*****New listing with Bluebird Day*****
Welcome to Crater Retreat!
Crater Retreat is light and bright modern home tucked backed in a quiet corner of the historic district of downtown. You will have the best of everything at your fingertips! Walk everywhere in just a few minutes. Mirror Pond, Deschutes River and Old Mill are all close.
This home has two bedrooms with king beds and a den that also has a king bed. Please do remember that this sweet home only has one bathroom. If you can handle that, you will absolutely love this location. Fully equipped kitchen and dining space for 6. Outside you will find a patio with a BBQ and seating for 6. The patio is situated on a corner lot, perfect for relaxing and watching all your neighbors walk by. You will have two secured spots right in your own private paved driveway and a locking shed for your gear. This home will make an exceptional base for all of your adventures.
Mt Bachelor Ski Resort and the Cascade Lakes are just a short drive away and are the perfect places to explore in any season. Biking trails in the warmer seasons and skiing or snowboarding option in the winter.
Incredibly clean, very comfy bed(s) (we only used one lol) and love that they’re king size, very well stocked kitchen, owners were so nice and communicative, and a seriously perfect location for walkability. Lots of seating at table and bar, but, the *only* thing I’d give future renters a note about is that the living room furniture really only allows 3 people to “lounge” comfortably (one person on chair, two people lay or recline on the sofa). Four can very comfortably sit on the sofa, but might not be the easiest to “lounge” and watch a movie, for example. For the two of us, every single thing was A+ ? Thank you!!!
Great location, walking distance to shops and restaurants. Was very clean and had a well equipped kitchen as we made breakfast everyday. Loved that the rooms all had king size beds and even though there is only one bathroom, it wasn’t a drawback.
We enjoyed everything about our stay at Big Lava. The host was very communicative and easily reachable via text. We loved the location as it was very close to some good restaurants and bars. Highly recommend this property!
We had a great time staying at Big Lava! Our kids loved walking to the candy store. We loved being able to walk to so many fun places. The house was just the right size for our family and had everything that we needed. Great communication with the hosts. We would definitely recommend staying herald would stay here again if we get the opportunity to get back to Bend!
I've been to Bend a dozen times and this is THE BEST place I've ever stayed! So chic, so clean, so comfy... amazing location... I'll be back to this rental again and again.
Great location but needs more than one air conditioner bedrooms, get pretty hot with the doors closed.
This property is very well located near the “Old Bend” neighborhood. I loved being able to walk into town for coffee or to shop or eat at one of the many nearby restaurants. The house was extremely clean and well cared for. The kitchen was well stocked. The one bathroom was small but fine for our family. Having a parking spot was super convenient. Overall, we loved our stay!
The place was just as advertised. Well equipped with what looked like new everything. We enjoyed short drives to Smith Rock and the Newberry Volcanic National Monument, and short walks to places like the broom closet speakeasy at a nearby hotel.
We loved this little slice of Bend . It was clean, comfortable and had all the amenities for an enjoyable stay. Would definitely stay again!
Perfect size for 3 guys on a ski trip. Everybody had their own bedroom which was nice. Everything was very clean and check out was the best. Just run the diswasher!
Our family loved this place. The location can’t be beat. Each of the three bedrooms were great for what our family needed. For some groups, the one bathroom situation might be more of a challenge but was just fine for us. Would definitely stay at this place again with my family.
The house was great, had everything we needed and was with in walking distance of everything! Definitely will return!
We stayed in this house for over a week in the summer with our three young kids. The house is very efficient and comfortable. The kitchen is well-stocked with everything you need to cook meals. The beds are comfortable and there are adequate towels for the bathroom. The management company did a great job communicating with us before our stay and during our stay as we worked out some A/C issues. The location is walking distance to downtown, Drake Park, the grocery store, and a handful of restaurants outside of downtown.
The home is situated perfectly between the Downtown and Old Mill, which allows you to walk to everything.
I’ve stayed here twice and I’ll be coming back. Great location, check in was easy and nice people running it.
Big Lava was exactly as described in the listing. There are 3 king bedrooms all about the same size. One is listed as a den since it has no closet. The other 2 have small closets. The kitchen was stocked with just enough pans to cook breakfasts. There are no large pans if you are cooking for a crowd. The kitchen and bath must have been designed for a very tall person, as even at 5' 10 the upper cabinets are hard to reach. The dishwasher is mounted so that it tilts forward, so the bottom tray will slide to the floor if much is in there. It needs to be adjusted slightly. The house is in a great location-- walkable to everything downtown. It has great light and lots of windows. Lots of people walking by, so the shades have to be drawn for any privacy. The house itself is beautiful. Only one concern: there is just 1 split to heat/cool the whole house. It was fine for us (we were just 1 couple) but I'm imagining if you are using more than 1 bedroom and need to close the door at night-- you won't have any heat or cooling. This wasn't a problem for us, but I can imagine this will come up for some people especially in the winter. Overall we were really pleased with our stay and would highly recommend.
The Big Lava house is a nice place to stay in an AMAZING location. All of downtown is walking distance. McMennimins is a 1.5 minute walk. Drake Park was 3 or 4 blocks, easily done in rain or a surprise winter snow storm. Driving access to the High Desert Museum and all the hiking around was super simple. Totally recommend as a place to stay while you explore Bend!
