About this property

Bluebird Day - River Gem Bungalow

The River Gem Bungalow is a bright and cheerful one bedroom treasure nestled in the heart of Bend`s popular Westside with a location that can`t be beat!

Right across the street from the Deschutes River, it is within walking distance of the Old Mill District, historic downtown, Hayden Homes Amphitheater, and numerous breweries.

Directly behind the house is Bend`s newest park, Miller`s Landing: a riparian strip of riverfront with nesting osprey, walking trails, and excellent river access.

Only a few steps away is a charming footbridge that takes you over the river on an easy walk to Columbia Park and "Pirate Playground", a wonderland for kids.

This natural-contemporary style home features high ceilings, lots of windows, a cozy loft and artistic touches that highlight the authentic Bend lifestyle. Relax on the deck or under the aspens in the big backyard, surrounded by mature trees and landscaping.

If you prefer to get out and explore, there are plenty of hiking and mountain bike trails just minutes from town in the Deschutes National Forest. The spectacular Cascade Mountains and many lakes are an easy 20 minute drive providing endless opportunities for outdoor adventures.

This home proudly features European style bedding with fresh, clean duvet covers and high thread count linens, a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and microwave, washer, dryer, wireless internet, and much more for you to discover!

Super cute little place right off the river. So many people walking by with dogs, it was very cool. The cottage is very small, but we enjoyed it. You could not get an adult up in the high loft, but our kid loved it. Only criticism was there were lots of dog hairs on the loft bedding and cushions, besides this, all good!

Cozy spot in the heat of Bend's best!

The bungalow was perfectly suited to our needs and the location couldn't be better for walking the river trail, access to parks, restaurants in Old Mill, downtown, west side pubs too! We loved it. Great neighborhood and friendly people buzzing with a fun vibe. The small kitchen was suitable for what we needed - even the bigger meal prep I was doing for our daughter who had just had a baby. Having the small back yard for the dogs was also great - but the access to the trails just out the back gate was the best! We would definitely stay again...

Walkable indeed!

As others have noted, this is a VERY walkable location, though it is a couple blocks minimum to just about any business. One of the walking bridges across the Deschutes is literally across the street, which is very convenient to wander just about anywhere in central bend. Even in cold, rainy December there were walkers/runners/bikers/dogs coming past the house every 3-5 minutes all day. Overall very clean, pictures represent it very well. Cute bikes available in the shed, off-street parking. Nice yard for the dogs.

About the host

Hosted by Bluebird Day Vacation Rentals

We are a couple of nerdy engineers originally from Texas and New Mexico. Our free time is spent crashing our mountain bikes, walking our dog in the forest, and playing with our young daughter.

We love that Bluebird Day Vacation Rentals is a locally owned and operated property management company, and we appreciate that they have a philosophy about celebrating and preserving Bend culture that is right in alignment with our own. They take amazing care of our home, and will provide you with great service!

Why they chose this property

The ease of access to the outdoors really appealed to us. We moved here in 2007 and have loved every minute of our time here. The small town qualities of Bend lend itself as a perfect place to raise our daughter.

What makes this property unique

This house is situated in an amazing location. The Deschutes River is just steps away. Downtown, the Old Mill, numerous breweries, Les Schwab Amphitheater, bike trails, parks and more are all right out the door!
