Convenient and comfortable property

Drake Cottage is well located for Old Bend, downtown, and the Old Mill District. Drake Park is just steps away. The apartment is well-equipped, clean, and comfortable. The only disappointment was the traffic noise that was more than expected for a residential neighborhood.

Fantastic location

This place was perfect for our stay in Bend. The location is close to absolutely everything. It is also across the street from Drake Park. A lovely park with geese, ducks, dog walkers, paddle boarding and walking trails. The condo itself has a lovely courtyard and is well appointed with everything you need for a lovely stay. We would absolutely stay here again.

Great Stay in Bend

Fantastic little VRBO in a great location. Everything as described. Perfect for my wife & I on our 28th anniversary trip. Couple minor cleaning issues. Noticed it was pretty dirty under the bed when trying to adjust the power strips to make plugging in devices easier at the nightstands, and the vent for the bathroom fan was filthy.
