The view and tranquil river was just what we needed. I thought 6 nights might be too much, but we really enjoyed our stay and could have stayed longer. The cottage was perfect for us and very comfortable. We even had the large Buck visit us. He is not shy of humans. The Host were great to work with too. Thank you!

You can't beat this spot on the river! We loved hanging out and watching the tubes float by. It's also a nice walk into town. The best of both worlds!

We had an amazing time at the river cottage. We spent most days paddle boarding and tubing down the river, relaxing in the backyard, walking to parks and restaurants and enjoying summertime in Bend. The cottage was clean and had all of the amenities we needed. The hosts were incredibly accommodating and even left snacks and drinks. Being right on the river was absolutely wonderful. We can’t wait to be back!

We had an amazing stay at the property and look forward to booking again next summer. Really couldn't ask for a better location to enjoy walking to downtown or old mill, and the fact that you could tube the whitewater park and float back to the house was amazing!!

First off, the location is Ideal!! Very great walking distance to many places. The property is right on the Deschutes River. You walk right out your door and cross the lawn and there it is! Many other homes we noticed you had to go down a flight flight of stairs in their backyard to get to the water. They had bikes available, but you need to let them know in advance so they can make sure the tires are pumped up. That house is fully stocked as if someone lives there, which is wonderful! We will be back!!!

My family and I had a great time! I love the location! You can park and walk or bike everywhere. The pictures on Vrbo didn’t do justice for the property. I was pleasantly surprised! Clean nice mill home. I enjoyed laying in the shade on the grass in the backyard! Thanks for sharing your home!

We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage. It was in a great location to float the river or walk to local restaurants. The house was very clean and we felt at home. Everything you need to have a comfortable stay was there including some drinks and snacks they provided. We will be staying here again for sure and we can’t wait!! Thank you!

This was our fourth summer in Bend, but our first time staying on the riverfront. It was a game changer, especially for the kids. They played on the river most of every day. For food and entertainment we walked and rode bikes downtown and to old mill. We had a great vacation! I wish I lived in this house :-)

Perfect location for enjoying all Bend has to offer. The cottage is located within an easy walk or bike ride distance to the Old Mill District, Drake Park, downtown, and Galveston Avenue. Relaxing in the backyard watching the river flow by was a special treat.

Cute cottage, very clean, with nice kitchen and comfy beds. Owner thoughtfully supplied snacks, drinks and bathroom essentials. Back yard is a WOW! Nice deck and manicured lawn up to the Deschutes. All the sun or shade you want anytime during the day. Small dock for sunbathing or easy in/out of the river. I'm old 60 and out of shape but I was able to easily carry my tube to McKay park, go down the rapids and float to Drake park then walk back. We did it 3 times one day. Walk to the Mill District or Downtown. easy access to bike paths. Just a great location! The portable AC was adequate Will rent again!

Such a peaceful and beautiful setting, shared with ducks, geese, an antlered deer, and kayakers drifting by. The house is well equipped (even found a desperately needed sewing kit for some quick clothing repair), charming and walkable to great restaurants, parks and whatever! The location can’t be beat. Loved it!
