About the host

Hosted by Ian and Kristy Haworth

Host profile image
Hi! We are Ian and Kristy Haworth and we welcome you to our beautiful Bend cottage!
Moving here from sunny Southern California as young adults 30+ years ago, where we both grew up, we are not strangers to resort living lifestyles. Raising our now young adults kids in the area, we know and love Bend! We love to work hard and play hard! What a perfect spot to paddle board on the river, ski at Mt. Bachelor in the winter and everything in between.
We are not always in Bend as much as we would like to be but have plenty of family and hands on help if something arises. Please reach out to us as we are always available.
We look forward to hosting you in beautiful Bend, Oregon!

Why they chose this property

This 1920's home was built at the time of the lumber mill on the river just south of the house. Many homes around us are actually old train cars put together by the mill workers to live in. Ian's parents live on the river right down the street and theirs is this type. Incredible history lie within these streets. Truly where the center of town began! We have had the privilege of owning this home since 1996 and is where we lived when we first got married. Sweet memories live in this home! And now, it is waiting for you to enjoy and build your memories!

What makes this property unique

There is no place like this area to live and to vacation! Most people don't use their vehicles to get around. Even in the winter it is fun to bundle up and walk to breakfast around the corner or to take the path to the Old Mill for a movie or concert. Everyone is friendly in the neighborhood. A smile and wave everywhere you go!
