New! Historic Bend Cottage | Walk to Breweries & Drake Park
Step into a piece of Bend history at the Hawthorne House — a beautifully renovated 1930s cottage with a modern twist, tucked into the heart of downtown Bend just two blocks from shops, breweries, restaurants, and Drake Park. Built in 1930 and home to local Bend families for over 57 years, this 732 sq. ft. cottage later became the legendary graphic design studio of "Design of the Times" by Ed Carson, creator of the iconic Deschutes Brewery artwork and the Cascade Cycling Classic branding and artwork. Several of Ed's original pieces hang proudly throughout the home, giving guests a truly one-of-a-kind connection to Bend's creative heritage.
The charm and history don't stop at the front door — stroll to Drake Park and the Deschutes River, grab a craft beer at one of Bend's legendary breweries, bike to Phil's Trailhead for world-class singletrack, or drive up to Mt. Bachelor for a powder day. Bend's best is right outside your door.

Thank you so much for the lovely review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the property for your getaway weekend. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back for another relaxing stay!
This property supplied us with everything we needed and the 5 minute walk to downtown Bend was the absolute best possible location.Navigating the very small bathroom was difficult for me as one who does a skincare routine every night/morning and makeup in the morning. The bathroom does provide the necessary services of shower/tub, toilet and sink and the plush towels were lovely.Very clean which is always a top concern for me.Overall a good experience, but I would probably get a little larger property if I visit this area again.
The home is older and although on the small side, it was easy to navigate throughout the house and the accommodations were thoughtful. Might suggest more USB ability in the bedrooms.

Thanks so much for visiting! I hope you will visit again soon.
My husband and I were able to book a last minute Bend getaway and stayed in this home for 3 nights. It was absolutely PERFECT. The size was great for us (and we believe we could have easily fit our two young children), it was very clean, and the location was unbeatable to walk to everything from downtown Bend to spots like Crux.

Thanks so much!!! I am glad you had fun, come back soon!
The house is small, but didn’t feel cramped for a family of four. The location is great for walkability to many of Bends restaurants and breweries. The only downside was there isn’t any quality outdoor space at the house itself. Communication with the management company was smooth.
This little house was perfect for me and my adult son. It is a tiny house, but worked great for us. We had our own separate spaces, kitchen was big and definitely used the washer/dryer. The location is funky because it is exposed and right in the middle of a business district. Hard to find for delivery ppl. Otherwise, you can walk to a lot of places in town and a short drive to Old Mill district.

Meh
First and foremost the location is great. Really short walk to everywhere in downtown. The house is small but the kitchen is good size and the 2 bedrooms are nice.
On the down side the bathroom is tiny. The shower curtain hits you if you are using the toilet. The shower /bathtub was dirty when we arrived. It also didn’t drain so we had to go to the store to get drain cleaner or stand in 2-3 inches of dirty water. My wife had to clean the bathtub and use the plunger on the shower just to get the water to drain. We had the same problem with the sink.
The photos are extremely deceptive. The nice fence masks the concrete parking spots right next to the patio which really isn’t a patio at all. Just enough room to open the front door. I asked about a fenced area for dogs and was told they have one. However, they didn’t stay it was a 3 x 8 concrete slabs wedged between the kitchen and the garage with as bbq taking up 1/2 the space.
Also worth noting that the entire house is surrounded by concrete parking lots. This house has literally no outdoor space other than 2 parking spots.

Thanks so much for your review, we take all feedback into consideration and seriously. Since you have left an anonymous review, its hard to say what happened here. I am sorry you did not feel comfortable in reaching out with issues that you have had during your visit, I really wished you had! We would have been able to help you with anything you needed. The home is thoroughly cleaned and inspected prior to a guest's arrival and the home is impeccably clean and well maintained and was recently renovated. The photos are accurate as is the listing and actually does mention the small patio that is fenced w a BBQ for a small dog and does not mention the front covered porch w seating, I will edit to include. The new fence is a nice addition to the front porch for privacy and it is located in downtown as described. We are sorry you feel this way, and do invite any future guests to please reach out with any questions about this home, it is so cute and guests do love the location and the historic charming nature! We hope you have a great summer, Victoria, Alpenglow Vacation Rentals

Reviewer Comments:
The 5 minute downtown walk to downtown Bend was the best feature of this property.The property was very clean which is very important to me. As a person who does a daily skincare routine and makeup every morning, I did have difficulty with navigating the VERY small bathroom.The bathroom does supply the necessary shower/tub, sink and toilet and the thick, fluffy towels were appreciatedIf I were to stay in the area again I would probably choose a slightly larger property. A little too small for three adults. I would still classify this experience as "good".I can not comment about the management company as the company switched hands the day before our trip.
