Bluebird Day - Riverside Cottage

My husband and I planned this trip to take our three daughters (21, 19 and 13) away during Christmas break. This was our first time in Bend and the house was perfect. The layout provided great get-together space but also private space for the kids to play games in the basement. The easy access to Drake Park was perfect for taking our dogs for a walk. There were many great places to walk for dinner or beverages. It was easy to get to the shuttle if the kids decided to head to Mt. Bachelor. I would certainly book again if we come with a group to Bend.

Four of us guys have been going on the annual guys trip for years, and we decided to head to Bend a few years ago. We have stayed at this place for 2 years in a row, and we are definitely going back in 2016. The important reasons why this house gets 5-Stars are: the place is within a walking distance from downtown so we dont have to drive after having a few beers. It has 2 bedrooms upstairs along with a basement bedroom that has 2 beds since we are all happily married to women. (There is also a "cove" with a bed in basement so you can have 5 people sleep comfortably.) The last but not the least, the bathroom fans work fine, which is essential to guys trips.

This location is perfect, an easy walk to downtown or across the bridge to a couple of fun bars/restaurants. Make sure to make your way to brother johns for drinks/dinner and the victorian cafe for breakfast and some crazy bloody marys! The house had two parking spots and was very clean. The room split was perfect and we filled the beds comfortably. The sleeping nook was such a cool little perk. Had we wanted to squish, we could have easily accommodated another couple people on the couches. We enjoyed the hot tub all three nights and spent a lot of time playing foosball and wii. They even have a stack of games to enjoy! We didnt cook, but the kitchen appeared well stocked and had everything we needed. The shed is packed with multiple bikes and even a razor scooter. We didnt look in there till the last day, but I can imagine what a time all 6 of us would have had riding bikes to the bars and back. Maybe its better we didnt find them ;-) The only thing the house didnt have that I wi

We had a great 2 night stay at the Riverside Cottage. We played numerous board games and are now seriously considering getting a foosball table for our own house! Its a lovely home in a great location. Thank you!!

Thanks for a wonderful time for our family gathering, the configuration of your home was perfect for our family of 6!

Weve had an absolutely fantastic time at the Riverside Cottage. From being able to walk downtown and being only a 1/2 hours drive to Mount Bachelor, it couldnt be better! We had a great time revisiting Bend. Love this place! Hope to be back!

What a great house! The beds are comfortable, bathrooms are spacious, kitchen is great to work in with all you need to make great meals. Location is perfect - close to town and to trails on foot or bikes.

We have loved our visit to Bend from Ohio, and we have appreciated this house so much! The location has been perfect and we have loved using the bikes. Thank you!
