About this house rental
This one-of-a-kind home on a tucked-away street has a location that can't be beat -- a stone's throw from the First Street Rapids Park, an easy walk to downtown, and quick access to the Bend Parkway. With a warm and friendly vibe, the newly remodeled property has two bedrooms and two baths, sleeping up to four guests. The main floor includes a welcoming entry, cozy living room, laundry/storage room, a bedroom, bathroom, and the all-new sunny and bright kitchen -- a welcoming, well-equipped space. A large pantry/closet, right off the kitchen, has space for storing coolers, picnic supplies, food items and more. Upstairs, the master suite -- with bedroom, bath and balcony -- provides its own little getaway, and a peekaboo view of the river. The front yard, just outside the kitchen door, provides an inviting space to gather, dine, enjoy a drink or relax with a book. From here you can see, hear and feel the Deschutes river as it makes its way through town. There are also a couple great swimming holes with large rocks to kick back only seconds away. Around the side of the house you will find another, more secluded, patio space. Walk down the steps at the end of the street to the First Street Rapids Park. Cast your fishing line into the river from a large boulder at river's edge. Turn right on the path and take the footbridge that crosses over the river to the Aubrey Butte River Trail. Turn in the opposite direction along the river path and walk to downtown Bend -- just a short walk away! To venture beyond downtown, take the parkway just outside the neighborhood, to numerous points of interest in town and beyond -- Mt Bachelor Ski Resort, fabulous mountain lakes, hiking and biking trails, beautiful golf courses and many more of the attractions that make Bend such a popular destination.

We had a great stay here while visiting Bend! The house is very close to a short stone stairway that leads right to the Deschutes River path which was super fun to walk and explore with the family. I’d go back again!

We had a fantastic time at this house in Bend, it is even better than the pictures! The house was close to all the places we wanted to visit and had everything we need to prepare the meals we made in. It was so nice to be close to the river and walk down in the mornings. We will definitely look here first when coming back to visit!

We stayed here with our 8 month old infant and 4 year old for a relaxed Bend vacation. The house had everything we needed. The location was awesome, a quick walk to the Deschutes river trail and pioneer park. The kids loved it. This house is near downtown but feels tucked away in a tranquil and quiet area. We will be back!

This house was amazing! It was clean, super cute, and a short, beautiful walk to downtown Bend. I’ve stayed in a lot of CRBO’s, and what really set this one apart were the little touches that made such a huge difference. Not only were there cute patio sets in the front yard so visitors could enjoy the sound of the river, but some of the chairs had blankets on them so we’d be comfortable. Everything had clear directions on it explaining how to use that item. There were snacks waiting for us when we arrived. In short, I felt welcome and well taken care of. This is an amazing place to stay and I will definitely revisit it if I need a place to stay in Bend!!

This house was perfect for a quick weekend getaway. The house feels new or newly renovated - we especially enjoyed the peaceful outdoor area. Access to the walking path along the Deschutes was perfect for a quick stroll to breweries and restaurants. We would definitely come back!

Clean, spacious property right next to the Deschutes river/greenway. Perfect location. Close to everything, and even walking distance to downtown Bend. Highly recommend this property.

3-4 of us spent five nights and there was plenty of room for all of us to spread out. We all loved the high walkability factor of this home base. We weren't lacking for anything during our stay.
No problem recommending this place to anybody.

The property was exactly as advertised and was the perfect choice for our visit. Walking distance to downtown, easy access to/from the highway, and just a stone’s throw from the river and trail. Loved that the property was in an surrounded by trees and local fauna, we even had a deer come by to say hi. House was clean and nicely appointed. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Everything about River West was perfect! Great location. A short and scenic river walk to downtown Bend. The house was beautifully decorated and maintained with all the amenities for a comfortable stay. The beds are super comfortable. Our host, Eric, was very responsive and nice to interact with. We highly recommend this place and hope to return on our next trip to Bend.

This home is very comfortable, clean and inviting. The kitchen is well-stocked with everything you need to prepare meals. The location is fabulous-just steps from the Deschutes River. We walked downtown along the river. I highly recommend this home.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location was great, it has A/C which was definitely needed during our stay since it was hot in Bend while we were visiting. The Deschutes river is steps away from the property which we loved and you aren't far from downtown area where there is plenty of shops, restaurants, breweries and coffee shops to enjoy. The house was perfect for us 1 bedroom and bathroom upstairs and 1 bedroom and bathroom downstairs.
5.0
A stone’s throw (literally) from the Deschutes, this 2 bedroom was perfect in every way. Clean, intelligent indoor set up…lovely outdoor sitting area. Walkable to downtown along a gorgeous river path. Add a beautiful and friendly cat that would greet us outside each morning; we could not possibly have been any happier with the accommodations, the serenity, the location and the communication. Thanks so much for hosting us, we truly appreciate it.
5.0
What a great property. Nicely and newly remodeled with a well-stocked kitchen. Just a couple of houses away from river. Nice and quiet location. It was lovely to pour a cup of coffee in the morning and walk down to enjoy the River.
We walked 2 miles to and from the Amphitheater for three separate nights of live music. Easy location to get around to all the awesome outdoor activities.
Plan to stay here again next time we come.

We absolutely loved our stay in Bend, the location of the house and amenities provided were top notch! We traveled during a very warm week, the air conditioning throughout the house made our stay very comfortable (I think this is a new addition, previous reviews stated ac was only upstairs, but additional units had been added downstairs too making for a very comfortable temp). The house was clean and very well stocked with all the essentials to prep meals. The hosts also provided coffee and popcorn, such a nice and thoughtful touch! We would absolutely return, lovely trip!
5.0
Great spot and nicely appointed. 100 yards to river (steep stairs)- you can hear it from the house and see a bit from second story. Quick bike ride and <20 min walk to restaurants on the river.
5.0
We loved this cute place with an incredible location. The outdoor space was perfect! We were able to enjoy the river and walk to downtown Bend. Would recommend bringing an extra fan with you if it’s hot, although the hosts did provide multiple and not their fault it was HOT, the downstairs bedroom was super hot at night.

My husband and I and another couple stayed at this property while in town for a concert. It was absolutely perfect. Beautifully decorated. Nothing was left out. So many thoughtful gestures to make us feel so comfortable. Sparkling clean and every amenity one would need! The only comment to address is the water pressure in the downstairs bathroom shower., it was wicked! Very, very strong, but sure felt good washing our hair! The highlight for us was the beautiful back yard to relax in in the evening ...Oh and the River walk trail is magical! We even got down into the river to cool off.
It is a beautiful home!

Our stay at this gem was nothing short of amazing. The property is exactly as described and the pictures depict it perfectly. Very impressed and we hope to be back next summer! Great location, well stocked home with everything needed and adorable touches by the owner!

Super cute and cozy!
Loved this VRBO! Probably my favorite in years! The layout is perfect for two couples or people who need privacy. It was spotless and the owner was generous in providing kitchen goods, soap and detergent, loads of extra towels. They also left a pound of coffee, large can of peanuts, chocolates and popcorn.! Which gave us until the next day to get to the grocery! There are two air units which meant comfort in the heat was ensured!
The closeness to the Deschuttes River can’t be beat… a few feet down the road. You can hear the rapids from all over the house and yard. The shaded, grassy yard was peaceful and serene for resting between our Bend adventures. We’ll be back for sure!
Thank you so much!!

Beautiful home in a fantastic location
This is a stellar property in every way. The owners take great care to anticipate your every need. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything to make beautiful meals which we ate outside in the lovely yard. There are thoughtful and artistic touches throughout the home. Everything was very clean and comfortable. The home is close to the river and in a fantastic location. We can't wait to go back!

Clean, cute and wish I could have enjoyed it more for recreation. Here for work.
Overall, very presentable and clean. Nice touches with coffee and chocolates, etc... in the kitchen waiting for us. We weren't there much given we were there for work events, but it was a nice space. Only suggestion would be if there was a cot or something for a 3rd person. Our crew each took a bedroom but I ended up sleeping on the floor to give them their own rooms. Not a big deal, but probably not common to have 3 adults like we did with none sharing a room. :)
