About Lisa
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!
Lisa purchased this cottage in 2013
Why Lisa 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.
What makes this cottage unique
It is very close to Drake Park where all the festivals happen each summer. But far enough so its no too loud at night that you can't sleep! It is a few blocks from the beautiful Deschutes River and Columbia Park, Overturf Park, Harmon Park and Drake Park with playgrounds at three of these parks. 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.
Guestbook comments from the owner
We stayed in March at Bluebird Cottage. We had the best time and it was in a great location. It is on a quiet street but really close to a lot of the great places to walk to in Bend. The bed was really comfortable and the whole place was clean and cozy and had everything we needed. The hot tub was a little hot so we called Lisa and she came right away to turn it down a little and then it was fine. Overall 5 stars!!

Great stay!
We could not have had a better experience staying at this house the week before Christmas. Lisa was so easy to work with. We arrived just after a big snowstorm and she sent along some important info to make things easier for us. The house is perfect for a couple or family-clean, well supplied, comfortable and a nice hot tub to jump in on the back deck after a day of skiing or snowshoeing. The location in Bend could not be better-so easy and fast to get to the mountain or Cascade Lakes. Breweries and restaurants within walking distance and downtown less than 5 minutes away by car. We've stayed at a lot of VRBO properties. This is why we keep coming back. Great stay!
Had everything we wanted!
My husband, our two little boys and dog came for a long weekend visit. The house had everything that we needed and was a great location - easy walking distance to everywhere you'd want to go. Parking was easy, both in the driveway and on the street. Really nice to have a washer and dryer and everything worked great. Looking forward to staying here again in the summer where we can enjoy the wonderful backyard and deck.
Excellent rental in a perfect location
My husband and I and our dog stayed at the Bluebird cottage for 3 nights in August and it was fantastic. The house has all the amenities you could ask for, including a large kitchen, a comfy bed, off-street parking and a backyard with a deck! We had come to Bend to do some mountain biking and we found the location to be perfect. We weren't far from all the great biking and we were amazingly close to restaurants, pubs, a great great grocery store and downtown. I highly recommend Bluebird Cottage.
Loved, loved, loved this place!
My dog Honey and I spent a week at Bluebird Cottage and could not have been happier! We literally walked everywhere; Old Bend, the Old Mill District, coffee in the morning, parks and hiking on the river on the South Canyon Reach. The cottage itself has all the comforts of home...I could easily have moved in permanently! Loved the large kitchen/dining, as well as the comfortable front room with cable TV. There is a good internet signal, a cozy bedroom and a nice deck outside near a lawn where my dog could hang out in the fenced yard. The owner was nearby but I never was in need of a single thing; it was that perfect! I highly recommend this place and hope to be able to stay here again when traveling to Bend.
This is THE best place!
Stayed here for 4 nights in Feb 2016 to go skiing and check out Bend. Accomodations were perfect for us and our dog. The location was amazingly convenient to downtown, walk to restaurants and coffee, walk to the river and easy drive to Mt. Bachelor since you are on the right side of town.
We would totally stay here again - Lisa made it so easy.
Enjoyable Stay
My husband and I stayed at the Bluebird Cottage and found it to be very clean, comfortable, well-equipped and convenient. We were able to walk to restaurants and it was great to have the use of the two bikes in order to explore the area. The owner was very personable and had a huge notebook of things to do, places to eat and places to go. We would recommend the Bluebird Cottage to our friends and we will stay there again when we visit Bend.
