About this property

A private zen-like home, panoramic views, super chill!Total relaxation for you.

Parking on the first floor with large sauna and shower. 2nd floor is the main living and entertaining floor with kitchen, couches, fireplace, dining area and extensive windows with large viewing deck and backyard stream with three small waterfalls. Third floor are the three bedrooms with the master having private deck with a view and guest bedrooms facing the backyard.
Outstanding, expansive, panoramic views for over 100 miles. Total comfort on main floor with large central room, fireplace, couches and 75 inch Samsung tv. Total chill place with sauna and backyard stream. Swimming in the Deschutes river is a short 2 minute walk down to the water. Excellent skiing at Mt. Bacheloris is a short 20 minutes from home. A short ten minute walk along the river path leads into historic old town with its great restaurants, bars, and other quaint businesses. the view and accommodations make for an incredible stay for those seeking a rental for 30 days. Perfect for a writer looking to get away a while, for skiing and the winter experience, for summer fun with many lakes and wilderness areas to choose from, or for a couple to cocoon together for an extended stay.

Really beautiful, comfortable home with lots of helpful amenities and a great location. My husband and I stayed for a month in August and were sad to leave! All of the beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was super well stocked with nice herbs and spices and condiments. Back yard and front deck were both very nice options. Easy walks (tho uphill) to and from nearby parks and downtown Bend. Host was easy to reach and very helpful. Highly recommend.

Fantastic location with a lovely view

We really enjoyed watching the sun rise from the large picture windows of this home. And the house does feel like a sanctuary with a thoughtfully furnished main floor and perfect backyard setup. The kitchen is set with many things one may want: spices, a hot water pot, coffee maker that supports drip and K-cups, french press, dutch oven, pie plate, and glass storage containers to name a few. The mattresses are new Tempurpedics. And I just refilled the propane tank for the backyard fire pit table, so it's ready to go!

The good & the bad

The rental location with great views was close to down town Bend, The Mill District and golf courses. The back yard was very beautiful with waterfalls. However, the house needs repairs related to the double doors, lights in the back yard and the cleaning service. When I mentioned the issues to the owner he threatened to evict me because I complained too much. Not good customer service. Also, the bed in the master bedroom needs to be reconfigured. Too difficult to get in or out. Great house overall but stressful experience with the owner.

Response from VrboOwner on 12 Aug, 2021
The tenant complained numerous times per day via email about many aspects of the house. He claimed it wasn't very clean which I knew not to be true because I spent one night there before the rental to check the house condition after the cleaning crew had cleaned it.. It was immaculately clean, however I forgot to take with me one razor cover which the tenant found and concluded the cleaning crew did not do a good job. I felt bullied by the tenant and once I pushed back by telling the tenant he was free to leave anytime and that I might evict him if he continued to criticize everything, he settled down and everything went fine for the remainder of his stay. According to the cleaning crew , the renter left the place in excellent condition and despite our rough beginning I would rent to him again. I sent both a plumber and electrician to the house during his rental because of a slow draining shower and back yard lights which weren't turning on. He was correct about the master bed which I am going up there in August to replace the bedframe.

Amazing Summer Get Away

This house is a gem of a property! We spent the month of July in our beloved town of Bend. When you first walk into the main floor, you realize the house sits on a hill overlooking downtown Bend. You begin to unwind as you see a sea of pine trees through the living room windows. Both the main floor and master bedroom patios are equipped with great furniture and umbrellas to get some Vitamin D. I must say my favorite spot to relax was with the master bedroom patio as you can see and hear the Deschutes River go by. Walking to First Street Rapids Park is just minutes away and I think one of the best spots along the River for swimming or sitting on a rock or bench and reading a book. We walked to downtown Bend numerous times for coffee, shopping and dining. Northwest Bend (property location) is really a special spot with great restaurants, breweries, and shopping and proximity to the River. There is also fun to be had at the Old Mill District and the Amphitheater where we saw a concert and is only 10 minutes away. The fabulous tv with Satellite was perfect for my hubby as well as the numerous golf courses he played. I am a hiker, and within an hour from this home, are spectacular lakes, waterfalls and hot springs. This property resides on a dead end street so the neighborhood is very quiet. The owner, Bud, was great to work with and made sure we had everything we needed and also followed up after our stay to ensure we had a pleasant stay. We will be back!!

Kari was a pleasure to speak with before,during, and after her recent stay with her husband. She was very appreciative, easy to get along with, and just seemed to be a very enthusiastic person. I hope they will come back again as they were a super couple.

A Wonderful Respite...

We put everything in storage and decided to hit the road this year, and our first stop was several months in Central Oregon. We chose this house out of many options for some winter fun and we couldn't have been happier. The first floor with the wrap around windows, southern exposure and light was so restorative after a tough 2020. I spent every morning on the window seat looking out over the territorial views with a smoothie in hand. I will miss our time in this house! So much to list that was awesome: * Great kitchen for cooking. We love to cook and bake and we took full advantage. Aside form the usual, they had ceramic cookware, a toaster oven, a Nutri bullet, a slow cooker, and a Traeger outside... my husband perfected his brisket and pulled pork. Yum! * Furniture was SUPER comfortable. The sectionals were great, dining was solid, mattresses were comfy. And the TV/soundbar were studpendous. My husband and daughter fell in love with the size of the television, and I had to put the kibosh on us every buying a television that large! :) * Proximity to stuff! We went up to the mountain to ski often. We walked on the river trail super frequently (loved that). We liked to joke that everything we went to in Bend was 7 minutes when you looked it up on the GPS. Just a perfect location. Neighbors were nice and quiet. * Backyard and balconies were great. Even though it was largely winter, we spent a lot of time either catching some rays for Vitamin D on the front balcony or spending time at the fire pit in back. (As spring arrived, the frogs moved into the water feature in our back yard, they were lovely!) * Garage was tall enough for CRV with a roof rack and box. We very much appreciated that and it's very rare. * Owner was lovely, responsive, and a great communicator. * Sauna and the jacuzzi tub were also a nice touch for someone who needed to recover from skiing while in super bad shape, as we were when we arrived! * Well stocked. We rented for a very long period, and he really stocked up kleenex, dishwasher detergent, laundry, etc. That was unexpected and nice. We would definitely rent this house again!

Hi Michelle, Thank you so much for such a great review. I'm sure it will help get more rentals. It would seem you have become my gold standard for a renter in all areas. I hope you enjoy the rest of the summer. ...Bud

About the host

Hosted by Irving A. Meeker

Host profile image
I am a partially retired 69 year old dentists with a wife and four grown children and all but my son Adam live in Los Angeles, Ca. When visiting Adam and his wife and daughter, my family loved the house when we visited the real estate open house. Their reaction to the place was all that was needed and we purchased it in October of 2018 There are so many outdoor activities in the area that there is really something for everybody to enjoy. Come and see for yourself

Why they chose this property

upon walking into the house during an open house, my entire family loved it instantly and so I bought it right away at full price because of the unanimity of their initial reaction.

What makes this property unique

The view, light, comfort and open air, non-claustrophobic, zen-like feeling about the place is truly relaxing.
