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!

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!

Cute bungalow
The bedroom was super hot the small air conditioner did not cool the whole house. The pillows were super uncomfortable you should invest in some firm pillows. The knifes in the kitchen were not sharp enough to cut a tomato. There was no Kleenex and barely enough toilet paper had to go to the store. Someone should clean the windows especially the kitchen and you need a screen on the bedroom window so you could open it. All else was fine and is a good location. Just thought you could improve the experience with the above issues. Also could of provided additional wine glasses
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.
