Rustic Cottage with Views of the Deschutes River!

Summary:

Your private riverside cottage awaits! This condo can sleep up to two people in a full size bed, includes a kitchenette and a large bathroom. With the Deschutes directly out the window, you can't get any closer without getting wet!



This condo is owned and designed by Bendistillery and Crater Lake Spirits founder, showcasing that local juniper does not only make great gin, it also makes great furniture!



Maximum of 2 pets allowed for an additional fee.



The Space:

Your very own private cottage overlooking the river awaits you when you book condo 257 Juniper Twist. Access the condo through your private entrance and immediately be greeted by the panoramic view of the majestic rapids of the Deschutes River!



One of the most rustic condos in our rental pool, you will truly be getting the "Bend experience" here! The condo is furnished with custom built wood furnishings, including everything from the bed frame to the dining room table! 



This adorable cottage features a comfy queen sized bed for a luxurious night's rest. The bed sits up a little higher because of the convenient storage drawers underneath, so feel free to overpack and bring along your feather boas and collection of onesies if that's your thing because we have the storage space to accommodate! Crack the windows as you drift off to sleep listening to the calming river music. It truly is nature's sound machine!



There is a kitchenette with plenty of dishware as well as a hot pad, microwave, stainless steel fridge/freezer combo and a clothing washer! While you do a load of laundry, cook up some of your favorite meals and enjoy them in front of the best view in town, right out your window! It should also be noted that the large window in this condo has a privacy tint so even though you can see everything that's going on outside, rest assured that the outside cannot see everything that's going on inside!



If you're still not impressed, get a load of the bathroom! It is basically one giant shower room so feel free to splash around all you like! There is a sheek frosted glass door, a lighted magnifying mirror built into the regular mirror and plenty of built-in storage space for you to bring along all of your toiletries and beauty essentials! 



This particular cottage has one of the best views on property. The spillway is directly out your window and hearing the rushing river is both peaceful and invigorating at the same time. You will be only a short walk from downtown by way of clearly marked walking paths right outside. Pack your water wings because an indoor pool is on site for you to use at your leisure. With a secure keyless entry system, your arrival will be seamless and stress-free as you independently check yourself into your new oasis for the next few days. This cottage is perfect to unwind, unplug, and get back in touch with nature. Don't wait, book Juniper Twist today!

Bend hideaway

It was so nice to enjoy the Deschutes river from our room. The cottage was well supplied, clean, and offered everything we needed. The bed was comfortable. We walked into the downtown area daily, and also along the River trail heading out away from town.
View from our room.

Excellent location. Very clean and cute. The lighting in the kitchen area is a little too dark for older eyes and the sinks are super small. Other than that, it was a great place to stay and I would rent it again. Love being that close to the river and the trail.

Thank you for the kind feedback! We’re glad you found the condo clean, cozy, and loved the location right by the river and trail. It’s truly such a special spot. We appreciate the note about the kitchen lighting and smaller sinks; those details are helpful for us to know and consider as we keep improving. We’re so happy you’d stay with us again and look forward to welcoming you back!

Cozy and Quaint

We loved the convenient location respective the amphitheater. We were able to walk to the concert and stop at one of favorite breweries along the way. The property was very quiet, peaceful, clean, and cozy. The bed is very comfy and the river view was lovely to wake up to. I would highly recommend this property !

Good little spot but dont know if id stay here again

Location seemed good, close to downtown. We liked the trail it was on and having the river right there was pretty cool! Although we did like the room i dont think we would stay here again. The lighting in the room is very dim, even with all the lights turned on. The floor of the room was very dirty. I walked barefoot for like 5 minutes and my feet were black. There was dust on some fixtures. The bed is a little higher than normal, just so people know, and the bed was uncomfortable.

If you are looking to adventure around Bend, there is truly no better place to stay. We are located right next door to the breathtaking Pioneer Park, literal steps from the Deschutes river, and just a 5-10 minute drive to the Old Mill district. The unit itself is completely custom. With designs this particular we cannot expect everyone to like them so we completely understand. As for the floors, I want you to know that we have blocked this unit for 24 hours starting tomorrow in order to perform a deep clean! Thank you so much for the heads up and even if we wont be seeing you back in this specific unit we hope to see you in another that will better suit your needs. Until next time!

Nice stay

The place is as described. Great location. Bed was super comfortable. The cable is spotty and there isn’t a guide to tell you what the channels are. The cleaning could have been better. It wasn’t vaccuumed or the rugs shaken out. The vacuum smells like it might catch fire. The toilet wasn’t cleaned. If the above items would have been taken care of, it would have been a perfect stay.

Theresa, thank you for this feedback! We too love the location here! We are very sorry that your unit was not up to cleanliness standards. We will be sure to let housekeeping know that they need to do a more thorough job. Also, please let us know next time, as we are more than happy to come correct anything that was missed or any issues that may have come up! Thank you so much for staying with us!

I didn’t receive check in instructions and had to call 20 mins after my arrival time to be let in. Property was neat and clean but next time I’ll just book a motel room.
