We absolutely loved our stay at this cottage! The location was the real highlight—it had a dock right on the river, which made it the perfect spot to slow down and enjoy the surroundings. We spent our days people watching, soaking up the sun, reading a book, and enjoying a cocktail by the water. It was such a peaceful and relaxing getaway, and we’d happily stay here again!

Fabulous location. John is a great host. Cottage is older but cute and clean with some updates on interior. Exterior is a bit more rundown and the deck could use some love, but over-all this was a great place to stay with great river view and convenient walking distance to the downtown Bend area as well as the Old Mill! The only thing we felt was missing was a propane fire pit on the deck for the cool nights! We loved that our trusty road companion canine could enjoy the stay with us! Definitely recommend!

Such a delightful home on the river. the kayaks were so much fun and the deck was so relaxing. John as a host was so available and facilitated an earlier check in when we needed it and he responded quickly when we reached out as well. Would definitely rent from John again and this property is on our favorite list for sure.

Fantastic little place to stay and enjoy the river! Got to enjoy geese, ducks, and an otter from the dock. Our pup loved hanging out outside in the fully fenced backyard, too. Morning kayak rides were the best!We will definitely be back next time we come to Bend!

This little cottage had everything we needed (2 people and a small dog). The cottage is centrally located between drake park downtown in one direction and the deschutes river trail old mill in the other direction. In short, perfectly located with a short walk to explore Bend. We loved exploring Bend by foot by day and hanging out in the backyard in the evenings. We did cook quite a few of our meals ; the kitchen was well stocked. Overall, fantastic stay at this sweet Bend cottage.

About the host

Hosted by John

Host profile image
I am a semi-retired real estate investor who fell in love with Bend and can't find any place I would rather live. There is so much to do here if you like the outdoors, but the community feel is what really makes it special.

Why they chose this property

This was my vacation home in Bend before I decided I had to live here permanently. There are not many homes on the river in Bend, which makes it quite special. You can walk through Drake Park along Mirror Pond to downtown Bend in about ten minutes, and the other direction is the Old Mill District. I love this location and neighborhood so much that when I wanted a bigger home, I moved next door. It is rare to find a place that is so close to everything and because of the river still seems a bit wild.

What makes this property unique

It's really all about the river and the central location.
