Good location

Nice little place to stay in Bend. Def built as a rental, it’s basic with a living room, kitchen and three bedrooms off the living room but it was exactly what we needed. Would recommend.

Cute house

We had soccer match for our son, and hotels don’t have enough beds . So happy to find your place to stay for the weekend. But I wish all rooms had tv. And extra blankets.

Great place

Great location, walking distance to shops and restaurants. Was very clean and had a well equipped kitchen as we made breakfast everyday. Loved that the rooms all had king size beds and even though there is only one bathroom, it wasn’t a drawback.

Great place in a great location!

Our family loved this place. The location can’t be beat. Each of the three bedrooms were great for what our family needed. For some groups, the one bathroom situation might be more of a challenge but was just fine for us. Would definitely stay at this place again with my family.

Perfect Spot

We visit the Bend area quite often in the summer and winter. This spot was perfect for the summer as it’s walking distance to anything you might need in town and the river. Good restaurants around there and breweries. My wife and I are avid runners and the Deschutes River trail is right there that winds you along the river for awesome scenery. House was well kept and the neighborhood is quiet which is great. Definitely will keep this spot on the list to come back to.

Great place in a fun location

The place was just as advertised. Well equipped with what looked like new everything. We enjoyed short drives to Smith Rock and the Newberry Volcanic National Monument, and short walks to places like the broom closet speakeasy at a nearby hotel.

Great location, easy walking distance from downtown Bend. The unit has a clean, modern feel. The beds were comfortable and the neighborhood was surprisingly quiet given its location. Keep in mind there is only one bathroom. We had a wonderful stay!

Fantastic location! Super house!

We had a great time staying at Big Lava! Our kids loved walking to the candy store. We loved being able to walk to so many fun places. The house was just the right size for our family and had everything that we needed. Great communication with the hosts.

House was in the perfect location! We were 3-4 minutes from everything! The only thing that I wish was that the heat worked a little more in the bedroom but I’m just a really cold person all the time. Nothing that would stop me from staying there again! Really cute house! :)
