Overview
House, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2-4)
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.
Enjoy one private bedroom with California King bed, one full bathroom, living room with flat screen TV and DVD player, additional sleeping available on a pull out sofa bed, fully stocked kitchen with everything you need, free high speed wireless internet, washer and dryer, outdoor BBQ and deck. 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!
CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: The beautiful custom home that is being built in the neighborhood is going up! All of the framing is completely done and they are starting to work in the interior details. We're excited to welcome such a lovely new place, but please pardon the dust. Crews will be working midweek getting that house ready for the new owners. Because of increased neighborhood activity, we are offering REDUCED RATES during our Sunday-Thursday nights to counteract any morning noise that may occur Monday-Friday. Look at our discounted rates online, or contact me with other unpublished special construction deals we may be offering!
This VRBO partner has demonstrated and is committed to fast response times, the best rates, and a great guest experience.

Reviews
Wonderful!
4.8/5 -

As described, clean, in the heart of Bend.
The property is great. The home is adorable, clean and comfortable. Can’t beat the location—walking distance to river, parks, breweries and restaraunts. Only downside was construction happening (building home next door) during weekdays. You could not hear it from the bedroom, which was nice, but it was loud in the kitchen. Also, kitchen did not have shades or blinds, so construction workers could see right in. Still, from a value standpoint, can’t beat this place!
Cute home that has some quirks
The Good: 5 stars for location, you cannot find better. The house is cute, great backyard for your dog and a really nice kitchen. The house has 2 off street parking spaces off the back which is rare and a premium in this neighborhood.
The Bad:
Heat: I stayed here in the winter and the heater does not heat the bedroom or tv room well. The wall unit really only heats the front room. I had to get every blanket I could find to stay warm at night. There is a plug-in heater in the bedroom that was loud and did not put out much heat.
Cleaning: To avoid additional fees you must wash and dry all sheets and towels, clean the kitchen and wash all the dishes...I am not sure what is left other than cleaning the bathroom and sweeping the floor. Feels like I did most of the cleaning, for the $75 cleaning fee, I would think you would get more. Make sure you read the fine print, I had to sit around and wash the sheets and towels before leaving because it is not clearly shown you need to do all of this. Typically, in VRBOs I have gotten a single bullet pointed sheet with check out activities or at least it is located in the welcome booklet in the house.
Bed: It seems like the mattress was a used pillow top that the owner stuck in the house and took the new bed for themselves. If you like sleeping in body shaped channel you will like this mattress. Personally, I woke up each morning with a stiff back.
Overall a nice place as long as you are aware of the quirks.
Great bungalow in good location
This is a great bungalow in a nice location, easy to walk to restaurants etc. Guests should be aware there is construction right next door and it starts early on weekdays. Also, I would suggest the owners add a couple of extra blankets for the couch bed, that room is colder than the others.
Bend is wonderful and the Drake Bungalow enhanced my stay.
Quaint, convenient property and service was great!
Can't go wrong here...
This was our first visit to Bend and it did not disappoint. The Drake West Bungalow is in a perfect location. Central to everything. We really enjoyed walking into town and exploring the areas around us.
The place was everything we needed and more. Can't wait to go back.
Great location, close to everything.
Great location, close to everything. Walk to downtown and the great local pubs with great food at very reasonable prices.
