Great Location to use as home base!

This house was perfect for our stay in Bend. My husband & I were in Bend for a week with our 2 small dogs. The location was perfect - close to downtown Drake Park, restaurants, stores, etc. Bend has tons of dog friendly bars and food options too. The fenced backyard was great! The home had everything we needed to be comfortable and made a great home base. Neighborhood is quiet and safe. Very comfortable and easy.

Belle Millhouse

Our stay couldn't have been better. The Belle Millhouse was exceptionally clean, within walking distance to the entire westside of Bend, very comfortable for the two of us and we were visited by 2 very large bucks that took a short siesta one afternoon. Colleen was communicative and available. We highly recommend!

Cute bungalow in an up and coming vacation rental neighb

The house is cute, a reflection of many older smaller homes in the Millpond area. It’s a shame the old hardwood floors aren’t visible since most of the floor space is covered with big and bulky rugs. Please remove all the rugs, and let the old wood floors show their beauty. The furniture is oversized for the small rooms, an easy fix with appropriate furnishings. The newly restored kitchen and Jack and Jill bathroom are nicely done, cute and cozy. Bathroom, like the bedrooms and living room need some space by removing a few items, or replacing with more size specific pieces. Most furniture has that “ hand me down/ leftovers “ feel and look. If you are a tv/video buff the one and only tv in the living room is small, wasn’t a concern for me, but if you like to watch a bigger screen, you will be disappointed. However it’s Bend which is all about being outdoors.

Happy to recommend the Historic Belle Millhouse as a great place for a couple/small family to stay in Bend. Great location to walk to many of the popular places in town, including the Hayden Homes Amphitheater, the parks and shops in downtown and the box factory and other new areas in the old mill district. The house is comfortable, and has been updated, while maintaining that classic old Bend feel. Will look for this place again when we come back to visit. Thanks Colleen!

Delightful and close to town.

This is a very sweet and comfortable bungalow, with two bedrooms (queen bed in one, single with trundle in the other) connected by the bathroom. The kitchen is bright and very well-equipped. And we were pleasantly surprised to find a washer and dryer, making our trip easier to manage.The neighborhood is very quiet. It was a ten-minute walk to the excellent McMenamin pub. The banks of the nearby Deschutes River are chockablock with parks and walkways. Our stay was in early May, when the weather was pleasant, if sometimes a tad cool. It all encouraged pleasant walking.We will very definitely hope to stay here during our next visit to Bend.
