Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re glad you loved the location and enjoyed the views, deck, and the pool and hot tub. It’s hard to beat having all of that right outside your door. We’d love to host you again anytime!
We had a lovely weekend in Bend, excellent location.

Could not be any happier with the location 10/10, walk to downtown along the river was amazing!I will say we were disappointed with the lack of cleanliness - dirty blankets, dirty bathroom sink (toothpaste splatter), dirty bathtub (hairs) and general carpet (our socks were gross from walking around). With a few dollars, simple improvements would also make the stay more comfortable. Lights outside bedroom shine through the curtains, carpet staples coming up near the entrance, one bowl, old fridge. We brought our toddler and there was no plug for the tub. We didn’t use the kitchen appliances other than the fridge, so unsure if there were adequate supplies to make meals. We also never received our email containing check-in instructions. Overall disappointed in the condo, but happy with Bend. Will try another place next time.
Super convenient location in a clean and charming location on the Deschutes. Super easy check in and check out process and great access to town and the mountain

Brian, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and our location! We are just steps away from the Deschutes Riverside which gives us some beautiful views! We are also only a 10-15 minute walk from Downtown Bend! We would love to host you again for your next trip to Central Oregon!
Mauricio, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay! Our property is located right on the Deschutes Riverside, which gives us one of the most beautiful views in Bend, Oregon! We would love to welcome you back anytime!
My dog and I enjoyed being able to walk the Deschutes River Trail, which was just steps away! We also appreciated the big porch overlooking the river, which was very peaceful. We had everything we needed for our stay and had a great time!

Paul, we are pleased to know that you enjoyed your stay at our place. The view really is the star of our rentals, especially from the second floor. You get a great overlooking view! Our housekeeping staff uses a strict cleaning checklist and will be glad to know their work is noticed! Having the walking path right along our property is awesome, the path is well taken care of and is a lovely stroll from here into town! Ending up in Drake Park is such a treat with Mirror Pond right there!
Steidl Hands was great. Clean, well stocked, convenient for dog, great location right on river-walk. Pool/hot tub were very nice after day of skiing. We'll be back, as long as our son lives in Bend. 👍

Reviews like this just make our day! So happy you were able to bring your pup and have a wonderful time while staying here at Bend Riverside Rentals. Hopefully your son lives in Bend for a long, long time so we can continue hosting you wonderful guests! :)
The property had all of the amenities as described! The place is slightly dated and smelled a bit musty. However the view was nice and the proximity to all things in this part of Bend was great!

Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us, Susan! Our property has great amenities and you truly cannot beat our location here. Being a 10 minute walk from downtown is just awesome. Until next time!
Spent a week in Bend visiting our son. Good location within walking distance of downtown along the Deschutes. Kitchen was adequate to make breakfast and dinner. Small coffee pot. Beds were a little soft.

Thank you for your review, Eric! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the location - we agree, the proximity to downtown and the rest of the west side makes it super convenient. We hope to see you again in the future!
It was a good stay with lots of room. Nice if you’re in town for a few nights. Close to lots and quick drive to Mt Bach. Wish they would update the fridge so it wasn’t so loud, and also a map of the property to locate the laundry easier/or a big sign for people in that first unit.

Hi Alyssa,
Thank you for your review! We agree; the location and proximity to all the fun things Bend has to offer can't be beat! I'm sorry to hear the refrigerator was a bit on the loud side - I'll pass this on and see what can be done to alleviate that next time. We are currently working on signage around the property to make navigating easier. We hope to see you again sometime in the future!
We would definitely stay here again. We loved how close the condo was to downtown and the view of the river from the balcony was so nice! The only negative we had was the carpet was really dirty. It could probably use a replacement. The bed was comfortable though and it was nice to have the murphy bed as well. It was awesome to have two full bathrooms and the air conditioning worked perfectly! This condo has a lot of space and even has a large vanity area with a chair. Thank you for making this a memorable stay for us!

Douglas, we appreciate the review! We would love to hear what you think needs attention as this how we are able to make our unit a better place with each honest review! We pride ourselves on taking feedback and doing whatever we can to fix any issues our guests may have. However, we are happy to hear that you seemed to enjoy your stay and were entertained by the family of Marots down below! They sure are cute!
Location, location... walk out front fdoor to Pioneer Park, trails along Deschutes River and downtown Bend. Or, choose to cozy up next to fire and watch life flow by peacefully amongst river, Marmots and wildlife. Location superior to property amenties but everything you need for wonderful time in Bend!

We love Bend and the condo was fine but trip cut short due to smoke. Will get insurance next time.
Also, there were no knives in the condo. Got them eventually from the front desk.

We appreciate you taking the time to review our unit, Dan! We ALWAYS recommend that our guests purchase trip insurance year round as the weather is unpredictable and for the price, it is defiantly worth the extra couple bucks. We hope to have you back again next year, with clear skies of course!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Pros: Location was convenient! Roomy. Sound of river was great! Cons: For the price, I expected better honestly. Floors were dirty so we vacuumed before we unpacked. Hair and dirt on bath floors, white shower curtain orange on bottom and stinky, really needing a wash and bleaching! Tacks on metals floor strips sticking up and cut foot so then we kept shoes on. Dining chair had broken back. Couch was old and no support, so cushions sunk in. I had to keep the door open to hear the river to drown out the clinching of the refrigerator. It was so loud and made it hard to sleep.

Thank you, Kelly. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the location. I have taken your feedback into account and personally shared it with our property care manager, and housekeeping lead, to ensure corrections are made immediately regarding these issues. Absolutely no one should have to deal with that while on vacation, and we are especially sorry to hear about the state of the floor strips and your injury! Rest assured we do not take these things lightly and will be ensuring this is not an issue going forward! We want our guests to feel safe, relaxed, and happy while staying here; and I offer our sincerest apologies to you for the areas we fell short in! We are wishing you the best, and should you ever find yourself in Bend again, we would love the chance to redeem ourselves. Thank you!
The ambiance by the spillway allowed me to drink my coffee and tea with the sound of flowing water. The people around us for the most part were thoughtful, minus the occasional marijuana odor. The living space itself appeared clean. It’s dated & smells older. Opening the windows allowed for that smell to be less offensive. The amount of dander affected the entire family. We covered the couch with towels which helped, but still needed to take allergy meds, plus remove the comforters. When we left the room our allergy symptoms were relieved. As soon as we got back into the room we started sneezing miserably and heading to our saline spray and tissues. If we go back, we will take our allergen spray.

The overall impression of the condo is that it is quite dated. The cleanliness of the unit left something to be desired because of large stains on carpet, dog fur on couch and coffee table, and a lot of pollen on the balcony table. The unit is quiet, located about 100' from the Deschutes River, and has a well-appointed kitchen. The kitchen cabinets are very cheap - looks like particle board that someone painted over. The bottom of the refrigerator is missing, all adding to a shabby appearance. The beds were comfortable. The toilets were really low to the ground and of the old round type (i.e. not elongated, more evidence of how dated the unit is). Our stay was still good because of the condo's proximation to the Deschutes River, all the shops along Wall St., and a nice drive into Sisters.
