Prime Location Near River, Downtown, Old Mill And All Your Favorite Breweries

Located within a 10 min walk to restaurants and shopping and within 200 ft. of the Deschutes river, the Larson house is a perfect place to stay.
This quaint 900 sq' 2 bedroom 1 bath home was built in 1919 in the mill heyday and was originally a boarding house owned and operated by Mrs. Larsen.
Around the corner from the new Miller Landing park, across the river from the Pirate park, and 10 min leisurely stroll along the river to the old mill and down town make it a great setting for families and couples alike. For the more adventurous, Phil's trail complex is a short Mt bike ride away and skiing, fishing, hiking and mountaineering is just a short 30 min drive up Century Drive.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cottage, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Wireless internet access (surcharge) keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a water park or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Cozy cottage with the perfect location.
The host Bill was great. He responded to my questions super quick. The cottage was perfect for my husband and our small dog. It was clean and stocked with everything you will need for your stay. The king size bed was so comfortable. The yard is fenced so it was perfect for our dog . The cottage is located right next to the river, so we enjoyed taking our dog down there in the morings and evenings for a walk. Definitely a place we would love to stay at again when we are back in town visiting our family. dog.

Great location in Bend
Came down for a concert and to see family. We were able to walk everywhere including Downtown, the Amphitheater and the put in/take out for the River float. Our days started with walks on the River trail. The house had everything we needed and was super clean. Loved the history of the house that the owner shared. Would stay there again

Awesome location and Great communication
The house is a on cool quiet little street right about 3 houses down from the river, 2 streets away from parks and the tuning rapids. Our flights were all changed due to the weather and the owner was extremely understanding and flexible! Our family had an incredible time in Bend and will be back again.

Wouldn't stay again
We appreciate the history to this old house. However, the house had the smell of old, damaged wood which is camouflaged by fumey things. Inside was clean. Location was good, neighborhood kinda ratty. The really negative for us was, they knew we were coming with our dog and the grass was so tall. The whole yard was awful.

Perfect location and house was great
I loved the location of this home. We walked everywhere. Every morning I took my dog for a walk and grabbed a coffee. We walked our kids to Columbia park, to old mill district, to 10 barrel. Everything is so close and convenient to get to. At first I was nervous about the size of the home and having one bathroom but it’s a good layout so I was able to make dinner every night and we all ate at the dining room table. We watched TV in the large living room and listened to music while doing some of the puzzles that are onsite. I love that they are dog friendly as we foster dogs and found ourself with a dog at the same time as our trip. Bill was so accommodating and responsive.

Great House for Some, Not Quite Right for Us
Our experience with this home was positive overall. The house is situated in a fantastic location and exudes a cool vibe. However, with teenage boys, we found the size a bit limiting and struggled with outdated technology and Wi-Fi connectivity. For families with different needs, this might not be an issue. We also noticed the absence of basic amenities like soaps and shampoos, though we understand these are minor details. As second homeowners who rent out our own place, we appreciate that preferences vary. In essence, this home is amazing but might be better suited for a different demographic.

A great get away
Bill the host was amazing and was very attentive to our needs. The house was homie and rustic with a cool history for the old mill district and suited our needs perfectly. The location was prime for visiting our family and friends who lived close by and the house had everything we needed for the perfect stay. Its location was close to a bunch of great restaurants and shops within walking distance and the river was a block away. The neighbors were kind the the neighborhood was quiet and safe. We had a wonderful time and will stay here again. It was perfect for the 2 of us and our Frenchies and was accomodating for our visits and dinners with our family and friends.

We enjoyed the location as it was central for us and easy access to the bike trails at Phils and the Welcome Centre. The accommodation is as described, beds were comfortable, large kitchen eating area and comfortable living room. Bathroom at first glance seems small but everything works fine and is clean. Owner responded immediately to a small issue we had.

Great place for Bend adventures
Very happy with the place, exactly as advertised. It's an older property so don't expect everything to be brand new, but the location makes up for anything like that. An easy walk to the amphitheater and downtown area. Owner was perfect and even refunded as a night when we had to leave early because of a health issue with our dog...can't ask for better than that!

Prime Bend Location
Located two houses of the Deschutes River midway between downtown Bend and the Old Mill shopping district this location was ideal for biking, walking and floating the river. The house is a historic home from the early 1900’s and although fully equipped and comfortable is eclectic. We have stayed here for five summers and have enjoyed every one.

We loved this home! The location could not be beat! We were walking distance to downtown Bend, the Breweries, and the old mill district! Everything is right there! We could wheel our kayak to the river or carry our paddleboards to river, so easy. Well stocked kitchen and very comfortable living room! Best place to stay in Bend!
