime art, farmer's market and activities for all. Mt Bachelor is just a 20 minute drive and the Cascade lakes just 40 minutes. Fishing and hiking surround you, and the scenery is breathtaking! This is the Perfect Bungalow for your visit to enjoy every aspect of Bend, Oregon!!!

Owner response:and you are the perfect guest! So glad you could have a lovely home to stay in during your re-location to Bend. You are welcome back anytime!

We stayed at the Bend Bungalow for five days in July. We loved the house! My husband and I had our two sons with us: ages 4 and 2. The house was clean and there was plenty of room for our family. We found the owner, Lesley to be extremely gracious and so helpful! The location is excellent!! You can walk downtown, and if you have kids, there is a park right by the bridge. We couldn't have asked for a better location. We will definitely come back!!!

"We're so sad to have to return to Southern Cal, as it's been a really terrific - almost surreal - past month we've spent here in the Bend Bungalow. The place is terrific and thank you so much for your hospitality! We can't say enough positive things about Bend. The most pleasant surprise was how family-oriented the place is - what w/ their outdoor markets, free lunches for kids, public library, etc. Love that library! Thank you again!"

My sister, niece, and myself stayed there this last October, while visiting an ill aunt. It was wonderful. Perfect, and the agents and owner were wonderful and a real pleasure to work with. Defintely would stay there again. And it may be this coming spring. It is a wonderful place for toddlers and young children, open spaces without a lot of clutter.
