The "Sweet Spot" of Bend — Walk to Everything

Welcome to a piece of Bend's history. Our masterfully restored 1917 logger cottage sits in the most walkable pocket of the city — the spot locals call the "Sweet Spot," where downtown's vibrant culture meets the shopping and dining of the Old Mill District. We're homeowners, not a management company, so you'll find the little touches we'd want ourselves throughout.
Inside is a thoughtfully curated 2-bedroom, 1-bath layout that balances historic charm with modern comfort. True to its 1917 roots, it's a cozy, smaller-scale home where every square foot is put to good use — if you love authentic historic cottages with real character, you'll feel right at home. Two bedrooms plus a Tempur-Pedic sleeper sofa sleep up to 6.

Waterfront Adventure, Right Out the Door

Forget the car and the parking fees. You're just half a block from the surf wave on the Deschutes River and the new river launch — an easy spot to drop in kayaks, paddleboards, or tubes. After your float, stroll home along the Bend River Trail, which leads straight into iconic Drake Park.

Family & Pet Friendly

We're steps from the newly renovated Columbia Park, where families will love the modern play structures and open green space. The cottage is fully pet-friendly with a large, fully fenced yard so your dogs can enjoy the Bend sunshine. One honest note for pet parents: the fence ranges from about 3 to 6 feet — perfect for most dogs, but determined jumpers or climbers will want a little supervision outside.

Built for Groups & Concert-Goers

You're an equidistant, walkable distance to downtown, the Old Mill District, the Box Factory, the Galveston Avenue shops, and the Hayden Homes Amphitheater — walk home after the encore, no Ubers needed. Headed up the mountain? The Mt. Bachelor shuttle stop is a short walk away.

Made for Remote Work & Longer Stays

Fast, reliable Wi-Fi and quiet, sun-drenched corners make working from here easy, while a fully equipped kitchen and in-unit washer/dryer keep longer stays comfortable. Unwind in the evenings around the fire pit or with the smart TVs throughout.

Good to Know

During the week, we may have someone bring the trash bins to the curb and back, and handle snow removal or landscaping as needed. We do our best to schedule this between stays — but if anything happens during your visit, it'll be quick and unobtrusive.
