Amazing!!

We absolutely loved staying at this adorable house. It is right on the river with several outdoor areas to relax overlooking the water. Inside is super cozy and has lots of space as well. It’s location is perfect for walking or biking to old town or downtown. We didn’t have our kids with us but wish we did because it is perfect for a family getaway too.

On the river

My wife, eight year old son, and I had a great three night stay on the water in Bend, OR. Had the opportunity to take our son onto the river in the provided kayak and if we had stayed longer, we would have floated the river as well on tubes as many do. Easy walking distance to morning walks in parks, to coffee, lunch, and dinner. Really enjoyed our time on the river and would return when in Bend, OR.

Not completely as advertised

This property has an amazing location and the backyard was everything you'd hope it would be. The house, however, was a different story. Very old and tired amd has not been maintained. The couch was ripped, worn and uncomfortable. Furnishings were old and stained. The appliances marginally worked. Stovetop, floors and bathrooms were not clean. Bed linens and comforter in master did not feel clean or fresh. It is not Fully Remodeled as it states in the description. The hall bathroom has a weird tub/shower that requires bailing as well as a huge step to get out. The second bedroom bed was extremely marshmallow-y and impossible to use. A sign when you got into the property informed us that the majority of windows did not open (and there's no A/C) and there were various issues with appliances. Sitting by the river was magical, being inside was not.

Thank you, Nancy, for your feedback. I am glad you found my location and backyard on the river magical! I am very sorry you were disappointed with the inside of the house. Situated in the heart of "Old Bend", my charming home was originally built in 1938 and has been extensively remodeled and carefuly maintained throughout the 22 years I have lived here. In fact, I have recently invested significant funds in a brand new hot water heater, furnace and air conditioning with a smart thermostat. To address each of your specific concerns: 1. Guests can view the furnishings in the photos. The one sofa near the bay windows looking out at the river did recently become frayed on one arm from the sun exposure. I am sorry that disappointed you. 2. All appliances work well! My hope was that you appreciated the brand new stainless steel french door refrigerator and microwave in the kitchen and a brand new stainless steel grill on the deck. Also, the dishwasher, toaster oven, crock pot, blender and coffeemakers in the kitchen all work fine. I do have a double oven, but only one currently works. In my experience, one oven has been plenty for my guests who generally prefer to enjoy the fanatastic dining options within short walking distance of my home. However, I am in the process of installing a brand new one. 3. My house is always professionaly cleaned for every guest. This includes the bed linens and towels. Most people enjoy the memory foam toppers I added to the beds, but if you prefer a firmer feel, you are always welcome to remove the memory foam topper. 4. The hall bathroom has a jacuzzi tub! Most guests love the jacuzzi. I also added a showerhead to that bathroom so guests can have that option as well. 5. Thanks to climate change, summers here in Bend are getting warmer. I have lived in this house for 22 years and never needed A/C. However, we just experienced our hottest summer in history, so I felt it imperative to invest in central air conditioning for my guests. I sure hope my guests next summer find it super comfortable. Thank you again, Nancy, for your feedback and have a great day!

Peaceful spot in downtown Bend

The four of us had a very relaxing visit to this house. Watching the river in the back yard with birds, deer, canoes and paddleboards was a great way to unwind and relax. Great restaurants, hikes and electric bike rentals were all nearby, we had a great time.

Location, location, location!

We enjoyed a four night mini vacation at Pam's place with our two teenage kids. It was a perfect stay on the river. We brought our own SUP and explored the river up- and downstream, and the kids enjoyed the provided floatables. Pam's property is situated in the most opportune location and gets amazing evening sun. We hope to be back for a future stay!
