We invite you to enjoy our new craftsman home, privately situated between two 100 year old Elm trees.

Around the corner is the cozy living room with a gas fireplace and comfy leather furniture, a new 40 inch flat screen with Roku and Wifi throughout the home. Additionally on the main floor there is a laundry room and full bath adjacent to a spacious high ceiling two car garage, for all your toys.
All three bedrooms are located on the upper floor, with two balconies and a windowed inside sitting area. The master bedroom has a King bed, Jacuzzi tub, large walk-in closet , coffee maker, 40 inch flat screen and private covered deck which looks out over Bend’s Westside neighborhood and surrounding trees.
Additionally, there are two more bedrooms with queen beds. One of the queen rooms has its own private sink and vanity. These queen bedrooms share a full bath, sitting area, and a shady balcony to admire the
neighborhood and city skyline from two stories up.
On the lower level there is large screen tv with Roku and Wifi, a large sectional, heated floor and soft carpet. Additionally, in the family room alcove, there are two comfy twin beds.

Five stars. Location.location.location.

Very comfortable. Good beds and linens and towels. Our kids loved the hot tub. The layout of the house is family friendly. If someone wanted to escape they could go to the basement and chill. Have never experienced heated floors in a bathroom- what a treat. Easy to get to grocery stores and breweries. Only thing I would recommend is more cutting boards and a full length mirror

Amazing Bend House/Perfect Location!

Warm and inviting house - meticulously kept and in a quiet neighborhood. Easy walk to Mirror Pond, downtown area, and great food. A straight shot to Newport Market to stock the fridge with goodies for family and guests. The owners were very gracious and were responsive to questions. Loved staying here and will return if available during our stays in Bend. It was truly one of the nicest places to relax with the family and enjoy Bend! October may not be ski season but it is still lovely in Bend as the foliage is peak and it is not too crowded. Highly recommended!

Great place to stay!

This house was perfect in every way for our midweek Guys Getaway. The location is central to most anything you could be looking for. Our plan was to ski 2 days, but we got weathered out the first day. Not a problem, as our secondary mission involved visiting as many of the amazing Bend breweries as we could fit in. Again, location was great. Bend had a ton of snow on the ground(over 2 feet) so the roads in the neighborhoods were horrible, but we could walk easily to 10 Barrel and Brother Jon's(great food). Being able to get one of our vehicles in the garage was a huge plus! The house was everything we could ask for. The rooms were all very clean, and overall very comfortable. The owners were great and openly communicated everything we needed to know. We all decided that this house will be on our list the next time we visit Bend.

Great Location

House was very nice, it had almost everything we needed for cooking, etc. One downside was the air conditioning upstairs, we found it a bit warm due to the extreme heat the days we were there (105 degrees!) cold air didn't get upstairs. Mary was great and responded quickly to any of our questions. Thanks!

Great Bend Getaway House

Stayed at this home with six other friends. It totally fit the bill and was as advertised. Close to grocery stores, coffee shops, bakeries and the all important breweries. The house was comfortable, clean and quiet. Great kitchen for cooking comfortable living room and bedrooms. I highly recommend this home when planning your next trip to Bend. We hope to return next ski season.

A Delightful Family Stay

This was a great location for our long-planned family vacation with our adult children, including their 11-year old. We spent a week here and found everything comfortable, convenient, and well-appointed. We selected this house at least in part because of its proximity to coffee houses and brew pubs, and were not disappointed - many good choices were within an easy walk. We all slept well, stayed cool in the hot Bend summer, enjoyed coffee or a beer on one of the decks or the porch, made good use of a well-appointed kitchen: this is one of the best VRBO properties we've ever stayed at. Towards the end of our stay, smoke from nearby forest fires kept us inside, where we had plenty of room for puzzles, books, games, and video watching, and filtered air to keep us safe. We are hoping to return, without smoke next time, but this was just an all-around excellent experience for us.

About the host

Hosted by Rick and Mary Christen

Host profile image
We are both lifelong Oregonians. We lived in Portland for many years, but visited Bend whenever we got a chance to take advantage of the great weather and outdoor activities. We enjoy hiking, biking, skiing, and kayaking.
We love the ever-changing weather, beautiful scenery, clear mountain lakes, and fresh fragrant air. Also, the small town feel but amazing entertainment, shopping, art galleries, and award winning beer and restaurants.

Why they chose this property

We began visiting Bend together in the early 80's and were always blown away by the weather, beauty and outdoor recreation. When we got the opportunity to move here in 1996, we jumped in with our two kids, 4 and 2, and embarked on the Bend adventure!
Twin Elms (as we call it) is right in the middle of everything, but on a quiet, idyllic street. Our home is easily walkable to everywhere you want to go in minutes (parks, restaurants, bakeries, cool shops, coffee etc.). Elgin Street is situated in Bend’s eclectic Westside.

What makes this property unique

We really enjoy this new topographically elevated 3 level Prairie style home. There is plenty of room to get away from each other or gather together, even if there are 8 people. It is handsomely situated between two very large 100 year old Elm trees, left over from an old mill house teardown, so it has a well established feel to it. We love sitting on the shady balcony, 2 stories up, looking out over the neighborhood and city skyline. The cool Elm canopy and the sound of the chirping birds makes this a peaceful oasis.
