Neighborhood

This home is located in central Bend in a a modest working class neighborhood with unique homes spanning from the 1930's to modern builds. It has a friendly local vibe.

Guest Access

The entire home and property is available to the guest with the exception of one interior locked storage closet.

With attention to detail at every turn, the home features a cozy living room, colorful and fully stocked kitchen, sparkling bathroom and comfortable quiet bedroom. This home was built in 1930 by mill workers. We did our best to preserve the character of the house, while improving comfort and efficiency. It was fully renovated in 2021 and we are happy to see our guests love the place (the reviews say it all!). While not a large home, it is well designed and big enough for you to use as a quiet and central place to recharge during your Central Oregon adventures. One of our most popular amenities is the Welcome Binder, which has a lot more than "the usual" information on Wifi, temperature control etc. (but it has that, too!). We carefully update this binder frequently to keep it up to date with our hand-picked favorites: things to do, places to eat, hiking/biking/skiing etc. We hope you enjoy using that as much as we enjoy keeping it up to date. Lastly - the sauna: this is a handmade and very carefully constructed Finnish style sauna. This is not one of those cute infrared "wanna-be" saunas - it is the real deal. Lined with 100% Japanese Sugi cedar and boasting an 8,000 watt electric heater, you'll love the way you feel after a session!

Other Details to Note

There is an A-frame being built directly next-door (to the north, the "left side" as facing from the street) to the house. As of January, the majority of the exterior work is complete, including roofing and windows. They are currently in the process of siding. Most of our guests have not found it to be an issue, but if you re looking for guaranteed quiet during working hours, this is probably not a suitable listing. Please note that the second bed is a sofa-bed. It is a very high quality bed and we have slept on it quite comfortably ourselves, but it is "just a sofabed". High quality linens, blankets and pillows are provided. Trip insurance recommended if illness, weather or smoke may be an issue. Note that dogs are not allowed, including Emotional Support Animals, which are not recognized as service animals in the state of Oregon. If you are bringing a service animal, we would appreciate if you would describe what duties or work it has been trained to perform, and if it is required because of a disability.
