Beautiful little cottage

We were just here for one night but loved the style, comfort and coziness of this cottage. We also liked the gorgeous neighborhood and park, and the convenience of being able to walk to downtown for restaurants and shopping. The hottub was being cleaned just before our check in, which was much appreciated! Laura was very easy to communicate with and responsive to our inquiries. We will definitely return and hope to stay longer next time. (tip..use the wifi password in the guestbook as it is more accurate than the handwritten one next to fireplace).

Cozy Cottage

Wonderful location, next to Drake Park and close to downtown. Very clean, kitchen well stocked and lots of towels provided. The courtyard patio was a wonderful place to enjoy happy hour on a warm fall afternoon. Looking forward to reserving for our next visit.

Perfect Bend Location

This place is adorable! The owner has stocked it with everything you could possibly need, comfortable beds and the use of garage is a plus. The location can't be beat, it's walkable to downtown, Old Mill District and Hayden Amphitheater. Five stars, hands down!

Lovely "cottage" in the heart of Bend

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cottage in the heart of Bend. The location was perfect for walking - to Drake Park, downtown to shops and restaurants, and across the river to brew pubs. Everything was clean and fresh and the decor was fun. The private patio area and garage was a bonus. Thanks!

A wonderful stay

We had a great time! The house was super cute, we loved the decor. The hot tub was great, and the outdoor space was very private, we enjoyed hanging out out there. We forgot we had access to the garage and second bathroom so we never used that. The location was PERFECT! Laura the host was very quick to respond. Would recommend!

This cabin was perfect. Everything from the layout to the finishes made the entire vibe excellent. You could ask for a better location if you’re wanting to be heart the heart of old bend. We walked everywhere. The property manager was lovely and answered texts immediately. Would recommend 10/10 and definitely stay here again.

Weekend Getaway

We stayed here with another couple and had the best time! The location is unmatched, by far the best we have had staying in Bend with walkability to downtown, Galveston or even home from a river float! The accommodations were easy to navigate and the cottage itself was done super tastefully. Only thing to be aware of is that there is one room, one true bathroom (other is in garage) and then the second room is a loft, but nonissue as long as you’re with close friends and family! Can’t wait to return.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Gibson

Host profile image
Love brought me to Bend in 1988. 25+ years later I am still in love (with my husband) as well as this remarkable town and surroundings. Originally from Pittsburgh, PA (Go Steelers!) I came west to go to school (UCLA) and made new roots in the Pacific Northwest. Work takes me frequently to LA where I work with kids with cleft lip and palates, creating smiles. Locally, I run a clinic where my patients volunteer in the community to help pay for their orthodontic treatment. Smile! Central Oregon is were you will find me when I am in town and not enjoying this area as I am sure you will.

Why they chose this property

Good fortune and fate found this property for me. The previous owner of this gem was headed off to the Caribbean. Having invested 40 years to restoring this historic property, we are so grateful he entrusted us with its stewardship. Listed in the National Historical Register, the main house served as the first maternity hospital in this region from 1919-1934. It was converted into apartments and the basement unit served as the dance studio where Tommy taught ballroom dance with his partner Barb for many years. Most ballroom dancers here in Central Oregon benefited from Tommy and Barb's love of dance and weekly lessons at the Elk's Club.

What makes this property unique

I fell in love with this property the moment I stepped inside. It had been restored with such care and attention to detail. I furnished it with all the things I would want in a home: comfortable beds, great pots and pans, big screen TV, and internet access for work and entertainment. Patio dining with a gas grill when you want to stay put for the evening. Enjoy the amazing night sky while keeping warm around the fire pit.
