Cute Bungalow

Cute house. Walk to town. Well maintained. Unfortunately, there is currently a major road project going on. RIGHT OUTSIDE THE HOUSE. The noise started by 7:15 most days. Like a giant transformer shaking the whole house. We did day excursions both days and when we returned by 4:00 pm, it was done for the day. It was extremely disruptive to our visit.

Great location in the heart of Bend

This adorable house is ideally located between downtown and the Old Mill District, within easy walking distance of both. Best of all, they allowed us to bring our dog, and the house is right across the street from a dog park - we could not have asked for more! The house was immaculate and the hot tub was a plus. We will be back.

Great place to stay-Excellent Cottage

Had a great long weekend with wife and Dog. We lived in Bend for 5 years so it was great to return. The house is fantastic with alot of attention detail. The set up was accomodating for work from home as well. We would stay here again. To be clear, there are homeless people living out of there cars or sleeping on sidewalk across the street. We live in downtown Seattle so it's nothing we havent seen before and overall we never felt in danger.

Very walkable to downtown - very present houseless challenges

This property is super cute and exactly as described. It's well-appointed and comfortable. We loved walking to downtown Bend - everything is so close! We had an issue with check-in (key code we were sent didn't work), but the property manager responded immediately to get us set up. Appreciated quick communication. Everything within the owner's control is great. Free coffee was a nice touch! As others have mentioned, there is a serious houseless population challenge at this location we didn't really appreciate until we showed up. The house is on a corner, and for each of the four nights we were there, we saw 8-12 different homeless folks either in parked cars or in tents on both streets surrounding the house. We saw lots of overt drinking and drug use, and we could hear shouting at all hours. It made us feel a bit nervous about our cars in the driveway, but we had no issues. We've stayed in downtown Bend in a number of different VRBOs within a mile of this location, and this is the only place we've ever seen this issue so prevalently, maybe because of the park nearby? I feel bad for the owner of the property given this is not in their control, but if you have small children or feel uncomfortable with visible homelessness, this is not the right VRBO for you.

The house was cute, clean and located close to town. Unfortunately, the amount of homeless activity/camps right outside on the sidewalk was worrisome. We ended up leaving the property and moving to a new home we felt safer for our child to be in.

Cute cottage in need of electrical work

The cottage is super cute and great for a weekend but not a week (in my opinion). My family of three stayed in this cottage for a week during the summer. The window AC unit is located in the living room so unless your bedroom door is open its very hot. The electrical box needs updated. The AC unit and hair drier can not be run at the same time without blowing a fuse. Although the property manager was prompt in addressing this issue it happened multiple times during our stay. Storage is an issue. Neither of the bedrooms have closets making it difficult to store items, we ended up putting our suitcases outside in the back yard. The location to old town Bend is great. Easy walking distance to Drake park and restaurants. The one downside is the church next door does a weekly community outreach for the homeless population. We were harassed on multiple occasions when we walked into town. For three days during our stay homeless camps gathered in front and sides of the house. The window blinds had to be completely closed in order to have privacy during that time. The backyard is cute however the property manager needs to leaf blow ahead of guest check in because spiderwebs dominated the sitting area.
