Lots of room for everyone, had everything we needed, very clean, and also had a special note waiting for us upon arrival. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!!! Close walking distance to pretty much everything with a great backyard for relaxing. Highly suggest this space.

Beautiful home in perfect location

We had a fabulous time staying at Twin Elms & spring skiing at Bachelor. Beautifully appointed home that would comfortably accomodate large or multi-families; walking distance to many great restaurants, bars, coffee, breakfast spots plus biking, parks & river. Hosts are wonderfully helpful & easily handled very last minute reservation. We look forward to staying again- hopefully, this new listing will be available as I'm sure it will become very popular!

Great house in a great location

My friends and I had a wonderful weekend in Bend and this house was absolutely perfect. Clean, welcoming, spacious and walking distance to everything. We especially enjoyed the large kitchen for cooking meals together and the outdoor space where we could relax and enjoy the hot tub. Everything about our stay was easy and wonderful. We are already planning our trip for next year! Thanks so much for hosting such a wonderful house!

Amazing house & location!

Loved the home! Beautiful, comfortable, clean, spacious & relaxing. Excellent location! Two blocks from 10 Barrel, 5' walk to Drake Park & Good Life. The hot tub was a nice bonus after a long hike. I love that they put new water in it after every guest. My girlfriends & I will definitely be back here again! Only thing that could've made it better was if they had a few bikes to use there. Can't wait to go back!

Five stars. Location.location.location.

Very comfortable. Good beds and linens and towels. Our kids loved the hot tub. The layout of the house is family friendly. If someone wanted to escape they could go to the basement and chill. Have never experienced heated floors in a bathroom- what a treat. Easy to get to grocery stores and breweries. Only thing I would recommend is more cutting boards and a full length mirror

Amazing Bend House/Perfect Location!

Warm and inviting house - meticulously kept and in a quiet neighborhood. Easy walk to Mirror Pond, downtown area, and great food. A straight shot to Newport Market to stock the fridge with goodies for family and guests. The owners were very gracious and were responsive to questions. Loved staying here and will return if available during our stays in Bend. It was truly one of the nicest places to relax with the family and enjoy Bend! October may not be ski season but it is still lovely in Bend as the foliage is peak and it is not too crowded. Highly recommended!

Great Location

House was very nice, it had almost everything we needed for cooking, etc. One downside was the air conditioning upstairs, we found it a bit warm due to the extreme heat the days we were there (105 degrees!) cold air didn't get upstairs. Mary was great and responded quickly to any of our questions. Thanks!

Elegance, Convenience, Privacy, All Mixed Together.

We didn't even come close to filling this house, nor did we bump into each other. This house is brilliantly designed for one person or 8. The layout is designed in such a way that a group of people can rattle around and not bother one another, or they can gather in various places for times of laughter and games. We walked to many convenient locations. The beds are so comfortable.

A beautiful home in an excellent location!

What a lovely time we had sharing time with our family in this beautiful home. It was so convenient to walk or ride bikes to restaurants, downtown or The Old Mill. Comfortable beds, a well stocked kitchen and very nice furniture make the home easy to spend time in. The crystal clean hot tub was amazing early in the morning and again before bed. Additionally, we had an issue with the AC during the heat and the owners were exceptionally responsive and followed up to be sure everything was working properly! Excellent service. You won't go wrong renting this house for your vacation in Bend.

Excellent choice for Bend!

My family thoroughly enjoyed this lovely home. We are all very picky, and there were no complaints. I kept getting compliments for making such a good choice, so I thought the least I could do is write a review. The location was perfect and we walked almost everywhere. It was so clean and the pictures don't really show how beautiful it is. I loved the outdoor area and the fresh water in the hot tub. Can't think of one negative thing to say. We will be back!

Lovely home, great location

Our family of five adults stayed in this lovely home for three nights in August. We found the house to be very clean, attractively decorated and spacious with plenty of room for our group. We enjoyed the cozy living room, upstairs bedrooms which were spread out enough to give a sense of privacy, and the comfy TV room downstairs. Our daughter loved having her own vanity in her bedroom. The patio was a nice space for enjoying wine in the evening. The location of the home was great as we could easily walk to the Mill district for dining and shopping. The neighborhood was quiet. We would definitely rent this home again!

Perfect place!

This house is so nice and it is in the best location. Easy walking to downtown, but there are also plenty of amenities close by without having to go downtown. The house itself was very clean, spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our week’s stay. The only small issue was that the TV in the basement would not consistently connect to the WiFi so we had difficulty watching a movie in that room in the evening when we wanted to kick back after a long day. Other than that the house was perfect and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Bend. Than you Mary and Rick!

About the host

Hosted by Rick and Mary Christen

Host profile image
We are both lifelong Oregonians. We lived in Portland for many years, but visited Bend whenever we got a chance to take advantage of the great weather and outdoor activities. We enjoy hiking, biking, skiing, and kayaking.
We love the ever-changing weather, beautiful scenery, clear mountain lakes, and fresh fragrant air. Also, the small town feel but amazing entertainment, shopping, art galleries, and award winning beer and restaurants.

Why they chose this property

We began visiting Bend together in the early 80's and were always blown away by the weather, beauty and outdoor recreation. When we got the opportunity to move here in 1996, we jumped in with our two kids, 4 and 2, and embarked on the Bend adventure!
Twin Elms (as we call it) is right in the middle of everything, but on a quiet, idyllic street. Our home is easily walkable to everywhere you want to go in minutes (parks, restaurants, bakeries, cool shops, coffee etc.). Elgin Street is situated in Bend’s eclectic Westside.

What makes this property unique

We really enjoy this new topographically elevated 3 level Prairie style home. There is plenty of room to get away from each other or gather together, even if there are 8 people. It is handsomely situated between two very large 100 year old Elm trees, left over from an old mill house teardown, so it has a well established feel to it. We love sitting on the shady balcony, 2 stories up, looking out over the neighborhood and city skyline. The cool Elm canopy and the sound of the chirping birds makes this a peaceful oasis.
