Host was very helpful and welcoming. The home is cozy and has everything we needed. I really appreciated the fenced backyard for our pup. The neighborhood is wonderful! It’s a couple of short blocks to a walking path along the river and to great restaurants.We’d totally come back!

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!
