The property was very comfortable and clean. There were plenty of games and tvs in each room to keep everyone entertained. It was a great place for our vacation.
We have stayed at this home twice because our kids requested we go back! It has plenty of space for everyone and the pool table and games in the garage provide hours of entertainment.
Stayed here with a group of friends, and we enjoyed the space very much! The pool and hot tub, as well as big yard were very nice. Pretty good location too. Hosts were friendly and communicative which I appreciated. Thank you!

Beautiful House, great location
The house was beautiful and well appointed, centrally located. Hot tub is new and clean. Great place fro a group of friends or a larger family. Unfortunately, wifi password was not provided, and owners were away camping and unreachable.
The Ponderosa House checked all our boxes for a family visit to Bend. As parents of adult children who live away we look for spacious 3 bedroom accommodations. This house did not disappoint. It has plenty of room and available entertainment. We visited Bend for skiing and enjoyed the backyard hot tub, playing billiards, and darts. Finding the canal walking path at the end of the street was a wonderful bonus.
The house was just as listed. Aside from a few minor maintenance issues (refrigerator, kitchen cabinet door), everything was great. We really used and appreciated the hot tub, pool table, and game room...they provided hours of fun for our multi-generational family group. Minor request: more dishtowels would be handy!Communications with owners were quick and helpful and they were flexible about giving us a late checkout. We would stay here again.
This house is perfectly set up for families. With three bedrooms (2 on the main floor), extra sleeping areas, 3 full bathrooms and lots of space it’s fabulous! The proximity to the Old Mill and Hayden Homes Amphitheater was perfect (less than a mile). It has a ton of games for adults and kids (and I mean the cool games like pool, ping pong, one shot basketball and more). The welcoming hot tub wraps up house and its awesomeness.
House was roomy, mostly clean with tons of fun games for adults and kids alike. Home is older than the pictures imply so there are some bumps and bruises here and there. Master suite upstairs lacks a door so be prepared for that if you want privacy and wishes it had a fireplace for those chilly bend nights! The lighting in some of the rooms is more on the fluorescent side/LED so it lacked a warm, cozy feel you want in the evenings.
Owners were friendly, welcoming and super responsive. House had ample supplies any everything you need to cook meals.
Location is good, about a city block from walking/biking trails and super close to the mill district.
Overall I would rate this property a solid 4-4.5. A few aesthetic upgrades and a door on the master bedroom would bump it closer to a 5.
The property is easily accessed, very roomy and a great place to just hang out at the end of the day: hot tub, pool table, privacy in the back yard. My group had a blast and I would recommend this place to anyone staying in bend
Great place for our group of 6 (3 couples) to stay for a week do skiing at Bachelor! Just a 35 min drive to the mountain, and centrally located in town for restaurants. The backyard was perfect for the doggies and the hot tub was great for after a long day on the slopes.
My family & I had a great time at the Old Mill District house. The layout was awesome for our toddlers to run around & the pool table room was fun during the evening. We had to drive to get to Old Mill District & Downtown Bend but with toddlers in tow, we didn’t mind.
Overall we had a great time & would stay there again.
This house was in a great location and perfect for our group of 6 with dogs. House has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms so everyone had their own spaces. The spa was hot and clean and the bbq worked great. The pool table was fun, however has seen its better days. My only complaint is the kitchen needed some deep cleaning and there was dog hair all over the furniture which got on our clothes.
