About this property

Cute Westside Craftsman, Walk to Downtown, Large Garage, Cruiser Bikes!

Cute Craftsman in the quiet River West area two blocks from the Deschutes River at First Street Rapids park. New kitchen countertops, sink and faucet. Although the home has been remodeled over the years, it still maintains the charm of an original "lunch box" home built by loggers during their lunch breaks in the 1920's. An easy 5 minute walk to downtown or take the river trail for a nice stroll or bike cruise anytime. Enjoy all that downtown has to offer: shops, galleries, restaurants or head out to to Bend's famous breweries or mountain bike trails. The Deschutes River with Drake Park, hiking and biking trails, kayaking and tubing are just a short walk away and Mt. Bachelor ski resort is only a 30 minute drive. Your stay includes the use of two cruiser bikes with helmets and locks, a perfect way to explore the area. In the winter, you'll appreciate the large garage to store your skis, fat bikes, snowshoes and to keep your car ready to go! We also provide riding and hiking maps of the area and would be happy to suggest riding trails that fit your abilities if asked. Bring your kayak and test your skills at First Street Rapids.

The Saginaw home has two bedrooms and two bathrooms so you won't need to share a bathroom-a rare find in original Bend Craftsman homes.

Amenities include a washer/dryer, refrigerator, and TV with basic cable. The smart TV also has internet capabilities to access your Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime or other subscription services-just log in. Enjoy the Charcoal BBQ and window a/c in the living room during the summer. The master bedroom has a comfortable queen size bed and a private bathroom. The second bedroom has a comfortable queen bed and access to the yard. In the winter months, the beds have down blankets with additional blankets for use if desired. There is a desk in the office area in case you need to bring your work with you. There is free high speed wireless internet available for use during your stay.

In the warm months, enjoy the outside seating area and BBQ. The flower bed is a pleasure when in bloom and the apple tree and cherry tree may have fruit for your enjoyment.

The Saginaw Home is kept immaculately clean for all our guests. Well trained dogs that are kept off the furniture during their stay are welcome with an additional pet fee.

Please check our calendar for available nights. Come be our guests and have fun in Bend!

What a lovely home in the perfect location! We ended up picking this home partially because of the two bikes included and it did not disappoint. You are a block away for the path to ride along the Deschutes and it was such a treat to be able to ride downtown for shopping and eating. The beds were extremely comfortable and the host had fantastic communication. Would be thrilled to stay there again for a future visit

Character filled house in an amazing location

We came to Bend for a long weekend and to reconnect with friends. This location is perfect for walking to the nearby parks by the river and to downtown. Easy access in and out of the downtown area. And it was great our dog was welcome too. Thanks so much!

Great location

We enjoyed our stay at this house. It was warm in the bedrooms without air conditioning, but we managed with fans. The location was great with access to running/walking trails and parks.
Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2017
Response from VrboOwner on 27 Mar, 2020
I'm glad you enjoyed the trail access. Bend is warm in the summers as it is the high desert so I'm glad you were able to use the air conditioner (not often found in vacation rentals) along with keeping the curtains closed and windows shut during the hottest part of the day to keep the home even cooler.
