Our second time here, and once again all was delightful. Easy walk to the excellent St. Francis/McMenamin pub for any meal. Only slightly farther to downtown. Brief drive to several parks along the Deschutes, beautiful.Also splendid river view dinners at the Riverhouse Currents and the Pine Tavern, and (east end of town, not river view but still excellent) Worthy Brewery.All in all, a very fine visit to Bend.
Beautiful Deschutes River. Walk it!

Lovely home! It was pretty comfy for 2 adults. A little noisy from the street/neighborhood but was fine with ear plugs. Being a short walk to downtown was fabulous! Charming, bright, well appointed home with easy check in. Would love to stay here again!

Happy to recommend the Historic Belle Millhouse as a great place for a couple/small family to stay in Bend. Great location to walk to many of the popular places in town, including the Hayden Homes Amphitheater, the parks and shops in downtown and the box factory and other new areas in the old mill district. The house is comfortable, and has been updated, while maintaining that classic old Bend feel. Will look for this place again when we come back to visit. Thanks Colleen!

The perfect location if you are visiting Bend!

Lovely home, the most well-appointed/clean rental I've visited. If you know Bend on the weekends, it's impossible to drive downtown. This home is a perfect walking launch point. I easily walked to the amphitheater, town, and more.

Great Location to use as home base!

This house was perfect for our stay in Bend. My husband & I were in Bend for a week with our 2 small dogs. The location was perfect - close to downtown Drake Park, restaurants, stores, etc. Bend has tons of dog friendly bars and food options too. The fenced backyard was great! The home had everything we needed to be comfortable and made a great home base. Neighborhood is quiet and safe. Very comfortable and easy.

Great long weekend in Bend!

This house is a great little place! Our little family of 4 had everything we needed for a weekend getaway and we enjoyed being able to walk to restaurants, coffee shops and grocery stores and to quietly observe the family of 3 deer that slept on the front lawn at night! So cute!

What makes this property unique

This house is located is a quiet neighborhood so near the epicenter of Bend. The house itself is a modest but sturdy craftsman bungalow. My next favorite building is Timberline Lodge. I enjoy pine trees, fir trees, birds,, horses, dogs, quilts, craftsmanship and nature. The house also contains a Hudson's Bay Indian trading blanket, a Pendleton Blanket and a great book on collecting Indian blankets. I hope you enjoy the house and Bend.
