Thanks so much for the note about the home being well appointed, clean, and comfortable. That’s just what we strive for! We feel so lucky that Bend has these quaint alley entrances in our neighborhood, and that they provide such wonderful designated off-street parking (at a premium on the trendy Westside) so close to the door. Such easy access for loading and unloading groceries, bikes, floaties for the river, kayaks, skis, etc. --- all the toys we use so regularly in beautiful Bend! The Nest is close to great dining, bike shops, groceries, brew pubs, the river and much more that are all just an easily walk or ride away. We treasure the fact that our guests get to experience Bend like a native, in a great location and in a great home, right down to two giggling little girls in a hot tub next door. You can't help but be happy in Bend! Thanks again for writing and come back to The Nest again soon.

I am so glad you enjoyed your long stay here at The Nest. The space is small, but comfortable. And the location makes it even that much better! We loved hosting you for your visit. On a related note: we have new mattresses on order! Though we have been at the mercy of slow supply chains, they are now scheduled to be delivered and in the house by August 7. Come back for another visit to test them out!

This house is in a great location, and I am glad you enjoyed it! I was surprised about your comments regarding the beds... I know that bed and pillow comfort is very personal as shown by our recent positive reviews specifically mentioning the comfortable beds in this home, but I will be sure to follow up. The parking spot in this house is actually poured concrete, though the city alleyway leading to it is indeed unpaved. It is a single spot made for just one car, though really nice to have since it is private and off street so you do not have to fight for parking in the public areas. I was confused about your cleanliness comments, as that is absolutely atypical in my homes, especially since you sited under beds being unclean and we have solid bed platforms that go all the way to the ground so we have no under bed area. My two cleaners have been working exclusively for our company for over a decade, but feedback like this allows us to continue to train and retrain to make sure we are offering a great guest experience each time. Thank you for staying while enjoying our great little city.

I'm so glad that you enjoyed the modern newness and the well-appointed set-up of the Nest --- we always strive to make our places uber-comfortable. And of course that wonderful hot tub is always a plus after a day of having Bend-fun! I'm sorry that you were disappointed to not find personal hygiene items though. We have made a deliberate choice within our rental company, to be earth-aware and to avoid the waste that comes along with providing those small plastic products. We feel its a small step but a good one in the right direction. Trying to find that happy balance.... I have always enjoyed having that cute fireplace for additional cozy atmosphere (and that nice warm heat) but when I run it I do turn off the central heat system if it gets too warm, rather than run both. I just love melting into the nice warm hear after a day on the mountain. When I do settle in to relax I find the upgraded cable access offers wonderful music selections of all kinds ----I'm sorry you didn't find those options, but will put a newly updated channel-selection sheet in The Nest for future guests so they can enjoy their music. In order to keep our housekeeping costs reduced (and they are lower than industry average) we ask that our guests run their used towels through the wash, take their garbage to the outside can, and run the dishwasher if they have dirty dishes. This is very standard in most vacation rentals and allows us the option to keep our guests costs lower, which we all enjoy. Really we so enjoy sharing our home with good guests that it just all seems to work. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and hope to see you back in beautiful Bend very soon.
