This was a perfect rental for our needs. It was in a great location, and the rental had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Just a couple of notes that the fenced yard is not accessible from within the unit, you have to walk around; and, it was not useable as there were a ton of weeds. It’s off a quiet alley, so we didn’t have any noise issues, but not the friendliest spot to sit outside and enjoy the neighborhood. Lastly, we didn’t need it, but the fireplace/stove was not operational in case that’s something you’re hoping for. We would stay here again based on proximity to everything!

Great location but inaccurate listing

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We booked this stay while we were here for a concert, and while the location was FANASTIC, the rental was old, worn down, and dirty. It did not look like the listing photos. The bed was a thin mattress on slabs of particle wood. We also received no instructions about how to find it and it was in an alleyway behind the actual address which maps/gps didn’t take us to. We were also told checkout was 11am and that’s what the listing said, but the morning of checkout we were texted that it was actually 10am and the door code would no longer work. We had to rush back from breakfast to get out in time.
Response from VrboOwner on 4 Oct 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We were glad to hear that the location worked well for your concert plans, but we were sorry to hear that other aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. We appreciated you bringing the concerns about the condition and cleanliness of the rental, as well as the directions and checkout information, to our attention. We took your feedback into consideration and shared these concerns with the appropriate team so they could be reviewed. We also understood how frustrating it must have been to receive conflicting checkout information and apologize for the inconvenience this caused. Thank you again for your honest feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to provide a smoother experience for future stays.

Great Great location cute little bungalow and good accommodation. Only areas of improvement would be: the back patio was a weed patch with no shade and the bed in the master was very low and not comfortable.

Great location with minimal traffic and within walking distance of the Downtown. Convenient parking and easy access to the cottage made our entry very easy. Would have loved to have a normal bed rather than futon-style bed, but we slept very well regardless.

We had a great time staying in this clean and quiet bungalow. Neighborhood was lovely for walking with lots of shade trees. Very close to great restaurants and coffee. Centrally located to walk into town or over to river waterpark and amphitheater. We’ll be back!

Perfect close in spot

Love this little place. Had everything we needed to cook and was so walkable to downtown Bend, Deschutes River, and the Amphitheater. They had some wonderful welcoming gifts for us and the AC was nice because it was a little warm in Bend when we stayed! Clean, comfortable, and convenient.

This was a perfect spot for my wife and I to get away to for a few days. Close to Galveston beer pubs and close to downtown. We even walked to the concert at the amphitheater. Drake park was also close by for a walk around the lake. We will be back!

Bend Bungalow

Great little bungalow in a sweet spot of Bend!! Easy walking to parks, river, food (options are endless and none disappoint!), breweries, shops. The house was tiny but perfect for our needs. Very clean. Quiet neighborhood. Easy drive to Mt Bachelor, Tumalo Falls, among other surrounding parks, hikes. Alpenglow is a great rental company. Will certainly reach out to them again in the future.

Misleading space

Hello, Unfortunately, we're unable to leave a positive review. The fireplace was not operational, which should have been clearly documented. The heat in the bathroom did not work for most of the trip. And hot water ran out very quickly. Quite frankly, I'm surprised we were not offered a discount.

Mixed feelings about this place.

The space was clean and quaint. We specifically booked this house due to fenced area for the dogs, but upon arrival you have to walk around the home to get to the yard, no direct access from inside the home and the gate was cut too short on bottom and was not secure for our pups, so wasn't able to use. If you want door dash...forget it because they cannot find this place. Entrance is confusing and down an alley with address not recognized on navigation. Neighboring VRBO took our parking space which was frustrating. The central location of the house is great due to being able to walk to old downtown.

We specifically booked house so dogs could be in fenced area and were not made aware you could not get to patio without exiting front and walking around house. Gate was too high and not secure to ensure they did not get out. Someone parked in our spot 2 days without moving car which hindered easy access getting to patio also. If you want door dash forget it…nobody can find it.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I’m sorry for the frustration you experienced. Bend’s alleyway layouts can make homes harder to find, and we understand how that affected arrival and deliveries. We also apologize for the lack of clarity around patio access and gate height and the parking issue, all important details, especially when traveling with dogs. Your feedback has been noted and will help us improve communication and the experience for future guests. Thank you again for taking the time to let us know.

Nice place, Served me well. Fun location and well equipped kitchen. Excellent amount of streaming options on the TV. Fun stay over all. I'd be glad to return in the future. Things to improve: 1) Blinds in the bed room. Sun comes in early and the room lights up. I am someone who needs a room dark to sleep well. 2) Air condition is missing in bed room, You need to leave the door open to the living room for the AC to come in but this adds more light that can come in early in the morning. 3) Kitchen counter tiles paint stains and dose not come off after scrubbing. Id suggest something more glossy and easy to clean.

Great location, mind your ankles

The bungalow is in an ideal location for good access to everything we and our dog wanted to do. The property itself is small which is fine except that the bed frame juts out and I left with bruised ankles. Just an FYI for future guests. Also note that the back yard has to be accessed via the driveway not the house. We missed that detail. The kitchen is decently stocked and has an exceptional selection of herbs and spices. But bring your own knives if you plan on cooking!
