Description
The River Gem Bungalow is a bright and cheerful one bedroom treasure nestled in the heart of Bend's popular Westside with a location that can't be beat!
Right across the street from the Deschutes River, it is within walking distance of the Old Mill District, historic downtown, Hayden Homes Amphitheater, and numerous breweries.
Directly behind the house is Bend's newest park, Miller's Landing: a riparian strip of riverfront with nesting osprey, walking trails, and excellent river access.
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.
This natural-contemporary style home features high ceilings, lots of windows, a cozy loft and artistic touches that highlight the authentic Bend lifestyle. Relax on the deck or under the aspens in the big backyard, surrounded by mature trees and landscaping.
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!

This is such a cool and unique place to stay in bend. It is just steps from the river -- lots of opportunity to paddle board, kayak, etc. Downtown, old mill district are walking distance! It is nice and cozy.. Great place to spend with family. I cant wait to go back to Bend and stay with bluebird day rentals!

Thank you for the awesome vacation rental. We fell in love with Bend and will definately be coming back. The location of the River Gem Bungalow is great for beer lovers like us, as there are about six breweries within walking distance. The bungalow is next to a park and a second park is easily accessable by crossing the river. The neighborhood is lovely and easy to walk around. Not only is beer easily reachable by walking so is great food and downtown shopping.

We had a wonderful time at the River Gem. The house was close to everything! We didnt drive the whole time we were here. Great trails close by for running and biking. Too many good brew pubs as well. We enjoyed sitting in the backyard relaxing. We dont want our vacation to end. Already looking forward to our next trip to Bend.
