Mixed feelings about this property. It is NOT where listed on the (admittedly not specific) map one looks at prior to making a non-refundable reservation. I am from Bend and was looking for a specific area, and this house is on the opposite side of the river shown— it is off Revere Ave north of Pioneer park (I was expecting the other side of the river in lower Awbrey area as shown on the map.) However, when I realized how close it was to the excellent river walk into town, I was fairly happy about the location.
The house is clean, has the essentials, and is affordable considering proximity to town and considering it has so many rooms, though the stairs to the attic room are so steep (and the attic sooo hot in summer) that I wouldn’t advertise this as one of the rooms if this were my rental. The queen bed is too mushy for comfort, but the bunk beds were solid and had comfortable mattresses, so we slept well.
I think the thing most people are surprised by with this property is that the yard is all dirt/gravel (and in Bend, that tends to mean the puffy moon-dust type stuff that gets everywhere.) We definitely did not want to go into the back yard, and kept our dog on the path out front to avoid getting too dusty. But— to be fair, they don’t advertise a back yard, and the park is close, so we just went elsewhere for our outdoor spaces.
Overall, this place grew on me and worked pretty well for us. The map location should be corrected for accuracy.
