About this property
Centrally located to everything you want to do in Bend!
This 1950’s mid-century home has been lovingly updated. A mid-century modern house with an urban feel. Everything about this home is beautiful, from its refinished hardwood floors to the new kitchen and bath, it is charming and maintains the feel of its era. Tastefully decorated with prints from local artists, you will begin experiencing Bend the moment you walk in.
Walk one block to Juniper Park, with its the unique playground and Family Recreation Swim area and waterslide, fitness center and tennis courts. In the late afternoon, hike Pilot Butte and enjoy panoramic views of Bend, the Cascade Mountains and the sunset. Or, if you are just looking to relax, you can sit out on the back deck with a glass of wine and a good book.
Mid-town delivers just what the name implies – you are within a mile or two of most everything you would want to do, see, or experience in Bend. Minutes to downtown, Old Mill, Box Factory, Drake Park, Hayden Homes Amphitheater. Add to that the short distance to Mount Bachelor, hiking and biking trails and the Deschutes, you will find yourself in the perfect location no matter the season.
The home is light and bright and has a spacious feel. There is plenty of storage for your things so that you can unpack and feel at home. In the kitchen, you will find all that you need, beautiful new appliances, quartz counter tops, open shelving, and pantry. Bedrooms are quaint and comfortable with 680 thread count cotton sheets for a good night sleep.
The outdoor space is lovely with a deck, table, chairs, umbrella, a gas grill, and string lights. We have just completed the new gas fire pit area. The yard is ample with plenty of room to play a game of Cornhole (provided).
This is the perfect retreat from which to explore Bend.

The home was clean and just as advertised. We have stayed there 3 times in the last 2 years for business trips. The hosts are very responsive and make checking in and out a breeze.
SO CLEAN AND COZY! BEAUTIFUL HOMEWe were so pleased with this property. The owners were super easy to work with and the check in and check out processes were seamless. The house was spotless and the beds were so comfortable. The kitchen had all the needed essentials, and we had access to a nice gas grill to barbeque on. We loved our stay and can't wait to come back. Bend is a beautiful City! Thank you Ric and Laurie for letting us stay in your beautiful home. Warm regards,Rhonda

Thank you for this glowing 5 star review! We would love to have you back next time you visit!
The house was great for my husband and I,it's close to town town, quite neighborhood,nice back yard with a fire pit and BBQ,the only thing that was missing for us was a TV in the bedroom.
The kitchen was fully equipped with pots and pans. A nice selection of teas between chamomile or earl grey and a kettle for hot water. A beautiful location with pilot butte and Old Mill District close by.

Thank you so much for the 10/10 review! We’re so glad the home had everything you needed and that you enjoyed our location. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
This property had everything we needed for our extended work visit/vacation. The amenities were great and all the little details like having a cooler available to take picnic lunches on our hikes was so helpful.
Just needed a place to sleep as we were attending our aunt and uncle's 67th wedding anniversary.
Check in was easy, internet good, beds were very comfortable. We just need a place to sleep and have coffee in morning and a comfortable place to return to and it was perfect for this.
We had a fantastic experience at this property. The home was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described in the listing. Check-in was smooth and communication with the host was quick and easy. The location was convenient for exploring the area and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We would happily stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a great getaway.
We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more! The listing is an excellent representation of the home and instructions provided before and during our stay were simple and easy. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen is nicely equipped for making meals, and the backyard is a great place to sip on morning coffee in the sun or enjoy the fire pit in the evening. The neighborhood was quiet and the location allows an easy walk to downtown Bend. We would happily stay here on our next visit!

Thank you, Lisa, for the great review! So glad you had a good stay. We would love to host you again, next time you visit Bend.
This house was great. Since it was winter we didn't use the backyard, but I could see it being amazing in the summer. We would definitely stay here again.
