About this property

Riverfront Lodge great setting, walk to downtown!

If you’re coming to Bend for a vacation, or business, why stay anywhere else! We will accommodate you even if it’s just you and a guest. This spectacular home is on the Deschutes River just North of downtown Bend on the mile long stretch of river just below Pioneer Park. This slow moving and breathtaking section of the Deschutes river is an Icon to those that live here and enjoyed by all that hike along her banks. The house has a private dock, kayaks and a canoe for your paddling enjoyment right off the back lawn.

The home has 6 bedrooms, 4 gas fireplaces, 5 full bathrooms, outdoor hot tub with river setting, indoor jetted tub with river view. There is also a steam shower in one of the upstairs baths. With 4 king sized beds, 2 double beds and 4 single beds, the home can sleep up to 14 comfortably. The gourmet kitchen is stocked with every utensil you could imagine, you won’t have to look twice to find what you need.

Walk minutes to downtown Bend or get on your bike and head to your favorite pub or restaurant. If you are here on business, you will be excited to know that the convention center is just a short distance away on the other side of the river, within 5 minutes walking distance. The Rivers Edge Golf course is also directly across the river and within minutes from the home. Take a 2 or 4 mile run around the river trail which loops from the home, through Rivers Edge golf course, up the western bank of the river and then back along the eastern banks of the river. If you’re a water enthusiast, get into one of the kayaks, or canoes and paddle up river to the first street rapids and back, you’re sure to see otters, swans and many ducks along the way. After you’re done exploring the outdoors, jump into the hot tub or just sit on the deck and look out at the spectacular view.

There are (7) TV’s, two with surround sound, DVD, VCR and stereo with built in speakers throughout. The kitchen has a commercial range with 4 burners, 1 griddle, 1 grille and 2 ovens, two dishwashers, a refrigerator freezer, microwave and convection oven along with a wine fridge in the island. The rec. room has a pool table, large deluxe feather cushion sectional for watching your favorite movies and a wet bar with sink and refrigerator. There is also a large gas BBQ on the upper deck right off the kitchen and dining room.

Your stay also includes the use of the 40’x30’ garage space which you can get 4 auto’s into and many bikes on the wall hooks if needed. (We supply several bikes for your use which are stored in the garage).
I can go on and on, but the place speaks for itself. Please, just take care of it, enjoy your stay, and come back to visit us again!

River Dream
The property is in an amazing location! House was large and well stocked. There were 9 people in our group, we were all amazed how quiet the house was. We never heard each other. Super large windows and doors enhanced the backyard view. Doug was super easy to work with and prompt to reply. Highly recommend this rental and hope to rent again sometime.

Great Family Getaway & Stay in Bend
The house was spacious and more than capable of accommodating our extended families’ need for individual spaces while providing plenty of relaxing common areas for the whole group. If anything, the grounds in the listing are under described! This house is situated in an incredible location, close to downtown Bend and all its amenities while itself being nestled away on the quiet banks of a bend in the Deschutes River. Wow! Strongly recommend and looking forward to our next stay already!

New Favorite Bend Spot
This house and location are incredible. A group of us stayed here for a ski weekend. We felt taken care of by Doug and his team and spoiled by all the amenities, the view, and the many bedrooms. This is one I'm putting on my favorites to see if it's ever available again when we go back to Bend.

Riverside Bliss
This is a great riverside property in Bend that can host a large family. We had a great time exploring Bend and Mt Bachelor, but it was always nice to come home to a large, useful kitchen and several places to hang out. Easy access to town while being a peaceful getaway.

Fall getaway
Home is large and comfortable. A great view of the river and quiet place to relax. The fall leaves were turning and it was a treat to sit on the deck around the fire pit in the evening. Close to shopping, restaurants and breweries.. The kitchen is stocked with anything you need with a large table for many to enjoy games! Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Definitely would recommend and stay again!

exceptional place to spend time with fam.
This is the third time we have rented this house/lodge for our family get together. It is perfect for my 5 young adult grandchildren. They love the river, the tubes, kayak canoe, and the bikes, so much for them to keep busy. Everything was just absolutely perfect, as usual. Shirley, Schultz and family

WONDERFUL!
Doug kindly let us drop off our suitcases early so we could hit Costco. His home is HUGE, beautiful, clean, and very well stocked with all you need to cook all your meals. My only disappointment was that my two grandsons couldn't swim right off the dock because of the mud--but that's nothing compared to all this home offers! Thanks, Doug! (Wish you weren't already full all of next summer!)

3rd time staying here - wonderful as always!
A beautiful house on a beautiful stretch of the Deschutes river! We had a smaller group this time, but a few years ago we had 16 people and it didn't feel crowded at all! The location is great - close to downtown, shopping, etc., and right off the main highway to all of Bend's outdoor attractions. The river is dammed just downstream from the house, making for a lovely lake area for paddle boarding, canoeing, or simply lazing in a tube. The property comes with lots of water equipment and bikes, so you don't need to bring your own. If you have a good-sized group of people looking for a comfortable place to stay, this place can't be beat!

About the host

Hosted by Doug Smith

Host profile image
Bend has been my home for over 30 years and my wife and I plan on staying here indefinitely. The climate here is perfect for all the outdoor activities we like to partake in such as bicycling, skiing, golfing and playing tennis. Having a peaceful home on the river has made raising our children a wonderful experience as they have enjoyed kayaking, fishing and swimming in the river for many years. We are happy that we built a home that will make such a fantastic vacation rental and I am sure you will enjoy it as much as we have.
