Westlake Cottage - Great Weekly & Monthly Rates - walk Downtown

Welcome to our highly walkable neighborhood.

Enjoy the hospitality of one of Bend's family-owned, micro businesses on a peaceful street in a carefully-renovated, 1922, west side bungalow. This homey abode, named for the Westlakes, 60-year residents of the house, blends new furnishings and finishes with old time character and charm. The large lot boasts gorgeous lilacs, honeysuckle and iris blooming in spring, a wild butterfly garden in summer, and plenty of room for snow men and snow forts in the winter. Wildlife frequently visit the neighborhood, including mule deer, rabbits, quail, hawks and hummingbirds. A great house for out-of-town grandparents visiting family in the area. The Westlake Cottage is located north of Portland Ave on NW 3rd St on a quiet residential street of older homes.

The house can sleep up to 5 people in two bedrooms with queen-sized beds in each ('NovoPure' organic construction mattresses) and on a full-sized futon couch in a semi-private family room. A gas fireplace makes the living room cozy in winter, and in summer there's AC in the back half of the house. Summer sun makes the whole house cheery.

The First Street Rapids on the Deschutes River (a great place to swim on hot summer days) is a short, four block walk from the Westlake Cottage. From the Rapids you can follow the River Trail downstream for miles along a well marked path, or cross the footbridge and walk upstream 10 minutes and be in downtown.

An easy ten minute walk will get you downtown to enjoy brewpubs, fine restaurants, coffee shops, live local theater and music, and of course, Goody's old-fashioned ice cream parlor.

Note rental apartment taking shape: The building of a second apartment at the back of the property has been going for a couple of years now, and happily should be completed this winter. Activity at the build should be minimally noticeable, if at all, within the Westlake Cottage. The new ADU shares backyard space with the Westlake Cottage until we can re-landscape the backyard next spring.
