Very relaxing/quiet neighborhood. Floors creaked so no sneaking around! This comes with an older house so wasn't bothered by this. Great kitchen -large enough to cook meals & still visit. Hot tub was a great addition. Will definitely be back again!

Lovely home and great location

We had a great stay, the house is adorable. It was clean and well equipped with everything we could have needed. It’s a perfect location for walking to everything and yet quiet. The hot tub was so nice to have and very clean, in a private little fenced in yard. The only reason we did not give 5 stars is due to the fireplace being attached to the room temperature thermostat, so it won’t go on unless the thermostat is set in the 80’s, and the squeaky floors. We realize it is a very old and very charming home, but if you’re sensitive to squeaks, it could bother you. All in all a wonderful rental that we would recommend.

Floor

Our visit to Bend was to move our daughter to college. The home and location were great, as we were 7 minutes to the school. However, the floor in the living room leading into the kitchen were not. Obviously it was not installed properly which made the floor squeaky, very loud when you walked.

Great stay but could not watch the world series

This is a great little house very close to everything and walking distance to town. It was frustrating that I would not watch the the baseball world series on the television. The reason for this is that there was no regular cable programming but rather streaming TV by Roku. We are older adults and do not have these apps and and have a hard time navigating these streaming services.

Very convenient to walk to town for restaurants (10-15 minutes) in a quiet neighborhood. Nice hot tub and smallish deck to drink coffee in the morning. Comfortable beds. A couple of things would improve enjoyability... coffee filters, facial tissue and shower amenities would be nice. Barbecue a little difficult to light but worked fine once we figured it out. Thanks for sharing this great little house.

About the host

Hosted by Erin Woods

Host profile image
My husband and I have been managing and renting vacation homes here in our hometown of Bend, Oregon for over 17 years with our business, Home Spun LLC, and we love what we do! All the vacation homes in our Home Spun LLC exclusive collection provide distinctive alternatives to traditional lodging in Central Oregon. Our places provide a one-of-a-kind experience by offering amazing downtown locations, top of the line amenities, and personal service. We are picky about which homes we represent. Each home has been handpicked so our guests can experience an inviting and unique vacation with privacy, scenic surroundings, recreational opportunities just moments away, and the amazing city of Bend at your feet.

Why they chose this property

All of the vacation homes we manage are located in the Galveston Avenue District or Historic Downtown Bend area. We love that our guests can park their car and explore all the best parts of our city on foot or by bike, getting a real chance to fall in love with our sweet little city.

What makes this property unique

The River Run finely blends the charm of Bend's historic craftsman houses (this one was built in 1920), with modern amenities. The vaulted ceilings and numerous windows let the gorgeous Bend sunshine flow into every room, and this home invites you to really relax.
