Hi Brandon,
Thank you so much for letting us host you! We appreciate such kind guest. I hope you took advantage of the area and explored while here. Happy Holidays and stay warm!
After figuring out how to navigate the parking lot to find where this unit was located (really the only challenge of my stay), this proved to be a perfect spot for my quick visit to Bend. It's an easy and convenient walk to downtown and beyond. Would definitely stay here again as a great place to base for a visit to Bend.

So glad to hear you had a great stay with us here at Bend Riverside Rentals! So sorry to hear that the parking lot was a bit challenging! We are happy to assist with directions from our on-site office or a phone call any time! :) Being able to walk downtown from our location is definitely a wonderful perk so I am happy to hear you got to take advantage f that! Thanks for being a wonderful guest, hope we get to host you again soon!
Fabulous studio on the river and greenway! Open the door or window and your there, 10 feet from the greenway and River. Old D’town is easy 5 minute walk , and greenway goes on thru town and out into the forest. For cyclists you can leave from the front door and be on bike path for 6 miles leading into the Nat Forest with boundless biking trails. Perfect spot for those lucky enough to get it!

Wow! Thank you so much for this incredible review! We’re beyond happy to hear how much you loved the studio and its one of a kind location right on the river and greenway. It really is special to be able to open the door and step straight into nature, whether it’s a peaceful walk along the water, a quick stroll into downtown, or hopping on your bike and heading out to the trails. We’re thrilled you got to experience all of that during your stay and we can only hope to see you back again next year! Take care my friend.
Elizabeth, we are thrilled to hear you had a comfortable stay and were able to bring along your pup! Here at Bend Riverside Rentals, we offer several pet friendly condos so our guests never have to leave their furry best friends at home! It would be our pleasure to host you again for your next trip to Bend, Oregon!
Great location. Amazing view.Comfortable accommodations.
We spent a very comfortable 3 days. We hiked 12 miles along the river one day. Breathtaking views. The unit was very comfortable. Nice bed.Only downside was poor water pressure in the shower, so we ended up taking baths.

Thanks for the awesome review! We’re so glad you had a comfortable stay and got to enjoy those breathtaking views on your 12-mile hike (wow, that's impressive!). We're also thrilled to hear the bed was comfortable, who doesn't love a good nap after a hike like that? As for the shower, we're sorry about the water pressure. I want to let you know that I have created a work order for our maintenance tech to clear up this issue asap! Thanks again for staying with us, and we’d love to have you back anytime!
In general this is a nice spot, located close to town and in a cozy space. We appreciated the view of the river, a working thermostat, kitchenette, quiet unit with no loud neighbors, and it’s quite a bit of space given it’s a studio. Some notes for management to address are that the shower water pressure is bad, and the fridge is loud. That said, it was a pleasant stay overall and worked well for us and our dog.

There is no other spot like it in Bend! The view from the window, the location and the patio overlooking the Deschutes makes for a hard place to leave. However, we totally hear you on the fridge and water pressure. We will take a look into these right away and see what we can do to get it corrected. Thank you so much!
Not all of the cottages here at Bend Riverside Rentals have patios attached to them which is what makes the unit so stinkin awesome!! It offers a king bed, fully equipped kitchen, and a patio with views of the Deschutes river that will have you never wanting to leave. We hope you enjoyed the place just as much as we do. Take care, Dan!
Great view and location, had everything we needed. Highly recommended.

This is the perfect place to book your adventure for you and your family, including the pups as we know they have to be a part of the trip as well! With being right along the Deschutes River Trail and spillway it makes for a pretty awesome place to stay. We hope to see you back again next year, Happy Holidays Julie!
I loved it in December. I’m sure it’s an amazing spot even without snow.

Edith, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review for our unit, "Riverrun Retreat". We are so happy to hear that yo enjoyed your stay! Winter is a special time of year in Bend and we are so glad to hear that you go to enjoy it!
We were right on the river trail. Walked into town daily. Everything was great. Will stay again. It was a little difficult finding our room when arriving. Also, pool was closed as we booked to have a swim with our grandkids. Otherwise, a good value for our vacation dollar.

The property was perfect- nothing fancy but right on the water and right on the bike path and not far from everything- we jumped on our bikes and toured around- ate at Sen (too expensive but right on the water)!

Pam, thank you for the wonderful review of our unit! While our unit is tucked away by trees and the beautiful Deschutes river, we are still only a ten minute walk to downtown! It makes it the best place to stay for families who want a little bit of everything Bend has to offer! We are so glad that you had an enjoyable stay and we look forward to having you back!
A perfect place, just a 10 minute walk from downtown via the Deschutes River Trail right at your back door. Very clean, comfortable bed, well-stocked kitchenette, and nice chairs for tv watching. Loved it!

Hi Pat! Thank you so much for leaving us such a lovely review! We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay here! Glad to hear that you utilized the river trail that's along our property line as it sure is a convenient way to get into downtown! Please keep us in mind for the next time something brings you to Bend, we would be happy to rent to you again!
We were in Bend for a late May music concert and had a great time exploring the area from this ideally located rental cabin. We enjoyed the river walk, Prairie Park, and bird-watching from the outdoor area at the cabin. Also, only a short walk to downtown Bend for shopping, dining and drinking. The cabin was comfortable and clean.

Overall loved the property. Being next to the river was amazing! But the bed could really use a mattress topper. Other than that would stay again!!

Thank you for the review Jourdan! This unit is defiantly one of a kind as it is such a relaxing place to be yet you are still just a 10 minute walk to all of downtown Bend! As for the mattress, we will keep our eye on this, we appreciate you bringing it to our attention!!
I especially enjoyed having a kitchenette to prepare my own food. I sat on the Patio in the evenings to listen to the river and watch 2 Canada geese going about their business. It's a very well- appointed unit, my only suggestion is to put the toaster within reach. I loved the fireplace.
