(Click VIEW MORE to learn more about the space!)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
THE SPACE

We call our River Trail Retreat "the Cascade" in honor of both the Cascade Mountain Range to the west of beautiful Bend, and the cascading beer that flows from nearly 30 breweries in Central Oregon.

This lovely, clean, warm, and inviting space features new flooring, modern colors, a master bedroom with a private full bathroom, a second full bathroom with a tub, luxurious king-sized beds in both bedrooms, and a double-size daybed in the living/dining room for extra guests. Both bedrooms have closets and dressers.

The bright living and dining room also holds a dining table and chairs, as well as additional seating. The kitchenette features cabinets, countertops, a 7 cubic foot refrigerator (with freezer), sink, microwave, coffee pot, toaster oven, tea kettle, and electric burner. Please be aware there is NOT A DISHWASHER and there is NOT A STOVE in this unit. We have a large propane BBQ - with a gas burner attached - on the covered front porch, which can be used for cooking. You are also welcome to use a camp stove outside, and we are happy to loan you one upon your request. (No use of the camp stove is permitted inside the house.) Plates, cups, utensils, dish soap, sponge, dishtowels, paper towels, napkins, salt, and pepper etc. are provided. Please bring your own foods, oils, and spices.

We provide free WiFi for your use with your laptops and mobile devices. We now hae CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING :) There is NO TELEVISION in the Cascade.

Clean bedding, sheets, towels, blankets, towels, hand towels, washcloths, and dishtowels are provided, as well as TP! We provide Costco-sized shampoo, conditioner, and bodywash, as well as a hairdryer, and travel sized shampoo, conditioner, and body wash can be found beneath the sink in the sink in the main bathroom. Please bring your own toiletries.

Please note that the living room of the Cascade shares a wall with our living room in our home. That wall is not completely soundproof. We may be able to hear each other when we are here at the same time. And, cooking smells may also pass through. If you do not tolerate any sound or cooking smells through the shared wall, this space may not meet your needs.

Marijuana is legal in Oregon. Bend has many people growing marijuana in their homes and the smell of marijuana is often present in all Bend neighborhoods.

We are extremely equality- and diversity-oriented and welcome ALL guests! This is a safe and inviting space and we are thrilled to entertain every visitor! This space is perfect for singles, couples, families, and any combination thereof! And, we allow pets (with prior approval and a pet fee)!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
GUEST ACCESS

You will share a wall with us - the homeowners - as we have converted the space into a duplex for your privacy! The unit is connected to our home and is separated by a wall with sliding solid-core doors. You will have a separate entrance and full and private access to your space.

You will enter the Cascade through the main front door of the property.

You will have primary access to the front patio, which has outdoor seating and dining space, and to the front yard, which is NOT fenced. You will NOT have access the garage or backyard. Please DO NOT open any gates to, or enter, the backyard.

We have 2 cats, 3 small dogs, and a lizard in our side of the home. You may hear our small dogs bark when you first enter the Cascade and/or during your stay. If you have concerns about our pets, please let us know.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ABOUT US

We are all about warmth and hospitality!

We've learned that most guests prefer to enjoy their retreat privately. But, should you need us, we're just nextdoor. The best way to reach us is by text message.

Please shoot us a text when you arrive and again when you check out!

We may or may not be home when you arrive, but feel free to contact us! Let us know how we can make your stay more comfortable or if you would like the low-down on our favorite breweries, restaurants, activities, and outdoor fun.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD

We LOVE our neighborhood!

The Cascade is located less than a mile from Bend's historic Downtown - walk there in 20 minutes, bike in less than 10, or drive in less than 5! And, it's tucked in against the Deschutes River, so that First Street Rapids Park - the River and hiking and biking trails - is only a 10 minute walk (or 2 minute drive)!

You can walk to downtown via First Street Rapids, along the Deschutes River Trail! It's gorgeous! Directions for walking downtown are provided in a binder in the Cascade!

The Cascade is a perfect pet-friendly retreat. Walk out the front door and take your dog on a walk or an adventure! It's a perfect way to relax and unwind while you are visiting Bend, Oregon.

On-street parking is included in your stay. Please DO NOT park in the driveway.

Public transportation is Cascades East Transit. it goes all over Bend and Central Oregon and is a great choice if you're going to a special event with limited parking. Find routes and schedules on their website.

Of course, Downtown Bend is only a short walk or bike away, as is the Deschutes River Trail, from which you can easily access the Newport Ave and Galveston Ave enclaves, as well as the Old Mill District.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
THINGS TO DO!!

We provide a robust list of things to do, places to eat and shop, and outdoor activities in a binder in the Cascade. It includes breweries (including tours), restaurants, nightlife bars, sports bars, music venues, yoga, and shopping all over town, including downtown, the Old Mill, and the Galveston and Newport enclaves - much of which is a short walk or bike ride away. Plus we can provide info on:

*hiking, running and biking trails,
*dog-friendly spaces,
beer and bike tours,
ways to access the river for floating, kayaking, SUP-ing, fishing, boating, and swimming,
*downhill, cross-country, and backcountry skiing and tours, as well as snowshoeing,
*scenic drives
*things to do with kids
*music happenings and festivals
*special events and races, and
*our amazing cannabis (PLEASE NO SMOKING OF ANY KIND INSIDE THE CASCADE RETREAT!)

Ask us when you book and we can send you the info in advance!

Perfect Little Spot

My family and I just returned from our quick visit to Bend. The home is cute, clean, and perfect for what we needed. We met the hosts as we were arriving and they were very friendly. Overall, the stay was great and we’d definitely come back. We especially appreciated the book about local spots to visit and the complementary beverages in the fridge.

Great spot close to everything!

We were using this spot as a quick stopover on a road trip, it's in a great location, everything we wanted to do in Bend was within 10 minutes or so. Beds were very comfortable and we had no problems with check in/out. ***Note that there's no dishwasher and you'll need to do your own chores before leaving*** otherwise would totally stay again. We especially LOVED the binder full of local things to do with thoughtful notes!

Everything you need

This property is an addition to the owners dwelling. There is street parking, there are extensive recommendations of local things to eat/see/do, it is about a block walk to the river strollway. Its very clean, we loved the 2 kings for 2 couples, and it's ideal for some one skiing, or engaged in an activity that only need a place to crash, sleep and eat breakfast.

Weaving in Bend

2 of us attended the Association of Northwest Weaving Guild Conference at the Riverbend Convention Center. Our friends who stayed in the hotel were jealous of the great place we found! Hosts were friendly and helpful, location was a 5 minute drive from our meetings. We had plenty of room for our weaving looms and spinning wheels, and a delightful porch to enjoy the evenings and the resident birds. The rooms were very nicely stocked and maintained. Wifi was great, kitchen supplies great, nice size fridge and ample storage.

Owners are very nice.

It is a very small place with no laundry, cooking area or A/C. The owners were very nice, but the week was very hot and the portable AC barely made a dent. The one person staying with me moved into a hotel to cool off and I slept on the daybed with the portable A/C pointed directly at me. If you just need a place to rest your head and it isn’t a hot week, you will be fine. The neighborhood feels safe and it is close to downtown.
