The Drake West Bungalow was built in 1915 as one of the original homes for the lumber mill workers that populated the area during that time. It has been totally restored and remodeled with 'green' efficiency building in mind, but the house still perfectly reflects the classic charm of its era. This one bedroom bungalow is perfect for those wishing to be within a beautiful stroll to the park, river, downtown Bend, and the popular west side where you can enjoy everything from quaint bakeries to superb restaurants, unique galleries to seasonal festivals, bike and recreation equipment rental shops, and not to mention some of the greatest microbreweries in the country-- all right outside the front door. The Drake West Bungalow is the perfect place to have all of Bend right at your fingertips.

All towels, linens and bedding are included. We also leave guests a small amount of starter supplies including: toilet paper, paper towels, dish and laundry soaps, hand soaps, bath soap, shampoo, and coffee bar items mentioned above. We also provide blow dryers, iron and ironing board. Please plan accordingly to bring anything else you may wish to have with you on your trip.

Adorable Bungalow

Cute bungalow within walking distance to several great restaurants, and a lovely walk through Drake Park to Downtown Bend and more restaurants. It had everything you will need for 2 people. The kitchen was spacious and well stocked with cookware. We will stay there again next time we are in Bend.

Perfect location

We loved our stay at this property. The house is even better in person. It is well appointed and private. It is in a very charming neighborhood with tons of food and drink options just a block or two away. We really enjoyed walking along the river into town. I would definitely recommend!

Stay at the "Drake"!

My wife, dog and I very much enjoyed your lovely home. It was perfect for us, very clean and comfortable and everything that we needed for our trip. The location, fenced in yard, amenities and off street parking were excellent.It was very quiet and we slept well. We would like to come back in the fall and plan to stay at the "Drake"!

This was our first visit to Bend and it did not disappoint. The Drake West Bungalow is in a perfect location. Central to everything. We really enjoyed walking into town and exploring the areas around us. The place was everything we needed and more. Can't wait to go back.

Walking distance to everything!

Great little place to stay for a long weekend, perfect for a couple. House was well appointed, clean when we arrived. It is an older home with character, tub and shower are a bit funky, but just fine. Read through the check out instructions, you have to wash your towels and have them dried or drying prior to your departure, glad we read through that in advance.

Excellent Home

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This home is very nice and accommodated us as a couple and our two pups. Backyard is a highlight with a covered gazebo on the patio, nice flush grass, fully fenced, jacuzzi. House is perfect for a couple, nice kitchen, living room, and nice king size bed. Quiet neighborhood but two blocks to food truck lot, restaurants, two great breweries Needed to call owner/manager once for a simple question, and she picked right up on a Sunday. We'll be back.

Cute place!

Great location; quiet, yet walking distance to most everything you might need. The Bungalow was well appointed (only minor complaint was that there was only 1 decent wine glass, but since we're lovebirds we shared!) and very thoughtfully re-finished. Hot tub was a key decision maker for choosing this home, and it did not disappoint! Would be nice to have window coverings in the two side-yard facing windows, but another minor point. Overall, we loved it!

Cozy home in Bend

We so enjoyed our stay at the West Side Bungalow in Bend. Check-in was super easy. Erin was incredibly responsive. The house is in a great neighborhood -- walkable to great food, groceries, coffee, parks, and 1 block from the river. The house had everything we needed, was well-appointed, bed was super comfy and the sheets were soft. My only recommendation would be to add a couple ottomans to the chairs in the main sitting room, so when you are reading you can put your feet up. That said, we'd love to come back and visit for longer! Bend is a beautiful town and this was a cozy home away from home.

The Drake Bungalow

The house was amazing, just the right size for me and my small dog. We both loved the spacious back yard with tall safety fence and gazebo, did not use the hot tub but it did look inviting. I also appreciated the alley parking. The house is walking distance to everything and the neighborhood quiet and friendly. I went to Bend to visit my son who lives in Bend and works at Smith Rock leading climbs. I was able to get a personal tour of the park and it is a natural wonder. The house made it easy for us to visit each other and walk to many wonderful eateries like the food trucks and restaurants. Will seek out this property again in the future

Adorable home with an excellent location!

My husband and I and our 2 pets enjoyed our stay here! You will be hard-pressed to find a more walkable location! Super close to parks, (including Drake Park), downtown, a convenience store, the Lot (fabulous food carts, beer/cider/wine, & seats!), and a ton of great small businesses, pubs, & restaurants along Galveston. We enjoyed shopping at Sand Lily, eating at Dump City Dumplings, El Sancho, & the Victorian Cafe. We did plenty of walking around the beautiful neighborhood and took our dog to Harmon Park where she got to 'watch' the ducks and run around. If visiting during the winter, be sure to bring appropriate footwear as the walkway from the parking in the alley to the backdoor (which we used frequently) was very icy. Loved the spacious yard, though, for our pup! Erin was easily reachable by phone when we needed her. We would absolutely recommend this spot to visiting friends or family and all wishing to explore the Bend area.

About the host

Hosted by Erin Woods

Host profile image
My husband and I have been managing and renting vacation homes here in our hometown of Bend, Oregon for over 17 years with our business, Home Spun LLC, and we love what we do! All the vacation homes in our Home Spun LLC exclusive collection provide distinctive alternatives to traditional lodging in Central Oregon. Our places provide a one-of-a-kind experience by offering amazing downtown locations, top of the line amenities, and personal service. We are picky about which homes we represent. Each home has been handpicked so our guests can experience an inviting and unique vacation with privacy, scenic surroundings, recreational opportunities just moments away, and the amazing city of Bend at your feet.

Why they chose this property

All of the vacation homes we manage are located in the Galveston Avenue District or Historic Downtown Bend area. We love that our guests can park their car and explore all the best parts of our city on foot or by bike, getting a real chance to explore and fall in love with our sweet little city.

What makes this property unique

This house is over 100 years old and we love the historic features and feel of it, paired with modern amenities. My favorite hidden treasure: the little wire bunny rabbit that sits on the kitchen shelf to this day. It was fashioned out of old wire during a lunchbreak and hidden in the walls by the original builders of the home. It stayed there for 90 years prior to a drywall remodel when it was discovered with some old newspapers that had been used for insulation and an early 1900's bottle cap.
