The location is very central for Bend. Close to my favorite market...Newport Avenue Market. Home is cozy and comfortable. My three teenage boys loved it as they all got a bed and played games downstairs even in the cold.

This home is located in a great spot, close to local restaurants, grocery stores, and other entertainment. A short walk will take you across the Deschutes into downtown Bend. Nice amenties and floor plan, with ample outdoor deck space and a nice sized back yard. A great find for the price!

We really enjoyed our stay at this house in Bend. It was close to the park and close to downtown shops and restaurants but in a very quiet neighborhood. We also appreciated that it was easy to get to Century Drive and on our way up to Mt Bachelor. The house has been extensively updated and the renovations were very tastefully done. The house was nice without being fussy. The furniture was comfortable and great for us to hang out after skiing. Good job. We would definately rent this house again.

We felt right at home in this rental. We settled in quickly - large dining table made a great for a workspace for the two of us, kitchen with everything you could possibly need, very easy to use laundry set, and quiet, peaceful and comfortable bedroom. We really enjoyed the clean yet homey design of the home, the owners clearly put some thought and effort into the interior design and have good sense of style (not always the case with VRBOs :) ) The master bedroom is set off to the back of the home, so it was easy for one person to sleep there while the other was up and about in the living room and kitchen. The porch was very inviting, and the sliding door to the porch lets in alot of light to the living room. The location is in a nice residential neighborhood, a couple short blocks away from a few cute restaurants, a great coffee shop and a grocery store. Downtown is a longer walk or easy drive (had no problem parking), but there are alot of local restaurants, shops etc on this side of the river too. Had no problems getting in touch with Christopher to setup our rental, and didn't encounter any problems during our stay. Would definitely stay again or recommend to a friend.

My family of 6 stayed here for 4th of July weekend. Great location-Great time -We walked to park/downtown/grocery store. Our 4 kids range from 11-19 and this place worked out perfect for both the kids and adults. Master bedroom was comfortable - used desk for work. Boys liked having their own bed, girls didn't mind sharing a queen. Kids/Dad liked the wifi, game room/TV/video games in the basement and nice TV in house. Kitchen had everything we needed and we did cook. Family room / dining area fit us all very comfortably and the back porch/backyard was perfect for just hanging out between outings in Bend. Beds comfortable - house is very clean and had everything we needed. Other than bathrooms being a bit on the small side this place is perfect and exactly what we were looking for. I would make a point to stay here again when we come back to Bend. Good fit for two couples + two singles OR a family of up to 6 OR Family of 4 plus 2 (grandparents - friends). For the price - even is you only have 2-4 in your party and you want a house (vs condo/hotel) this place is a great find if you want to be near Drake Park/Downtown/Central Bend.

If you are looking for a Bend experience 'in the residential neighborhood' type of place to stay, super close to town and at a very reasonable rate, look no further than the RiverWalk Cottage. Loved the coffee shop, bike rental store, great restaurant (Kebaba's), footbridge to town, all within a few short walkable blocks away. VERY complete kitchen with supplies, laundry room, outdoor deck, card games, books, foosball table---Really, you don't have to bring anything but clothes & toothbrush!

Thank you so much for opening up your charming home to us! It was perfect for our family and the location couldn't have been better. The rooms were spotless and we had everything we needed. I wish we could have stayed longer.

The house is in a great location within easy walking distance to the Park and downtown and we enjoyed the munch and music sessions in the park and floating down the river. Overall the house was extremely well equipped, in great condition, and it was clear that time and attention is paid to ensure that any cooking supplies left in the kitchen, by previous guests, are all within date and that there are ample supplies of soap powder etc. for the washer/dryer. The house was easily large enough to accomodate our family of four and we quickly settled in. Most of the time, when we were at the house, we spent in the back garden and made great use of the bbq and had all of our meals outside. The kids enjoyed the "games" in the basement and we all made use of the wireless. The owner was extremely responsive to our many questions and the arrival and departure instructions were clear and easy to follow. The house also has loads of brochures with information on the area. I would highly recommend staying here if you plan to visit Bend.

This house is in a very convenient location. We easily walked to the river park and downtown. Access to mountains west of town was great also. The house is in a nice quiet neighborhood and was in very good condition. It was also well supplied which made it feel like home; cooking utensils, washer/dryer.
