I am so happy I have been able to offer this fantastic vacation home on the river to so many wonderful people! Enjoy spring skiing or on the hot and sunny days take a paddle board or kayak out right from our yard! We provide the boards and boats you enjoy the fun! Since we began they have added a surf feature on the river! Surfers paradise ride the wave until you fall off. The city also created a safe passage for floaters so you can put in at the cottage float to Mirror Pond, take the bus up river, put in and float all the way back to the cottage! There are only a few rentals in Bend that you can do that from. We are uniquely situated right on the River between the Old Mill section and downtown. Many guests never drive their car the entire time they are here. Everything is within walking distance from the cottage, including tremendous brew pubs, restaurants and shops. We set out to make our pet-friendly cottage a 5 star vacation destination home and that is how everyone has rated us. You must read our reviews! From the very beginning, our plan was to do everything we could to make your vacation perfect. We provide a lush and welcoming cottage complete with the finest quality furnishings and amenities. You'll discover a beautifully-appointed kitchen with abundant spices and most of the basics you'd need for cooking. The living room has an enormous HD TV with Blu-Ray; the charming bedrooms are attractive and unique and also have new smart T.V.'s We just splurged on new bedroom furniture for the master suite, you'll love it. We also put new flooring in the main rooms, kept the carpet in the bedrooms. The up dated look is fantastic. I want to move in. The baths offer your choice of a roomy shower with the most incredible ornate glass Crane glass, or an antique ball and claw foot tub for a deep soak. There is a full laundry room. We provide welcome wine, a s'more kit for the fire pit by the river; and the wood for the fire also. Coffee beans and a grinder (with regular coffee maker and a French press) and so much more.

(There is a fence to keep your pets and kids from the river, when you don't want them down there, alone. There is a very cool outside bar, plus all kinds of dining sets with umbrellas, comfy Adirondack chairs Our Four Seasons: Each season has gems waiting to be discovered. In the winter, Mt. Bachelor is a mecca for skiers and boarders; plus, there are many areas to cross-country ski. Making snowmen with the little kids is such fun. In the spring, you have baby ducks, geese, osprey, eagles and blossoms everywhere. As the greens explode in the trees and everything is in bloom, many of those snow sport fans shift over to golfing, bicycling, running and hiking. What can't you do here in summer? Our summer sports equipment includes stand-up paddleboards, kayaks and floaties (all are provided at no extra charge). Fall brings us the fabulous colors, and things start to quiet down to an easier pace. Relaxing by the river remains a favored pastime, as well as most of the summer sports. We welcome friendly dogs, and they give us solid paws up ratings, too. Dogs love the big riverfront backyard and they can swim right here! It's easy for them to get in and out of the river because we have , and best of all steps down to the water for you and your kids and pets. Last summer, our cottage was rented every single day. The only thing I hate is when we are vacant, because that means someone is missing the vacation of a lifetime. So I will deal for last minute bookings. But if you are really smart, you will book TODAY and receive your desired time. Look at my calendar; you will notice we book well in advance. So book early if I have convinced you this will be one of the best vacations you have ever had. It really will be.
