WOW-Great location, river access, trails, Old Mill, downtown and the mountain.
Awesome location. Nice, clean and close to everything that is great in Bend - the river, Mt. Bachelor, the Old Mill District with shopping, restaurants and movie theaters. Walk along the river all the way to Hayden Homes Ampitheatre for concerts. Cycle, kayak, paddle board, hike, and walk right out the door to some of the best spots in town. You can be in the river in less than 3 minutes. Walk to several breweries from the house. You’ll love the location, amenities, the outdoor space, and the comfy bed.
The 7-mile paved river trail is across the street. Everything is close by. The white-water park is only a mile walk away. It's fun to watch the surfers and white-water kayakers on the waves. It's also fun to watch the hundreds of individuals float thru the rapids in the summer on float tubes. If you want to float the river, it will take you only 5 minutes to be in the river from the house.

Live local - but love to get into Bend to enjoy the trails, river, and food. Great location, great host and as usual, great weather. This location has terrific access to trails and to shopping/downtown. Host was terrific and would definitely consider staying here again.
This was an awesome location to stay while exploring the area. Linda provided perfect recommendations for things to do and places to eat. The property was just right for 2 adults, and had everything available that we could have needed for a long weekend stay.

Great location, awesome accommodations
Everything worked very well for us during this stay. Bend is a great place and having a space like this really added to our positive weekend get-a-way!
The property was everything we had hoped for and more! The location was fantastic and within walking distance of shopping, restaurants and recreation; although we enjoyed the property so much we ended up taking advantage of the outdoor grill 3 of our 4 nights. Linda, our host, is a gem! We would definitely stay again.
Perfect location. Quick walk to breweries, deschutes float & water park, and the amphitheater.
Need a landing zone to crash after enjoying the area this is the place to be.

This was our first ever rental and our experience with Linda was great, she is very kind and knowledgeable of the area.
The home you will enjoy is suoer comfortable. We slept great on the comfy bed and enjoyed all the amenities that the home has to offer, inside and outside the home.
We walked to the Old Mill District along the deschutes River for shopping and some nice dinning options.
Most of all this home away from home is everything you need for an awesome vacation in Bend.
We truly loved our stay and will be back for sure.

I can 't begin to tell everyone about this cute place to enjoy some time in Bend! The host, Linda, is absolutely fabulous. Not only is she gracious, but she will also go out of her way to make sure your trip and accommodations are the best ever. We went to view a concert but were able to see 3 concerts! We used Lind's kayak and floated down the river and saw the Doobie Brothers. The following nights we took a short walk and listened to another. Linda provided great suggestions for Breweries and other fun things to do during the week. We can't wait to start planning another trip up and enjoy this location another time!
We had a wonderful 5-night stay. Linda was a very communicative host and gave us some extra special treatment for our celebratory trip. The unit is centrally located to Mt. Bachelor and walking distance to much of the main parts of Bend. The unit was well stocked to make our stay comfortable. The only downside was the thin walls/floors and the ability to hear voices and movement from the residents who live above. I would still consider staying here again!
Linda was a terrific host and frequently checked in with me to see if I needed anything. The place is in a great location with easy access to the beautiful Deschutes River Trail, and has good amenities that make it a good pick for any length of stay. I will definitely consider staying here again!
Awesome VRBO. Awesome host. Hope to be back again !!
This host is awesome. Property was perfect, exactly what we needed!! Thank you for everything.

Beautiful property! Great location!
We loved our stay in this apartment. It is very conveniently located and the owner was very helpful and hospitable. The kitchen was well equipped for making meals and the unit was clean. It is on a sort of busy road, but you simply cross that road and you are at the river, so it worked for us. Easy walk to old mill and downtown. I would definitely stay here again!

Great location and a great place to stay for multiple days.
We loved our stay and felt central to all activities we wanted to do in Bend. We we walked to breweries and many restaurants around the area. We weren't a far drive from any of the hikes that we went on. Great place.

About the host
Hosted by Linda Wheeler
I love living in Bend. I ride road, mountain and tandem bikes. In the winter, I downhill , x-country ski and snowshoe. The live music in town is great. I enjoy meeting my guests and share my favorite spots.
Why they chose this property
I built this property so I could share it with others. It has great access to the river, shopping and the forest. The location is awesome. Guests always comment on how clean and nice my place in. Awesome outdoor lawn with picnic table, fire pit and swing.
What makes this property unique
Across the street from the beautiful Farewell Bend park. It's really fun to people watch as joggers, strollers, dogs, kids and adults enjoy the area. In the summer we frequently can hear the live music from the house. The setting is one of the best in Bend.
