Bring your bikes! From here, you can easily pedal through Bend’s historic neighborhoods, cross over to the Box Factory, cruise by Whitewater Park, or explore The Old Mill District—where you can shop, catch a movie, or sip wine along the river. And when you return, store your bikes safely in our shed for peace of mind.

This place was perfect for our stay in Bend. The location is close to absolutely everything. It is also across the street from Drake Park. A lovely park with geese, ducks, dog walkers, paddle boarding and walking trails. The condo itself has a lovely courtyard and is well appointed with everything you need for a lovely stay. We would absolutely stay here again.

A Perfect Long Weekend Stay!
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.
