The Drake West Bungalow is located just one block back from iconic Drake Park along the Deschutes River, and one block away from popular Galveston Avenue with eclectic shops and restaurants. Leave your car at the house and enjoy walking to some of Bend's most popular places!
The Drake West Bungalow was built in 1919 as one of the original homes for the lumber mill workers that populated the area during that time. It has been totally restored and remodeled with 'green' efficiency building in mind, but the house still perfectly reflects the classic charm of its era. This one bedroom bungalow is perfect for those wishing to be within a beautiful stroll to the park, river, downtown Bend, and the popular west side where you can enjoy everything from quaint bakeries to superb restaurants, unique galleries to seasonal festivals, bike and recreation equipment rental shops, and not to mention some of the greatest microbreweries in the country-- all right outside the front door. The Drake West Bungalow is the perfect place to have all of Bend right at your fingertips.

We include two cruiser bikes at the house for you to use while our guests. There is also a hot tub in the private yard for a relaxing end to a busy Central Oregon day.
The Drake West Bungalow is the perfect home for your Bend getaway. It is centrally located to everything you want to access in Bend, but is private with its fully fenced backyard area and private off street parking. Come be our guests to truly experience this wonderful area!

Wonderful Bungalow, Centrally Located
We had a lovely time at the Bungalow. It's extremely charming and has all the extras and creature comforts like a washer/ dryer and the backyard porch.
Check in process was extremely easy, and we were able to walk to great coffee shops and even downtown alongside the river.
Plus, parking was a breeze. We never had an issue finding a space over the weekend.
I'd absolutely recommend staying here at the Drake Bungalow!
Wonderful
Amazing house in an amazing location. We had a wonderful stay!
Loved it!
Great location, clean and well stocked. Best for 1-2 people.
Cute place!
Great location; quiet, yet walking distance to most everything you might need. The Bungalow was well appointed (only minor complaint was that there was only 1 decent wine glass, but since we're lovebirds we shared!) and very thoughtfully re-finished. Hot tub was a key decision maker for choosing this home, and it did not disappoint!
Would be nice to have window coverings in the two side-yard facing windows, but another minor point. Overall, we loved it!
Adorable, accommodating and perfect location
My partner and I visit Bend every year to ski at Bachelor. This year we stayed at the Drake for a week in March, I think this will be the yearly VRBO!
It's a fantastic location. Just a short drive to the mountain for skiing, walking distance to coffee, bars, food trucks, butcher, etc. The home and yard were very clean. The bedroom was very comfortable and well appointed. There is great local wall art that makes the space feel welcoming but not crowded. The kitchen is spacious with newer appliances and every dish and utensil we needed to cook well for a week. The neighborhood can get a little busy, it was nice to have two off-street parking spaces off the alley.
We were able to stay during the weeks of reduced rates for 'winter discounts', so the price was just right.
This place is great. Seriously. But, now for some honest feedback. There is only one heater/A/C in the living room, it works well, but the bedroom can get quite cold, even with the space heater provided. The pull out sofa was not the most comfortable, but that is to be expected. This is the first VRBO or Airbnb when I have been asked to wash a load of laundry before hitting the road on check out day. It was quite easy to do the washer is large and has a quick wash setting. Nothing would prevent us from staying here again, just a few items that surprised us.
The property management team was great. We had a few questions about the paperwork and check-in prior to our arrival, they return our calls quickly and were very pleasant.
We look forward to staying here again.
Nothing but the DRAKE , for goodness sake!
The thing that amazes me most was how simple this was to have such a fantastic Bend vacation! The booking process with Erin at Homespun Vacations was so easy and professional and quick. When we arrived in Bend there was special designated off-street parking spot and then A "no key hassle" -----we punched in our secret code and were in....then took the bungalow tour before even unloading the car. One room just drew us into the next---so cute, so complete, so comfortable and so clean. As our stay progressed we discovered all the happy local places within a 2 block walk, great bike riding on the cruisers, dining that was beyond the pale, and 10 Barrel Brew Co. just 2 blocks away. We floated the river from the Old Mill to Drake Park, had a great hike around Green lake, slept in and dined out. We go home very rested, very grateful, and very happy campers! Many thanks!!! We will be back!
