Directly above river w/a 5 minute walk to downtown. 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. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the city centre - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping centre - On a river ### Things to do - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Ice skating nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rafting nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Recycling - Unit size: 1,484 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/13000000/12350000/12347300/12347238/d0b16fe2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### My Place Hotel - Bend, OR Southern Crossing - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 9.0 Wonderful 1,003 reviews £89 includes taxes & fees 9 Nov - 10 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-09&endDate=2025-11-10&selected=12347238&PinnedHotelID=12347238&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/23000000/22130000/22121600/22121505/1abb6c4d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Award winning Downtown Cottage Retreat-Fall stays available.

The house is perfect for 2 couples and has a great front yard to hang out. It’s in a very quiet neighborhood so word of advice, if you invite others over to hang out for their Birthday that aren’t staying with you, make sure they keep the volume and antics under control and are respectful to others. ##### Shelly A.

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!! ##### Jaclyn J.

My wife and daughter walked into town twice (about 20 minutes) and didn’t have to hassle with finding a parking space or paying for one. The interior of the home was immaculate. It had an amazing kitchen space and the upstairs master was fantastic. When we come back to Bend we would stay here again! ##### Dennis W.

The house itself was extremely clean and well maintained. Our hosts were very communicative, friendly, welcoming and really went out of their way to make sure we had everything we need. I can honestly say that this property is one of the best (if not THE best) that we've stayed at. We will definitely be booking again next time we are in the area!
