At the park, you can catch a free Munch ‘n Music event on a postcard summer evening, or a year-round saunter along the river. Walk a couple of blocks to Bend’s premiere downtown shopping area home, home to many award-winning shops and dining experiences. For a downtown location, it doesn’t get any better than this. There are endless choices for dinner, shopping, people-watching, refreshing craft beers, or a cup of locally roasted coffee. Street festivals, art fairs, live music and Tower Theater events dot the calendar all year. In the summer, you will be first in line at the downtown farmer’s market. You are situated just a block from the Galveston Bridge overlooking the river. The vibrant and potentially boisterous Galveston corridor is home to a plethora of brew pubs, restaurants, food carts, and coffee shops. Bring your bikes and easily extend your touring experience through the historic neighborhoods to the Box Factory, Whitewater Park, and The Old Mill where you can spend the afternoon shopping, movie-going, trekking on numerous river trails, and wine tasting. When you return, lock the two-wheelers in our shed for safekeeping. From here, you have easy access to all outdoor activities. Mt. Bachelor and the Cascade Lakes Highway are just a short drive away. If you need to take a breather inside, settle into the love seat and enjoy the infra-red fireplace, HD SmartTV, BluRay, read a book, or enjoy what WiFi can offer. The bedroom is on the outside corner of the apartment and does not have any shared walls. The efficient kitchen is fully stocked with utensils for virtually anything you want to put on the menu. There is cold water filtration at the kitchen sink, so fill the flask before setting out in the morning. You also have the option of firing up the gas grill on the patio and enjoying your favorite homemade alfresco dinner, looking out at the park and river. The bathroom is tastefully done and provides a combo tub and shower. Keep in mind this is a multi-unit building. Each of the apartments in this wonderful fourplex home feels quite private but they do have some shared walls. Please be aware that some noise may travel between apartments and from the street, especially if doors and window are open.

A very efficient apartment close to all that Bend has to offer, including my son’s place! We’ve stayed in this complex before and loved it’s location. Was a bit fearful that the proximity to the road and Drake park would equal noisy at night, but things quiet down markedly after 9 pm. This is an older cottage , and as such, windows are a bit drafty on a cold night. Plenty of blankets and an electric fireplace and we were cozy. It was 17 degrees outside a couple of nights!! Bed is quite comfortable.

The location of the cottage by Drake Park in Bend is wonderful. The cottage is quaint and small and has just one parking space. Lots of road traffic throughout the day.
All of that is OK as long as you are not an adult over 5’11 inches in height. Their toilet is so low to the ground and small that it’s really useful for only small people.
The property manager was extremely helpful with our temperature control issues for the heater and air conditioner.

This property was perfect for our stay earlier in December. It was only a block from our son's house, walking distance to coffee, restaurants, and downtown. We were even lucky enough to watch the Christmas Parade from the front window. Beautiful home, super clean, and had everything we needed. This will be our "secret" place from now on when we come to visit family.

We enjoyed staying here! It’s a small place but it’s clean and has all you need. We appreciated the attention to details—- nice shampoo and soap. Soft Kleenex and TP and yummy whole coffee beans. We walked all over and loved it! A beautiful mile walk to the old mill. A pretty short walk to downtown. Loved Bend!

Loved this quaint, cozy cottage! Visited for a week & wish we could’ve stayed longer. Pictures are very true to listing. Located right across the street from Drake Park & Mirror Pond where you could feed the baby geese. Within walking distance of shops & breweries. There was traffic noise but it didn’t really bother us at all. Can’t wait to come back next year! 😊

The property description includes the phrase "peaceful retreat". While it is a very convenient location, it is not peaceful as it sits just a few feet from a busy road. I have no proof that I requested in comments but I customarily request a "quiet location away from traffic noise". The traffic noise and head lights were hard to ignore and made sleeping very challenging. Also the blow-up mattress on sofa sleeper was cold. Perhaps a "beefier" mattress pad would help? If I had noticed this feature, I would not have booked. Bottom line: cute, clean, convenient place but very noisy.

Was a nice place to stay. Was clean and had great amenities. The location was wonderful - across from Drake park and the Deschutes River and walking distance to town. The only slight drawback was traffic noise, which I got used to and can’t be helped!
The communication with property manager was very prompt!
