Thank you for sharing your beautiful home on River Bend Drive. Staying right on the river was such a gift. The peaceful views, watching the ducks and geese glide by, and the frequent visits from deer made every day feel special.We especially loved the outdoor white Christmas tree decorations. They added such a magical touch to the holiday season. This truly felt like a home away from home during Christmas.The kitchen was fully equipped. There were laundry supplies, fresh clean linen, it was perfect!The location was perfect as our daughter lives just eight minutes away, making our stay even more meaningful. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your lovely home. We made wonderful memories here and are so grateful.

Beautiful home, with everything we needed for our vacation and more. Saw tons of birds and even two deer who walked across the property. Weather was great even a little sprinkle in the morning on the Fourth.

Wonderful!

We loved our stay at the Riverside home! The setup was just right for us and the location is terrific - right on the Deschutes. The home is super comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped. The setting is so lovely that we ended up having many meals in rather than go to downtown Bend. Communications with Debbie were always very prompt and thorough - thank you! We look forward to coming back!

So perfectly close to the river!

We loved the one story home so close to the river. It has everything you need! The beds were very comfortable.Small critique on the bunk room, I ended up using the top bunk to lay out my clothes so that worked out.The happy dog trail provided much entertainment across the river. We spotted Otter, Mallards, Geese, Deer, Eagle, Fish jumping.We loved the place! Thank you so much!

Our Family had a great time at this hidden gem. The house is very livable and comfortable. Our 2 boys loved catching crawdads and fishing in the river. The wildlife was abundant. We look forward to our next visit.

Incredible Property!

The pictures do not do the Riverbend Retreat justice! It is so secluded and private. Having the river in the backyard was beautiful and relaxing. Our family sat out every night playing cards, having dinner, and enjoyed every second. We hope to return!

Bend Oregon Trip

We had an absolutely fabulous weekend at this home! It is probably the cleanest property we have stayed at so far and the location is wonderful with literally a river at the front yard! My husband is the "cook" and he loved the kitchen. This kitchen is 100% stocked with simply everything you can imagine. The bed was super comfy too and home layout is perfect. 100% we will be back for a much longer stay!

Perfectly lovely

Perfectly lovely place to stay on the Deschuttes River. Peaceful, comfortable, close enough to town, nicely stocked kitchen and baths, comfortable beds. All good. My favorite thing was morning coffee outside and watching the dogs (and their people) parade on the trail across the river every day. Others in our group loved plunging in the river daily (Brrr).

Stunning and peaceful

This didn't feel like a house to stay while on vacation but the actual vacation itself. Having the view and sounds of the river in the backyard was priceless. The house is def a home with comfortable couches, beds, and sweet family photos throughout. The people and dog watching from the area across the river was entertaining. Def reccomended doing that hike, it's a nice trail and fun to see the house from the other side. Can't reccomended this home and the lovely owners enough.

Beautiful home! Many rules

Beautiful home!!! We spent hours every day in the backyard watching the river and the dogs on the trail across the way. Everything inside was clean and nice. I found the rules overbearing. A lot of things that felt more for a family friend asking for favors instead of a home I was paying money for. Things like watering the plants, replacing and buying coffee for future guests, etc.
