Great Location to use as home base!

This house was perfect for our stay in Bend. My husband & I were in Bend for a week with our 2 small dogs. The location was perfect - close to downtown Drake Park, restaurants, stores, etc. Bend has tons of dog friendly bars and food options too. The fenced backyard was great! The home had everything we needed to be comfortable and made a great home base. Neighborhood is quiet and safe. Very comfortable and easy.

Belle Millhouse

Our stay couldn't have been better. The Belle Millhouse was exceptionally clean, within walking distance to the entire westside of Bend, very comfortable for the two of us and we were visited by 2 very large bucks that took a short siesta one afternoon. Colleen was communicative and available. We highly recommend!

Cute bungalow in an up and coming vacation rental neighb

The house is cute, a reflection of many older smaller homes in the Millpond area. It’s a shame the old hardwood floors aren’t visible since most of the floor space is covered with big and bulky rugs. Please remove all the rugs, and let the old wood floors show their beauty. The furniture is oversized for the small rooms, an easy fix with appropriate furnishings. The newly restored kitchen and Jack and Jill bathroom are nicely done, cute and cozy. Bathroom, like the bedrooms and living room need some space by removing a few items, or replacing with more size specific pieces. Most furniture has that “ hand me down/ leftovers “ feel and look. If you are a tv/video buff the one and only tv in the living room is small, wasn’t a concern for me, but if you like to watch a bigger screen, you will be disappointed. However it’s Bend which is all about being outdoors.

Our second time here, and once again all was delightful. Easy walk to the excellent St. Francis/McMenamin pub for any meal. Only slightly farther to downtown. Brief drive to several parks along the Deschutes, beautiful.Also splendid river view dinners at the Riverhouse Currents and the Pine Tavern, and (east end of town, not river view but still excellent) Worthy Brewery.All in all, a very fine visit to Bend.
Beautiful Deschutes River. Walk it!

This is a sweet, clean bungalow in a quiet old Bend neighborhood. It has a well equipped kitchen, though we did not use it. The beds and pillows are comfortable. It is clean and cute. My four star rating is really because there were a couple of issues and I felt they could have been addressed by the owner better. First, there was no heat in the dryer and this actually was a big deal because we traveled light knowing there would be a washer and dryer. But the dryer did not work because, unknown to us, the dial is not lined up with the actual functioning of the dryer. The owner was quick to respond and advised on how to make it work. But really, she should get it fixed or at least leave a note on the dryer with instructions. The other issue occurred the day before we were to leave. I was in the shower at noon and my daughter answered the door. It was the owner who said the cleaning crew was coming and we were supposed to be out by 11, check out time. I told my daughter that she had the date wrong. The owner told my daughter otherwise. So I had to jump out of the shower to find my phone and Vrbo app to prove our reservation. By the time I threw on clothes, the owner had actually looked up our reservation and discovered we had one more day. I get mistakes happen. I don’t get why you don’t apologize. I don’t get why you don’t leave instructions or fix the dial on the dryer. So, in short, great little house in quiet historic Bend neighborhood. Owner communication could be improved.

What makes this property unique

This house is located is a quiet neighborhood so near the epicenter of Bend. The house itself is a modest but sturdy craftsman bungalow. My next favorite building is Timberline Lodge. I enjoy pine trees, fir trees, birds,, horses, dogs, quilts, craftsmanship and nature. The house also contains a Hudson's Bay Indian trading blanket, a Pendleton Blanket and a great book on collecting Indian blankets. I hope you enjoy the house and Bend.
