The Ultimate Sweet Spot Location
Welcome to a piece of Bend's history. This masterfully restored 1910s logger cottage offers a rare opportunity to stay in the most walkable pocket of the city. Known by locals as the Sweet Spot, our home sits exactly where the vibrant culture of Downtown meets the upscale shopping and dining of the Old Mill District.

Inside, you’ll find a perfectly curated 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom layout that balances historic charm with modern convenience. This home is fully pet-friendly, featuring a large, fully fenced yard so your furry companions can enjoy the Bend sunshine safely.

Waterfront Adventure & Outdoor Ease
Forget the car and the parking fees. You are just a 1/2 block from the famous Bend Surf Park and the brand-new Deschutes River access system. This state-of-the-art launch point makes it effortless to get your kayaks, paddleboards, or tubes into the water. After your float, enjoy a scenic stroll back home via the Bend River Trail, which leads directly into the iconic Drake Park.

Family & Group Friendly
We are situated just steps away from the newly renovated Columbia Park. Families will love the modern play structures and expansive green space for the kids. The cottage itself is designed for seamless living with a fully equipped kitchen for home-cooked meals and full laundry facilities for those long stays.

    Host was great. House is super cute, clean & cozy. Fenced yard was great for our border collie and the location was perfect! Fantastic neighborhood, walkable to downtown & Old Mill, centrally located for all of our favorite spots!

    Overall the place was fine. The location was good. The house was somewhat run down.It was all fine, though I would not highly recommend it. The volume control on TV was stuck. It would have been nice had there been actual soap in the shower, the bedrooms are tiny. This is place you don’t have to worry about your kids or animals.With all that said it suited our purposes.

    Bend River Cottage is a charming cozy home in a great location. We parked the car and walked everywhere. The river walk is just a few steps away and there is so much delicious food available near the neighborhood. The yard is completely fenced in so our large and friendly pup was in heaven as the passers by stopped to scratch his ears. We would definitely stay here again!

    Such a perfect location and comfortable cottage for me and my husband. East walking distance (less than a mile) to a variety of great restaurants and the recreation on the Deschutes River.

    This is the perfect starting point for everything that is fun in Bend!! Only downsides are bedrooms are very small and A/Cs are window units that aren’t very effective. We ended up having to repair one that had come apart.

    A short visit during spring break with my college age sons. The owners were very responsive to my booking (within minutes) and gave us the property information well ahead of our arrival. The property was nicely located for walking to restaurants.

    This is a darling little cottage to stay in in a historic part of Bend. We stayed for 6 nights. It is perfect for 3-4 people. As it is small (640 sq. feet) I would not use it for more than 4 people as it would feel a little cramped. The cottage had all we needed. Lots of pots and pans, dishes, washing machine, dishwasher, coffee maker with coffee and grill (which we did not use). Our dog was welcomed which allowed us to bring our 9 year old lab who is very attached to us. I do not ski but my family does...so they took the car and I was able to walk everywhere with the dog. Everything I needed was a 10-15 minute walk. The old Mill district, downtown and the riverfront. There are great shops, restaurants, cafes etc. I walked along the river every day.The only item missing was bath soap. The bar provided was tiny and more of a hand soap bar. That was quickly rectified as the cleaning person showed up by accident and when I mentioned it, she came back with bath gel and soap just a little while later. The hosts could not have been more responsive and helpful. Its a good place to any time of year.
