Experience Bend’s vibrant, local community with Bluebird Day!

Welcome to the Drake Escape! Located in one of Bend’s most desirable neighborhoods. This Westside luxury home is just steps from Drake Park and Downtown Bend.

This 4 bedroom, 3 ½ bath home can sleep up to 8 guests and features upscale furnishings, a fully equipped gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances, sit down dining for 6, a breakfast bar, and a gas fireplace in the living room. Two car garage provides offstreet parking and storage for all your gear. Private outside back patio with fire pit for those great summer nights.

The key to a relaxing vacation is a good night’s sleep! The master bedroom upstairs features a king bed, a 65-inch smart TV, and a full private bath with a claw foot tub. The second bedroom downstairs has a king bed and is connected to the third bedroom downstairs with a queen bed by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. The fourth bedroom downstairs is furnished with a full bed and its

Amazing Stay in Bend!

Location alone is a reason to stay here. The house is in a beautiful neighborhood just off the river and walking distance to downtown. I would recommend this stay to anyone who wants to do it all in Bend from shopping, eating/drinking to exploring the outdoors.

Fantastic location!

Loved our stay at the drake escape! We took a family trip for a week and the location is fantastic! Basically downtown, but in a quiet neighborhood. We walked easily to all the downtown restaurants and took in all the sites. Sadly, there wasn't much snow, but also made it easier to drive/walk around :) will definitely be looking for this rental in the future!
