About this house rental
Welcome to one of the most beloved and truly unique vacation rentals in Bend, Oregon — a luxury, pet-friendly cottage located right on the Deschutes River between the Old Mill and Downtown Bend. Offering unmatched river access, walkability, and amenities for all seasons, our home has been a guest favorite since 2010.
Whether you're here for summer paddleboarding, spring skiing, brewery hopping, or simply relaxing by the water with a glass of wine, you'll find everything you need (and more) for a perfect stay in Central Oregon.
Unbeatable Riverfront Location in the Heart of Bend
This is not your typical vacation rental. Our property sits directly on the Deschutes River, with French doors that open onto a large Trex deck and a fully fenced backyard that leads right to the water. From your backyard, you can:
Swim, float, kayak, or paddleboard (gear provided!)
Watch surfers ride the man-made surf wave just up the river
Launch your float and return via Bend's safe passage float route — one of the few homes where you can float round-trip right from your yard
Fish or birdwatch (osprey, eagles, ducks, and geese are frequent visitors)
Roast s’mores around the riverside fire pit with wood and a s’mores kit included
We’re one of the only vacation rentals in Bend that offers direct riverfront access and the ability to float to and from your own backyard.
Walk to Everything – No Car Needed!
Once you arrive, you may not need your car again. We’re perfectly situated between the Old Mill District and Downtown Bend, with Galveston Avenue just minutes away by foot. Walk to:
10 Barrel Brewing Co., Sunriver Brewing, El Sancho, BOSA, and Ariana’s
Local parks like Columbia Park and Miller’s Landing
Old Mill shops and restaurants like REI, Pastini, Anthony’s, Regal Cinemas, Ben & Jerry’s, and Lululemon
The Deschutes River Trail, outdoor concert venues, and art walks
With everything so close, many of our guests tell us they don’t drive once during their stay.

Summary of reviewsOutstanding riverfront cottage with incredible backyard amenities, well-equipped house, and welcoming hosts. Perfect location for outdoor activities and relaxation. Can't wait to return!
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
The cottage is fantastic! Stayed the week with adult children. Location is walkable to Mill District, downtown and floating destinations. Back yard is great, beds are comfy and kitchen is well stocked.Jackie is great host! We hope to be back soon.
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2025
We had a great trip (4 adults & 2 dogs)! The house was perfect for our group. 1 downer is that none of the bedroom/bathroom doors actually latch closed so we had my sister’s dogs waking us up in the morning by nudging our bedroom door open. The master is spacious but the 2nd bedroom was a bit small. The house was very clean which is always a major plus! Outside furniture cushions could be cleaner but hard to control so we expect that. The fenced yard was the main attraction though one dog got out through the neighbor’s temporary fence. Jackie is SUPER responsive and so nice. When there were a few issues she fixed them ASAP. We had a great stay!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
My long weekend stay was so lovely at the cottage. The location right on the river really cannot be beat. Pretty much everything is within walking distance and the cottage is located right along the river trail. It was so nice drinking coffee on the river, people watching and being able to hop right in and float the river from the cottage. There was ample seating outside and plenty of paddle boards, kayaks, tubes etc...provided. Jackie was extremely communicative and provided everything you could think of to make the stay wonderful (coffee, extra towels etc). I would love to come back! Jackie was very kind and thoughtful and you can tell from her communication that she really aims for guests to enjoy the space to its fullest. I really cannot think of anything that was lacking. This property truly was an amazing starting point to enjoy all that Bend has to offer! Thanks for everything!

Best location, everything in-house needed for a wonderful visit with family and friends. Jackie's place is an extension of her own home.
