About the host
Hosted by Kevin Swan
I grew up an Oregonian and I love every corner of our great state from the city to the desert. After working in New Mexico, I returned to Oregon determined to find the perfect spot -- star filled skies, sunny days, an ocean of open spaces to explore, rich history, moderate politics, friendly folks, and an entrepreneurial artistic spirit.
As a community organizer, I have worked across the country for causes I believe can make the world a better place. Having traveled much of my life and working in the travel industry it's no surprise that hosting families and newcomers to Oregon brings me a great deal of joy. Whether or not you stay at the Recreation House, I hope you have a wonderful time in central Oregon. Take some time to explore our vast special natural areas, historical places, museums, local music and breweries, and i'm sure you will love your life while living in central Oregon.

Why they chose this property
When I began investigating the housing market in Bend, I was only planning to learn the market, not make an immediate purchase. But after identifying my dream list- a roomy house with fire places, a quick bike ride to downtown, away from traffic, a quiet nature filled neighborhood, large fenced yard with old trees, a garage for toys, close to parks and an open floor plan -- amazingly, I found my dream home. I spent almost 10 months doing upgrades and hand selecting every piece of furniture and art - some new, some from my travels, and others reclaimed from local area thrift and antique stores. I love this house -- it is perfectly cozy. This house will make you feel well taken care of, and it gives you easy access to the places and qualities that makes Bend special.
