Overview
Cottage, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 4)
The Autumn Cottage has been lovingly designed to offer our guests the full flavor of Bend. This cozy heritage home also provides you with many modern ammenities for your comfort. Consistant upgrades and our personal touches will ensure that your stay in Bend is as special as the area itself.
This Cottage has two bedrooms (one king size, one queen size) a nice bathroom with shower/tub combo, a well appointed kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and comfortable living space with gas fireplace, flatscreen TV/DVD/I-pod dock, desk area, and free Wi-Fi to keep you connected.
You can also enjoy our fully fenced backyard that has a gas BBQ, outdoor bistro table, and private HOT TUB for your 'end-of-a-fun-Bend-day' soaks under the stars.
As an added bonus The Autumn Cottage is just a short 1 block stroll into the historic downtown and the fine dining, galleries, brew pubs, shops, and the Deschutes River. You can walk to it all....or ride one of the 2 vintage bikes we have for your use during the summer season (Memorial Day to Labor Day) The basket holds a growler of local brew or a loaf of fresh baked French bread just perfectly!
The Autumn Cottage has truly been a home-away-from-home for many Bend adventurers over the past 15 years. We invite you to become one of them!

About Lisa McDonald
HI----my name is Lisa and I have been a Bend-ite for over 40 years, and am very proud to have watched her grow from a very small town to a very small city. Always unique. I live on a 20 acre ranch and grow hay, raise chickens, and garden-up wonderful vegetables. I run my cottages like I run my life. Great attention to detail and personal attention to my guests----I believe every Bend vacation at the cottages should be a great one, if I do my job right. If you call you'll actually talk to me! Look forward to it----
Lisa McDonald purchased this cottage in 1998
Why Lisa McDonald chose Bend
This is THE best location in Bend-----park and walk to everything that makes Bend so special. And when your home here, your really home. Settle in and let the Autumn work her magic.
What makes this cottage unique
The benefits of this cottage are just what I look for when I travel-----the freedom of vacationing in the comfort of a home.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Lisa- I was thinking this morning that one month ago I was having a wonderful time in Bend with my sisters, and it occured to me that I had not let you know how much we had enjoyed your lovely cottage. It was everything you and your web site said it would be and MORE! You were right about my sister (who favors cookie cutter motel chains) being hooked once she stayed there....she loved it. Thanks again for such a nice "cottage experience".

Home away from home
This beautiful centrally located cottage has all the comforts of home. Lisa is very welcoming and sees to it that all your needs are met. We are already planning our next trip. I loved it here! Cozy and quiet !!
Wonderfully cared for Cottage
Proximity to walking downtown is second to none.. many excellent restaurants and shops are a 5-10 minute walk. The cottage is situated on a very quiet street which is also a plus. Lovely to have a well-maintained jacuzzi, bikes and grill. The backyard patio is in the summer shade in the afternoon so even on hot days it was pleasant. And the fenced back yard is wonderful for doggie visitors!
Only wish list items would be
1. screens on the bedroom windows so we weren't dependent on the loud A/C unit; we attempted to shut off the A/C and use the cool evening air, but we had a nice assortment of moths and bugs flying into the cottage
2. a quieter A/C unit. Don't get me wrong, it was much appreciated to have it in the first place, as daytime highs were in the 90s. However, it's an old in the wall unit that makes so much noise you have to turn the TV way up to hear it (the A/C is right next to the sofa and TV) and in order to get any cool air into the 2 bedrooms, the doors need to be left open all night , resulting in being kept awake until we got used to the A/C noise.
Making arrangements was easy and Lisa a pleasure to deal with. The following comment is not Lisa's (the property owner) fault...when did VRBO start charging a fee? Not only did we pay a cleaning fee and pet fee (both expected), but we were charged an $82 "Service fee" for our 3 night stay! Seems excessive...
Great Bend base
This house was the perfect base for us to explore the Bend area. It was clean and pleasant with a nice kitchen. The location was ideal, giving us foot access to downtown and the Old Mill. Would definitely use it again.
Perfect location!
Lovely place. So quiet and just a minutes walk to so many awesome things in Bend!
great location, nice cottage
great spot for a ski vacation
Fun, Cozy, and Close to Everything
We arrived in the middle of the biggest snow storm in years and to our great relief this home welcomed us with a warm lit fireplace and room for all our stuff. We immediate fell in love with this treasure of a home. The beds were so comfortable. There were plenty of blankets and pillows. The kitchen was stocked with all the we needed for cooking. The appliances like the coffee maker, toaster, frig, washer and dryer we all new and excellent quality. In the back, after a day of skiiing we really enjoyed the hot tub which was also well care for, clean, and did not smell of chemicals. We have never experienced such a perfect place and can't wait to return! Thank you, Lisa, for being such a pleasure to work with and your quick responses to all my questions :-)
