DOWNTOWN LOCATION Walk 1 minute to reach Galveston Street. Many Bend favorites like 10 Barrel Brewing, Ariana's, The Victorian Cafe, Sunriver brewing and more, are there.

Please note that the 4th fireplace in the upstairs living room is out of order until further notice. You'll love snuggling up in front of the fireplace in the river view master bedroom, a perfect way to wind down your day.
SLEEPING & BATH ARRANGEMENTS Riverfront sleep at its best...This home sleeps 8 very comfortably. All bedrooms are upstairs. This home has 3 bedrooms (king, king, queen) and family room with a bunk bed (full and single). All beds feature crisp high thread count linens and European style bedding.
The master bedroom is on the river with it's own private balcony, small desk work area, fireplace and smart TV. The ensuite master bathroom has gorgeous river views from the corner soaking tub. The master bath also has a walk-in glass shower with a very generous walk-in closet.
A shared tub/shower combination bathroom in the upstairs hallway is very convenient. Don't forget the powder bath on the main floor which eliminates trips upstairs during the day.
A Pack & Play crib and 2 high chairs are also provided. Please do bring your own baby linens. You'll enjoy high thread count linens and crisp, fresh duvets in all the bedrooms. Fluffy white towels and spa towels for the hot tub provided for you as well.

OUTDOOR SPACES AND SALT WATER HOT TUB There is something for everyone at this home. Whether it's shooting hoops out front in the driveway or launching your paddle board off the back dock, soaking in the hot tub or curling up by the river with a good book, you'll find a bit of everything here.
Just a note that play gear is provided at the whim of the homeowner and the selection will vary. Currently there are some bikes, a paddle board, lots of life vests and other fun items. Please come prepared to rent toys if there is something you must have and it is not present. There is plenty of play gear in the garage. Don't miss the regulation height basketball hoop out front too.
In the back yard, the real fun begins...Walk through the wooden gate and watch the river view open up right in front of you. As you walk to the river's edge, you'll pass the (seasonal) meditation pond and waterfall. Don't miss the salt water hot tub either! We do ask you to be whisper quiet in the hot tub after 10pm. The upper yard has a gate to the lower yard to keep kiddos safe from the water's edge.
At the water's edge, you'll find your own private dock complete with lounge chairs and gas fire pit. Whether you choose to spectate or jump in, you'll love being on the river. In summer, there is endless entertainment in the endless parade of river floaters.
In quieter seasons, the river residents are birds, otters and other natural wildlife. On occasion beautiful ice floes build up on the river banks.

This was probably the best property we’ve ever used through VRBO. The management company was very easy to work with, the property was fantastic, and the location was perfect for our stay in Bend. Highly recommended.
Beautiful home in a great location. Fast and easy ride to the mountain. Home was well equipped and communication with the property manager was always available. Can’t wait to come back!
We were blown away by this home, not only was the location great, but the feeling of being home from the moment you walk through the front door. A very special location and a wonderful home away from home. We will be back!
We had a wonderful stay celebrating a few family birthdays. The location was fantastic and the house was better than expected. We would definitely stay again.
Great place and our second time renting the past year. Can’t beat this place on the river comes with everything you need!! Definitely back again next year!
We had a great time the house was clean very spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed swimming off the dock and paddling the river. It’s close to everything so we walked and also did the river float ending right at the house. We would definitely stay here again.
Beautiful riverfront property close to Drake Park and Old Bend. Home is well stocked and professionally managed. Comfortable beds, spacious and well designed home with 2 car garage. We skied at Bachelor and enjoyed walking to nearby restaurants. Quiet neighborhood and excellent location.
This place is spectacular. So clean, so comfortable, so spacious. We loved the furniture inside and out. This is easy walking distance to so many shops and restaurants. We even walked to a concert at the amphitheater. 10 out of 10!
The house was perfect for our group, collegiate ski racing team from Michigan. The boys had plenty of room to spread out with all of the living areas and beds. In between racing, they had to keep up with their college courses and the house was perfect for their needs. It is well decorated, with a fully stocked kitchen that is very large. In the evenings we parents would make dinner with the team, and we’re also able to enjoy the home. It is a five minute drive from downtown, and just under a 30 minute drive to Mount bachelor. It is in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of a few restaurants and a brewery. The rental agency was helpful and made entry into the home easy. I would definitely look forward to staying here again.
There’s so much to love about this Bend, Oregon, property. It is professionally managed and it shows. We had access to every room in the house, and it was wonderfully stocked with plenty of towels, toilet paper, etc. Everything worked as expected, and the living space is spacious and open. We used the grill to cook steak and it worked perfectly. We had access to the garage space and could park our car inside the garage. The backyard was right on the river so we could go tubing and could end at the house. This house is located close to restaurants and within a five minute drive to downtown. Highly recommend it!
Such a great stay. Beautiful, spacious house and property right on the river with everything close by. We had paddle boards and kayaks and life jackets at our disposal and lots of cool seating all around the property. We enjoyed every second in this house and wished we would have stayed longer.
The home and it's amenities were nothing short of PERFECT. The location could not have been better. It is right in the middle of everything located along the river all within walking distance. Didn't have to start the car once!!!
This place had everything we needed! The location was amazing for our group which included 4 kids - walking distance to parks, direct access to kayaking, etc. We LOVED it. Hope to come back again soon!
This house is amazing! Great location, lots of space and felt right at home the moment we arrived. Walked to the park and great restaurants even with temperatures in the 30's! Loved sitting by the fireplace and relaxing while watching out the windows at the amazing view of the Deschutes River.
This property was wonderful! Can't say enough good things about it. It was very comfy, plenty of room for everyone to have their own space, and a fabulous kitchen. We enjoyed fun on the river too! House was very well stocked, and everything worked!
We loved our time there and will definitely be coming back!
Many Thanks
This is an excellent property for a family vacation . It is a very open layout, with so much room to socialize. Kitchen was great to cook for a crowd. Upstairs living area really helped when you need a separate area for kids or privacy. The rear yard rests on the river and is exceptional for relaxing and feeding the ducks, highly recommended !
What a beautiful house and an amazing location. We had an amazing stay and had everything we needed. You can walk to bars, restaurants or just serene walks along the river. The house was well stocked with games, puzzles, kitchen needs, spices, towels and toiletries. The hot tub was clean, warm, and we used it everyday! Property Management company was helpful and check-in was a breeze! We will be back!
