We were very happy with the house. It is in a nice area of Bend, near to pretty much anything you might want or need. The house itself is very nice, and thoughtfully stocked, especially if you are a dog owner. There were some appreciated touches that way. The yard is fully fenced, and had plenty of room for our two big dogs to run and play. Overall, it made the trip to Bend a nicer stay.

About the host
Hosted by A Stone's Throw Bungalow LLC
We live in Boulder Creek, CA, near Santa Cruz, deep in the redwood forests. We started visiting Bend in 2008 when our son and his wife moved here. Since then, most of our daughter-in-law's family has moved to Bend, and we've visited many times. With every visit, in different seasons, we saw more of the town and the area, and the more we experienced, the more we loved it. We love the sunny weather, the gorgeous river flowing through town, the constant striking views of the snow-capped mountains, the beautiful old houses, the friendly people, and the abundance of good food, drink, and entertainment.
This family purchased this home after lots of searching and then learning a Bend grandbaby was on the way!
Why they chose this property
This cherished family home is the homeowner's basecamp for family and grandkiddo visits! Lucky to have found a home in one of their favorite neighborhoods...It's walking distance to family, to all of the stores, restaurants, and bars on Galveston and Newport, downtown, and the river and Drake Park, and it's on a lovely, quiet, tree-lined, street, with friendly neighbors. It couldn't be better.
What makes this property unique
Warm and cozy getaway in the heart of Bend's westside...So walkable to downtown, and all the shops on Newport and Galveston Avenues. You'll love your basecamp home, tucked into one of the best neighborhoods in Bend!
