It was so easy to walk to downtown Bend! And if you were quiet at night you could hear the river. We loved the outdoor patio and spent hours there eating and playing games. A cozy house and darling house.
We had a great holiday weekend at the Kingfisher Bungalow. It’s located on a quiet street just a short walk from the river and downtown (and the July 4th pet parade - what a treat!). The house & apartment are charming, decorated with a Hawaiian motif and provide adequate space to comfortably gather inside and outside. The hot tub out back is particularly nice. Communication with the mgmt company was excellent and we made use of the provided bikes. We would be happy to stay here again!
Great location. Loved the hot tub. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, dishes, pots and pans. Because we were there over Christmas, wished there was some Christmas decor besides a wreath on the door.
We stayed in Bend over the President's Day Weekend at the Kingfisher Bungalow and had a wonderful time. Location is unbeatable to downtown, and the vibes were amazing (loved the Hawaiian decor!).
Would definitely stay again in the future.
We loved our stay! The location is incredible. Easy walk to downtown restaurants. But the best part is the location to the river - 1.5 blocks away is an easy access to the river, swim holes, and the river path. The house has great separation of space. Will come back for sure!
Great little house close to downtown. Bed was big and comfortable. Everthing was easy to find and instructions simple. Queit lttle neighborhood as well. Highly recommend!!!!
We had a wonderful trip to Bend and this property was amazing! Plenty of room to relax and enjoy time together! The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was easy to work in and the neighbors were friendly.
Close to downtown, the river and many parks. Lovely area for walks in the morning and very peaceful location. A mini fridge in the studio would have been nice for waters, etc, but we have no complaints about the property and certainly recommend it!
Thank you!
Overall we found this location to be great for visiting sights near downtown Bend. Mirror Pond and Old Mill
The home is maintained well and very comfortable
The floorplan/layout is a little quirky but to be expected with an older home
We did not take advantage of the Hot Tub, but it was warm and clean upon arrival.
Would consider staying here again if I am in the area.
This bungalow was very nice. Everyone thought it was way bigger than it looked in pics online. We had the max 8 people stay and everyone had their own space. Plus places to gather.
This property was perfect for a long weekend celebrating my best friend’s engagement. The house is walking distance to parks, bars, and restaurants. We had so much fun using the hot tub and outdoor space. Would highly recommend!
Great location in Bend! Very easy to walk to the river and into downtown. Neighborhood is quiet and attractive. Charming old house, very well kept and clean, and more spacious by far than it looks from the front. One of our teens especially liked the separate "pool house" bedroom and claimed it for his own. :) Really enjoyed hot tubbing under the stars on the cold nights!
Great place for 2 couples—main house has nice living room, kitchen and comfy king bed. Another room has twin beds which we didn’t use. Our son and his girlfriend stayed in the studio with their small dog. That also has a comfy king bed. There is a lovely outdoor space with a patio table and a hot tub with beautiful surroundings by the studio. Decor is Hawaiian which is a little different but charming. The only thing we didn’t care for was the picnic table as a dining table. Overall a great place!
We stayed here over Thanksgiving when Bend got their first snowstorm of the year. The house looked as beautiful in the snow as it does in the summer picture listed-maybe prettier. The house was bigger than expected and very comfortable. We had a great time and hope to be able to stay here again. Perfect for extended family!
Having the river trail out the door and a short walk to downtown were great. Everything within worked as advertised - wonderful reserve and spices/items for cooking, easy to fit the 5 of us on comfortable beds, enjoyable spaces for dining and conversation, welcomed touches in nearly every room. Personally, heated floors in the bathroom when it was 1 degree and snowing outside was opulent. I'd stay again - for sure.
