Hillside Haven: Tranquil NW Studio Near the River

Wake up refreshed in this bright, elegant studio sanctuary overlooking rocky hillside and grassy meadow in a historic friendly neighborhood. Comfy king bed, private entrance, kitchenette, private bath & cozy workspace. Walk to beautiful First Street Rapids Park footbridge (less than 1 min) & Downtown along the Deschutes River Trail passing several parks in 12 minutes. 55" TV with Amazon Fire, ethernet. This is a unique space has charm along with an ideal location. ♥︎

The calm, parklike setting makes it hard to believe you are so close to the conveniences of town. Relaxing is inevitable in this private sanctuary where all your needs are met. Please note there is a shared wall with our primary home so some family noise is inevitable when we are home. If you are looking for total silence, you may want to consider a different option.

The private entrance to the right side of the home allows for coming and going at any hours. The covered walkway to the door has a table and chairs to enjoy the morning side, or afternoon shade overlooking an empty lot with chickens, trees and open meadow. You'll have access to a kitchenette (with sink, microwave, Keurig machine, ample counter space, picnic supplies, etc.), and a private bathroom (including bathtub).

We are generally available to help you out with anything, since we live on the property as well but wish to respect your privacy.

This is a special location: Old Bend but not vacation homes all around. You're in a real neighborhood that is smack dab in the middle of Bend. Incredibly convenient with access to highway 97, downtown and the Deschutes River. Our neighborhood has been described as, "The last of the Mohicans" of Bend. There are multi-million dollar houses two houses down, as well as homes that haven't changed since they were built in the 20's. Being 200 yards from the Deschutes River and bordering downtown, the area has seen an explosion in property values and, as such, is enjoying significant upgrades. The First Street Rapids Park has a variety of picnic areas, river access, and one of most northerly footbridges across the river, making it a popular spot for walkers, bikers, kayakers/floaters, and anglers. Please note that we are the only vacation rental on our street -- please respect our neighbors!

Bend is certainly not known for it's public transportation, but fortunately there is ample street parking due to a vacant lot next to our home. There is also parking in front of our home.

Please note that because the room is attached to our main home and we do share a wall, there are some normal household noises that will come into the room.
NO PARTIES. This is a quiet neighborhood and we live next-door. We are happy to share our space and are not unreasonable at all in regards to noise, but amplified music, late night loud voices, slamming doors, etc. are not allowed. We have had 300+ stays without issue, but we like to be transparent about the fact that this is not a suitable location if you are looking for a wild night. Also, please note this is listed as a 'townhouse' as there is a shared wall. While we did go through renovations to reduce sound transmission, there is some amount of noise that does make it into the studio (muted footsteps being the most common). It has not been an issue but we do want to point it out.

Please turn the fireplace down several degrees before you leave. The furnace may be used if needed, but we do ask you to use the fireplace if possible.

Please remove your shoes before going onto the carpeted areas when possible.
