Prime Location Near River, Downtown, Old Mill And All Your Favorite Breweries

Located within a 10 min walk to restaurants and shopping and within 200 ft. of the Deschutes river, the Larson house is a perfect place to stay.
This quaint 900 sq' 2 bedroom 1 bath home was built in 1919 in the mill heyday and was originally a boarding house owned and operated by Mrs. Larsen.
Around the corner from the new Miller Landing park, across the river from the Pirate park, and 10 min leisurely stroll along the river to the old mill and down town make it a great setting for families and couples alike. For the more adventurous, Phil's trail complex is a short Mt bike ride away and skiing, fishing, hiking and mountaineering is just a short 30 min drive up Century Drive.

Great location. Easy walking distance to downtown and to the amphitheater. Host was super responsive and easy to communicate with. This is an historic home - comfortable, not super modern, pictures feel mostly accurate to our experience.

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage in downtown Bend. It was very relaxing to walk everywhere from Jackson’s Corner am breakfast to floating the river and shopping at the Old Mill or down town. The home is cozy and was always a nice temperature after a hot day outside. This is our second summer staying in this cottage and hope to return in the future! Bill was great and replied to our questions right away, A perfect location too!

Awesome location and Great communication

The house is a on cool quiet little street right about 3 houses down from the river, 2 streets away from parks and the tuning rapids. Our flights were all changed due to the weather and the owner was extremely understanding and flexible! Our family had an incredible time in Bend and will be back again.

Convenient to everything. Took walks along the river with our dogs, and to the old mill dog park. Checked out many local eateries close by. The rental had everything we needed and the beds were comfortable. Will come to stay again!

Great location in Bend

Came down for a concert and to see family. We were able to walk everywhere including Downtown, the Amphitheater and the put in/take out for the River float. Our days started with walks on the River trail. The house had everything we needed and was super clean. Loved the history of the house that the owner shared. Would stay there again

Could use some love, keep looking. Yes, all the previous reviews about the convenient location and comfy beds are spot on but the house itself needs some help or a better level of expectation when booking. Home is not well maintained, faulty wiring (whole house flickered when turning off a bedroom light) and chipping paint. The refrigerator would not close properly so the “Door Open” alarm went off the entire time we were there. It took some dedicated finesse to get it to turn off. The single bathroom has the original claw foot tub. While very charming, climbing in and out and dealing with the curtain surround took some acrobatics. We have stayed at many River West homes and by far, this was the most disappointing one.

Very happy with our stay. Very close to town, walking distance to park and couple great brew pubs. Quiet. Only issue was the TV was complicated to figure out with all the remotes..... but didn't have much time or interest in watching TV.

Very happy with the place, exactly as advertised. It's an older property so don't expect everything to be brand new, but the location makes up for anything like that. An easy walk to the amphitheater and downtown area. Owner was perfect and even refunded as a night when we had to leave early because of a health issue with our dog...can't ask for better than that!
