Description

The River Otter is a darling 1 bedroom bungalow available for 30 day stays and longer, steps away from the Deschutes River in walking distance to the Old Mill District, historic downtown, Hayden Homes Amphitheater, numerous breweries, the Bend Ale Trail, shops, restaurants, and so much more!

Directly behind the house is Bend's newest park, Miller's Landing: a riparian strip of riverfront with osprey nesting, walking trails, and excellent river access. A short meander through this park takes you directly to the Old Mill Shopping District and the Hayden Homes Amphitheater.

Only a few steps away is a charming footbridge that takes you over the river on an easy walk to Columbia Park and "Pirate Playground", a wonderland for kids. There is also River "put in" access just steps from the bungalow.

The River Otter features lots of windows, a fully equipped updated kitchen, and artistic touches that highlight the authentic Bend lifestyle. Relax on the deck or under the aspens in the quaint backyard, and cook out on the gas grill under the stars!

If you prefer to get out and explore, there are plenty of hiking and mountain bike trails just minutes from town in the Deschutes National Forest. The spectacular Cascade Mountains and many lakes are an easy 20 minute drive providing endless opportunities for outdoor adventures.

This home proudly features European style bedding with fresh, clean duvet covers and high thread count linens, a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and microwave, washer, dryer, wireless internet, and much more for you to discover!

We were here for an extended stay. Its a cozy home with all the amenities you could need. The location is the best part, steps away from the Deschutes river. We walked the river trail every morning. Definitely recommend staying here if youre looking for a spot in a prime location!

Accurately described. Great communication with owner(s). In a fantastic location thats close to everything we needed/wanted (grocery stores <5 min drive, multiple parks <5 min walk away, Breweries <10 min walk, and bike shops all around). Would definitely recommend to others.

We had a wonderful stay at the River Otter! The home is very welcoming and clean. The bed in the bedroom is very comfortable! Even the fold out couch was surprising comfortable to sleep on! The kitchen is well equipped as well and we found it easy to prepare meals while staying here. The yard was great for our dog. The house is in a great location that is walking distance to the river and parks for the dog. We will definitely be back.

Ive stayed in this home multiple times and I cant believe Ive never written a review. Ive stayed here in the summer, doors open, breeze coming through. All the flowers in the front & back yard, so nice to relax. This wonderful home is in walking (or biking) distance to the beautiful park along the river, to cute downtown with all its restaurants & bars. Great location. And in the winter, it is right off the main highway to go skiing! I love the open floorplan. Ive stayed here with a gaggle of my lady friends. Ive stayed here with couple friends & their children. Ive stayed here with just my hubby & I. It works for all types of groups. The kitchen & dining area & living area are all in one great room, so everyone can hang out and talk. Otherwise, there are a couple of cozy nooks & crannies for reading a book or watching a film. Would highly recommend this house for all types of groups and in all seasons. Cant wait to come back!

Had a great stay at the River Otter cottage. Perfectly located to explore all that downtown Bent has to offer, shopping, breweries and incredible walks by the River. We had our 2 dogs with us, I sometime think that they had an even better time than us! We will definitely be back!

The River Otter house was absolutely great... It was just as charming in real life as it appeared. The house was a great place to retreat to after a long day of work/meetings... quiet, comfortable, and in the perfect location for walks either along the river and Mirror Pond, or into town for food & drink (or both). I would love the chance to come back and hope to...

This small and fully equipped rental is ideally located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to bike paths, downtown and the river. The bed was very comfortable and we were pleased to find bikes that worked and floating tubes in the shed! The rental was spotless and Bluebird Day co. was responsive and flexible when we had to change our dates.

This was such a great place to stay in Bend! It worked out perfect for our family of four. So close to the river, Drake Park, downtown, and The Old Mill district. The bungalow had everything...it was so nice to have a washer and dryer! We look forward to visiting Bend again and we will definitely look at staying here again!

My wife and I had a great stay in this place. It is a duplex but that didnt matter to us. The location is perfect for walking to different areas and the neighborhood was quiet. We didnt feel like we needed anything more in the unit. It has a nice, private fenced back yard deck. The yard is very small but thats not a concern for us as and we enjoyed sitting out there. Ironically, we usually like to eat out a lot in Bend but we cooked nearly every meal and ate out on the deck this trip. Great trip and well definitly stay here again

My husband and I and our two dogs recently visited bend for a short work trip (for me) and a getaway for everyone else. We really enjoyed everything about our stay at the river otter, but specifically all of the little touches. Its very well maintained and clean, not to mention really cute. They didnt scrimp on the extras, from the all natural dish soap to the high end toiletries in the bathroom to the locally roasted coffee. Oh and dont forget the mattress, its memory foam and incredibly comfy. We were able to walk almost anywhere we wanted to go, including a handful of great breweries, boneyard being our favorite. Would definitely stay here again!

Our stay at the River Otter was cozy, clean and comfortable. The house is tucked away in between the Old Mill District and Downtown Bend. Perfect walking distance to lots of great options for food and fun, as well as getting out with our dog on the Deschutes River Trail. The bed is very comfortable. The bathroom has a nice shower. Albeit it compact, the house has everything a couple and dog could need for a three day getaway. Strong wifi at the home made staying connected easy. The Back Porch Coffee Roasters coffee was a nice amenity. Great communication with the host - easy to check-in and check-out.

My boyfriend and I took a roadtrip with our doggie, Philip, from the SF Bay Area up to Southern Oregon and over to Bend. We stayed in this adorable cottage for 2 nights at the end of our trip and couldnt have been more satisfied. Its part of a duplex at the end of a quiet residential street. Such a cozy, cute place....trendy decor, every amenity you can possibly need...there was shampoo, conditioner, lotion, bath soap, kleenex, coffee, creamers, washer & dryer & laundry detergent....the list goes on & on. There was a great notebook with tons of details on area activities and restaurants. We were so tired one evening, we didnt feel like going out & ordered some Thai delivery...was there within 10 mins!! Very comfy bed, nice towels, very toasty wall heaters, cute little backyard (although our doggie was really the only one who had much chance to enjoy it)...if were ever back in the Bend area, this is where well call home. Perfection!
