About this property

Riverfront Cottage -Near Drake Park, Walk to Town.

One bedroom with queen bed and a really comfortable queen hide-a-bed, right on the Deschutes River. You can walk one way to town (through Drake Park), and the other way also along the river to the Old Mill District.

You can watch the otters, beavers, eagles, osprey, mink, heron, geese, swans and ducks from the riverfront deck. There is another deck with a gas bbq right out the back door.

It is a short drive to Mt. Bachelor for world class skiing as well as the Cascade Lakes with amazing outdoor recreational opportunities.

Hiking, mountain climbing, road biking. You can even ride your mountain bike from your front door, and in only 3 miles be on the famous Phil's Trail, with 100's of miles of uncrowded single track.

Just right

Although the rental was more than we usually pay it was in line with rentals in the resort town of Bend. Having a private cozy cottage on the river with a full kitchen, clean bathroom and comfortable bed beats staying in a generic condo. Location was terrific and John responded to my questions even though he was out of the country. Thank you John!

Charming little river cottage

Clean, well-equipped and very comfortable. We brought our dog and the location is perfect for a dog -- there is a river trail and a huge river park just next door.

Perfect Retreat to the Mountains - especially for walkers

We loved the time that we spent at the cabin -- perfect in every way, in spite of the intermittent smoke from a nearby forest fire. Places like this are a city and state treasure.

Perfect location

This is a cute rustic home right on the Deschutes River. It was walking distance to everywhere. The kitchen as well equipped. The deck sitting river side was a perfect place to relax after a day of hiking. We would definitely consider staying here again!

What a perfect location to stay! Both on the beautiful river, and walking distance to the Amphitheater. The owner lives next door and was super nice. My only complaint is with VRBO screwing up my reservation.

Deschutes River Cabin

Lovely cabin in the heart of Bend. We LOVED the outdoor space and that we could jump in the river whenever we got hot. The cabin is an easy walk to Drake Park, downtown Bend, and the Old Mill District.

Helping with grandchildren

This was a perfect location for me close to walking trails. . Located on the river which is a plus. The house is very dated but with a few upgrades would be super cute. Interior furniture and floor rugs need updated.

About the host

Hosted by John

Host profile image
I am a semi-retired real estate investor who fell in love with Bend and can't find any place I would rather live. There is so much to do here if you like the outdoors, but the community feel is what really makes it special.

Why they chose this property

This was my vacation home in Bend before I decided I had to live here permanently. There are not many homes on the river in Bend, which makes it quite special. You can walk through Drake Park along Mirror Pond to downtown Bend in about ten minutes, and the other direction is the Old Mill District. I love this location and neighborhood so much that when I wanted a bigger home, I moved next door. It is rare to find a place that is so close to everything and because of the river still seems a bit wild.

What makes this property unique

It's really all about the river and the central location.
