About this property

Riverfront Beauty! Location Perfection! Walk to the best of Bend

Outstanding View AND Location!
On the Deschutes River in the heart of Bend, this cozy cottage on a quiet street will give you the vacation experience you have been dreaming of. The setting is so relaxing you may not make it to all the outdoor recreation Central Oregon is famous for. Directly on the Deschutes river for a fabulous view from the living room, kitchen, deck and yard!
The small home features; free wi-fi, full, efficient, well appointed kitchen, washer, dryer, luxury linens of high thread count pure cotton, outdoor deck and fenced yards, front and back.
The amphitheater concert venue is also just a half mile upstream.
This charming home is walking distance to Bend's downtown through the lovely Drake Park that hugs the eastern bank of the Deschutes River.
Although the river current may look calm just in front of the cottage it is quite swift cold and strong. A good swimmer could still be swept downstream easily. Not a safe location for young children!
Our cottage is just about 900 square feet, so it is the definition of cozy. We keep it very clean, homey and traditional with quality touches. A lovely gas fire heats the main living areas of this cottage. The bedrooms and bathroom have their own fairly quiet wall heaters. This cottage does NOT have central air although we have fans for every room, and a portable A/C unit if the weather gets very hot and is not predicted to be cooling down at night. The nights usually cool down nicely and we have provided fans to keep air moving.
The high thread count linens of pure cotton; down, and down alternative pillows outfit the bedrooms. Down, and down alternative duvets will keep you warm on chilly nights.
The cottage is also walking distance to the Old Mill District with it's recognizable shops, restaurants, and multi-cinemas. Bend's downtown, in the other direction, features charming old historic buildings and many weekends is host to the seasonal festivals and 'First Friday (of the month) Art Walks'.
Columbia Park is just a five minute walk up the quiet street and over the footbridge up-stream from the cottage. Miller landing is also just upstream, up the road, about 5 minutes.
Walk to many of the micro-breweries Bend is also so famous for. Being on the west side, there are many small restaurants and food trucks/trailers/carts featuring many different offerings.
There are 2 bikes available for use. (We can be sure to have the tires inflated and in working order if you let us know you would like to use them.) There are also 2 stand up paddle boards for use we will have ready if you let us know as well.
For inside the cottage entertainment, besides the local television stations ABC NBC CBS, we have a small library of DVD's, and videos to choose from, and a 'Roku' for access to Netflix, Prime, or other apps. with your own account. Watch your selections on the 42 inch TV screen. We also have a selection of books, puzzles and games (dominoes, checkers, Parcheesi, Scrabble, cards etc.)
An AM/FM radio, CD and ipod (old) doc is also available.
The West side of Bend is also very close to Century Drive, the road to Mt. Bachelor, home to winter recreation. Skiing, snowboarding, cross country skiing and skating as well as snow tubing available through the winter and usually until the end of May! Ice skating is also available just a few minutes walk up river at the new ice skating rink (winter only). Between the cottage and Century Drive are ski shops for all your recreational needs including rentals of skis, snowboards and snowshoes.
We have attended to all the details we have found so nice in vacation rentals we have enjoyed.
Many of our guests have told us they do not wish to give a review as not to 'spoil their special spot' or find their favorite vacation time has been taken. We welcome repeat guests who would like to book with us and we work with principals only (do not ask to rent if you will not be staying and paying for yourself).
We are keeping the cottage hypoallergenic so pets are not allowed. (Any evidence of pet smuggling, will be billed from your security deposit at a rate we determine.)
Even in the winter it is always a lovely view of the river and very cozy and warm with the radiant gas stove.
Come visit and enjoy as much of beautiful Central Oregon as you can. It's a recreational feast!

About the host

Hosted by Lorlee and Thomas Ackerman

Host profile image
We are long time residents of Bend.
After we bought the cottage in 1999 we spent time and spare change remodeling it to face the river and update the plumbing and electrical systems. Our family of 4 then moved in for several years so we could remodel our dream home.
We loved this peaceful place and know you will too.

Why they chose this property

This home is awesome because of it's place directly on the river. It is perfectly located between downtown Bend and the Old Mill with old trees and natural beauty.

What makes this property unique

LOCATION-PERFECTION!
This cottage has everything! ON THE RIVER AND IN THE HEART OF BEND; yet on a quiet street! A sweet little yard, dock and outdoor firepit to complete it!
You can walk to the best shopping, dining, breweries, food trucks and parks. The kitchen is very well equipped. The linens on the beds are high thread count cotton. We offer down and down alternative pillows and quilts. There are books, games, videos and DVDs and an i-pod dock/radio if you want to stay indoors. The last Blockbuster on Earth is here too!
We have 2 bikes for use and 2 stand up paddle boards. Please let us know and we will have them in the yard for your use.
It is just so relaxing to sit and watch the river go by.
