About this property

Prime Location Near River, Downtown, Old Mill And All Your Favorite Breweries

Located within a 10 min walk to restaurants and shopping and within 200 ft. of the Deschutes river, the Larson house is a perfect place to stay.
This quaint 900 sq' 2 bedroom 1 bath home was built in 1919 in the mill heyday and was originally a boarding house owned and operated by Mrs. Larsen.
Around the corner from the new Miller Landing park, across the river from the Pirate park, and 10 min leisurely stroll along the river to the old mill and down town make it a great setting for families and couples alike. For the more adventurous, Phil's trail complex is a short Mt bike ride away and skiing, fishing, hiking and mountaineering is just a short 30 min drive up Century Drive.

Awesome location and Great communication

The house is a on cool quiet little street right about 3 houses down from the river, 2 streets away from parks and the tuning rapids. Our flights were all changed due to the weather and the owner was extremely understanding and flexible! Our family had an incredible time in Bend and will be back again.

Great location in Bend

Came down for a concert and to see family. We were able to walk everywhere including Downtown, the Amphitheater and the put in/take out for the River float. Our days started with walks on the River trail. The house had everything we needed and was super clean. Loved the history of the house that the owner shared. Would stay there again

Nice getaway

We enjoyed our stay very much. The kitchen is very modern and well equipped, the beds are comfortable, and the living room is large and comfortable. We very much enjoyed a park a couple of blocks away right next to the river. Great place to people watch and walk.

Cozy cottage with the perfect location.

The host Bill was great. He responded to my questions super quick. The cottage was perfect for my husband and our small dog. It was clean and stocked with everything you will need for your stay. The king size bed was so comfortable. The yard is fenced so it was perfect for our dog . The cottage is located right next to the river, so we enjoyed taking our dog down there in the morings and evenings for a walk. Definitely a place we would love to stay at again when we are back in town visiting our family. dog.

Wouldn't stay again

We appreciate the history to this old house. However, the house had the smell of old, damaged wood which is camouflaged by fumey things. Inside was clean. Location was good, neighborhood kinda ratty. The really negative for us was, they knew we were coming with our dog and the grass was so tall. The whole yard was awful.

Great place for Bend adventures

Very happy with the place, exactly as advertised. It's an older property so don't expect everything to be brand new, but the location makes up for anything like that. An easy walk to the amphitheater and downtown area. Owner was perfect and even refunded as a night when we had to leave early because of a health issue with our dog...can't ask for better than that!

Very happy with our stay. Very close to town, walking distance to park and couple great brew pubs. Quiet. Only issue was the TV was complicated to figure out with all the remotes..... but didn't have much time or interest in watching TV.

Prime Bend Location

Located two houses of the Deschutes River midway between downtown Bend and the Old Mill shopping district this location was ideal for biking, walking and floating the river. The house is a historic home from the early 1900’s and although fully equipped and comfortable is eclectic. We have stayed here for five summers and have enjoyed every one.

The location of the property is fantastic with easy parking and the ability to walk everywhere. The property is clean and perfect for a small family. The only pause on this house is the bathroom. which is small with an old tub converted to a shower that one needs to be careful getting in and out of.

A great get away

Bill the host was amazing and was very attentive to our needs. The house was homie and rustic with a cool history for the old mill district and suited our needs perfectly. The location was prime for visiting our family and friends who lived close by and the house had everything we needed for the perfect stay. Its location was close to a bunch of great restaurants and shops within walking distance and the river was a block away. The neighbors were kind the the neighborhood was quiet and safe. We had a wonderful time and will stay here again. It was perfect for the 2 of us and our Frenchies and was accomodating for our visits and dinners with our family and friends.

We enjoyed the location as it was central for us and easy access to the bike trails at Phils and the Welcome Centre. The accommodation is as described, beds were comfortable, large kitchen eating area and comfortable living room. Bathroom at first glance seems small but everything works fine and is clean. Owner responded immediately to a small issue we had.
