Anniversary Getaway

Stones Throw was delightful! Fully stocked with lots of towels and amenities. Will certainly keep this VRBO in mind for a summer visit when the hot tub and outside fun can be had. Location is excellent to downtown. My only question to the owners is why there are two remotes for the TV? We used one, but then could not make the other operate, but my husband did prevail, and we then we only used the one

Beautiful Neighborhood Retreat on the edge of Downtown

This charming home and surrounding neighborhood provided the perfect backdrop for our recent anniversary. The home was very well-appointed: from the bathroom to the laundry to the kitchen, we had everything we needed. And both outdoor spaces provided relaxing perches for us as well. Being on the edge of downtown made it an easy walk to enjoy shopping and several downtown restaurants. Diana was a great host who responded immediately to any questions during our stay.

Great location,Clean property, Quick owner response

Property was exactly as advertised. We enjoyed your hot tub in the evenings, Thank you for the quick response when we found the lock not to be working on the hot tub. We were finally able to get the lock open after numerous attempts and you promptly came out and replaced it the next day. We loved the fact that you had a top loading washer that was sparkling clean. We’ve stayed at numerous VRBO’s who have a front loaders which are always moldy and we do not use them. Location was fantastic walking distance to all the downtown shops and restaurants. We would definitely recommend this property and stay here again!

Great Christmas Stay

We really enjoyed our stay here for a long Christmas weekend. The house exceeded our expectations and was clean and well stocked with towels, soap, etc. It was the perfect size for a couple and our dog. The kitchen has everything you need to make a nice meal. The location is great. We were able to walk almost everywhere we wanted to go and it's close to a nice grocery store. We would love to come back and stay in the spring.

Extremely well sorted out cozy home. Everything you need to have a great time in Bend. Beautiful kitchen with very high end appliances and all accessories to cook a wonderful meal.
