Perfect escape
A fantastic weekend in Bend! It was an easy walk to the shops and restaurants. Drake Park is stunning and the riverwalk trail is amazing. It was easy to pop home if we needed something- it was a cozy stay. Thanks!

Great choice for a stay in Bend
Great location. Easy and short walk to downtown Bend.Comfortable living room furniture. Bed frame was a bit rickety but mattress was comfortable. Some road noice from the street in front of the complex but not too intrusive. Small parking area on side might be a bit tight for larger vehicles.Overall a wonderful stay and would not hesitate to book again.

October at Drake Cottage
We were very happy with our stay at Drake Cottage. Although on a fairly busy street, the proximity to Drake Park, the river trail and downtown made it worth it. We were able to walk and ride our bikes to these places with ease, and having access to the storage shed was essential when we weren’t on our bikes.

Cute and cozy but loud
This cottage was comfortable and cozy. However, the bedroom window faces a busy street and I could hear traffic easily. The first night they were paving/doing road work all night (would have been nice to know, I would have selected a different location as I was on a working trip.) The hot water is very slow to come in the bathroom sink. Parking was a nightmare - one night I had to park two block away, maybe there are more cottages than spaces. It was very clean and the furnishings were comfortable, and I really appreciated the iron and ironing board!

Super clean and very easy check-in/check-out. Great location with proximity to Drake Park. Due to the location, expect some level of car noise throughout the night, but it's a breeze to enjoy Old Bend while staying here. Overall a great place to stay.

Perfect Location
This was our first trip to Bend and this place was a great location for us. Many, many activities within walking distance, and we never had to drive to dinner. It is on a busy road, but we'll take that trade off in order to be close to things. It was clean and exactly as described, so 5 stars for us.

Short and sweet
My sister and I were both in love with this little house. The parking was a bit tricky as google wanted to take us to the front door but once we figured that out and got inside we were impressed. Right on the river, very wackable to shops and restaurants and of course breweries. The house was updated and clean would definitely love to stay again. Oh and the water pressure is amazing!

Great little bungalow, clean and comfortable, albeit it's location makes hanging outside a little noisier than desired. Pleasant walk to old Bend along the river. We didn't use the kitchen much, but it was well-stocked. Comfortable bed and nice linens. Check-in/out was a breeze. We would rent again.
