Wonderful Stay
Great location- great home, no complaints besides the grill not being available to bbq but we got by without it just fine! Highly recommend staying here!
The property was comfortable with all the amenities, and super close to downtown Bend. The property manager was responsive and made check in/review an easy process. I would stay here again in a minute!
This property was absolutely perfect for our stay in Bend. The home itself was very comfortable and well equipped. It is within walking distance to downtown and all the Bend has to offer. Highly recommend and will be back!
Perfect place for 2 to 4 people. large kitchen and good size living room. Love the gas fireplace on a cold snowy day. Very comfortable and close to downtown. Wonderful walking area with parks all around
Very convenient to walk to town for restaurants (10-15 minutes) in a quiet neighborhood. Nice hot tub and smallish deck to drink coffee in the morning. Comfortable beds. A couple of things would improve enjoyability... coffee filters, facial tissue and shower amenities would be nice. Barbecue a little difficult to light but worked fine once we figured it out. Thanks for sharing this great little house.

Clean, warm, cozy home. Great accommodations
The home was well-equipped- from hot tub supplies to kitchen - with a beautiful big shower, comfortable beds, and close driving distance to restaurants and skiing. Would definitely stay again. Only negative is squeaky floors, but with old hardwood, I wouldn’t expect different.

Thanks so much for letting us know you enjoyed your stay at the River Run. She is indeed a great old dame ---beautiful craftsman home, with such personality. Her wonderful location so close to both the river and the historic downtown really make her a gem. Come back in the warmer weather and enjoy her fun bikes to explore with...almost as much fun as skiing!
Happy New Year to you and yours!
