Love the Nest!

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful, clean, well-appointed, charming "nest" with us. We had a great time in Bend: MTN biking the trails at Phil's Trailhead, hiking the Tumalo Creek Trail to the Tumalo Falls, hiking/biking the Deschutes River Trail, and enjoying multiple breweries. Our dogs had fun, too!

Exploring Bend

Quick stay to check out downtown and then drive up to Mt Bachelor. Great morning runs on the Deschutes River Trail. Lovely shops. Great places to dine - whatever your pleasure. House was in perfect spot for our purposes. Walked everywhere.

absolutely perfect!

From initial booking to check out the host Steve was quick to reply and very nice! The rental home itself could not have been more perfect! The location was easy walk to 3 main areas with food/shops and the home itself was stocked with anything you could need. It was cute, clean and comfortable and loved spending time relaxing on the outdoor patio/deck. Will definitely recommend to friends and stay om a future visit. Thank you Steve!

Bend Getaway

Great location - easily walkable to most downtown destinations and the 2 bikes in garage, while sporting some character, will assist in getting just about everywhere else. The kitchen is well equipped, bedrooms are comfortable, and the back patio is lovely. Outstanding option in bend.

Cozy lair in downtown Bend

Wrens nest was very clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, plus walking distance or a short drive to restaurants. Although the house is small, the spaces have been maximized for utility and comfort. We loved having the house to come back to after each long day of hiking. Steve was easy to communicate with and instructions were clear. Highly recommend this rental to anyone visiting Bend or hiking at Newberry Crater or Smith Rock state park.

Fantastic!

Loved this space, location and host! All were so great!!! I highly recommend staying here if you want the walkability from the center of Bend. It’s an awesome city with so much to offer! Only took 30 min to get to mount bachelor, I was able to walk to all the breweries, lots of restaurants and even the mall. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat. The house is huge and the yard is awesome e for those bringing a pet. Thx for having us, I’ll be back for sure!

Successful 50th birthday trip

The property is well-kept quaint house in a historic neighborhood. Close to the river trail and plenty of restaurants and shops to spend an entire weekend and never get in a car (altho we did in order to explore the forest trails and lakes south of Bend). But when “home” we racked up the steps exploring town. The houses are fairly close together on that street so on Fri/Sat nights when the neighboring short term rental was filled we did have some rowdy or loud talking neighbors who woke us up. But no big deal and expected for where we were. There is also a train nearby but we only heard it once and not at night. Very clean property, small shady backyard perfect for taking a break for activity and enjoying the weather. The host was communicative and very nice to leave a birthday note and gift for my husband. Would definitely stay here again!
