About this property

Riverfront Cottage -Near Drake Park, Walk to Town.

One bedroom with queen bed and a really comfortable queen hide-a-bed, right on the Deschutes River. You can walk one way to town (through Drake Park), and the other way also along the river to the Old Mill District.

You can watch the otters, beavers, eagles, osprey, mink, heron, geese, swans and ducks from the riverfront deck. There is another deck with a gas bbq right out the back door.

It is a short drive to Mt. Bachelor for world class skiing as well as the Cascade Lakes with amazing outdoor recreational opportunities.

Hiking, mountain climbing, road biking. You can even ride your mountain bike from your front door, and in only 3 miles be on the famous Phil's Trail, with 100's of miles of uncrowded single track.

Wonderful stay at this property! Cute little space that's well stocked and comfortable, and different lounging options for the deck on the river. A couple block walk from Drake Park and downtown isn't much further from there.

Such a delightful home on the river. the kayaks were so much fun and the deck was so relaxing. John as a host was so available and facilitated an earlier check in when we needed it and he responded quickly when we reached out as well. Would definitely rent from John again and this property is on our favorite list for sure.

Fantastic little place to stay and enjoy the river! Got to enjoy geese, ducks, and an otter from the dock. Our pup loved hanging out outside in the fully fenced backyard, too. Morning kayak rides were the best!We will definitely be back next time we come to Bend!

This little cottage had everything we needed (2 people and a small dog). The cottage is centrally located between drake park downtown in one direction and the deschutes river trail old mill in the other direction. In short, perfectly located with a short walk to explore Bend. We loved exploring Bend by foot by day and hanging out in the backyard in the evenings. We did cook quite a few of our meals ; the kitchen was well stocked. Overall, fantastic stay at this sweet Bend cottage.

The Riverfront Cottage exceeded my expectations. The kitchen had everything I needed for my morning routine and nightly meals. The deck got a healthy dose of sunshine - the perfect spot for coffee and chill time. Bed was perfect! I hope to have a longer stay in in 2026.

About the host

Hosted by John

Host profile image
I am a semi-retired real estate investor who fell in love with Bend and can't find any place I would rather live. There is so much to do here if you like the outdoors, but the community feel is what really makes it special.

Why they chose this property

This was my vacation home in Bend before I decided I had to live here permanently. There are not many homes on the river in Bend, which makes it quite special. You can walk through Drake Park along Mirror Pond to downtown Bend in about ten minutes, and the other direction is the Old Mill District. I love this location and neighborhood so much that when I wanted a bigger home, I moved next door. It is rare to find a place that is so close to everything and because of the river still seems a bit wild.

What makes this property unique

It's really all about the river and the central location.
