Quiet neighborhood and easy walk to Riverbend park

Quirky house on a hillside (lots of steps and a steep driveway) that felt comfortable. Love the storage for bikes and the easy access to the park.

Fun House

We were in Bend for a long weekend during a stretch of markedly hot weather. Victoria and her staff made sure we remained comfortable so we could enjoy several days of lounging on the river, bike rides, hikes and beers on the river's edge

Great house, great location

We had a great stay at the Fun House. The location is convenient to easily access Bend, quickly get on the way to Mt Bachelor or to take a walk along the river. The property is spacious (we had six people and 2 dogs) and well stocked. Everything was exactly as we expected based on the listing. Garage access made it easy to load and unload for skiing. And, when we had questions about the property, it was easy and quick to get answers. We'll definitely give this property a look when we come back to Bend!

The house was exactly as advertised. Everything was clean and in perfect working order. Very close to downtown. The ping pong table was hit! We’ll stay again next time we’re in the area.

Convenient and room house near Old Mill District

An eclectic house walking distance from the river and Old Mill District. Plenty of room for bigger families. As mentioned lots of steps so perhaps not ideal for individuals with trouble on stairs. The location is great.

Fun House is appropriately named!

Such a great stay - short walk from the river, and fun place to get a group of people together for the weekend. We enjoyed the large kitchen and all of the balconies that made the stay a delight!

Great Location!

Fun place to get away with family and friends. Property is in a great location. Easy walk to river trail, Mill District and Reed Market Road. We enjoyed sitting on the deck at night with the gas firepit. Take note of the directions and turn into the driveway with the "Fun House" sign.

good location

This house is in a good location and its design was unique. However, there are three staircases to ascend and descend. The kitchen was poorly equipped, and the pots that were there were not clean. The floor on the top level creaked, which disturbed those on the middle level.
