We loved this location! So cozy and great for walking the neighborhoods, shopping and eating. We had many delicious and memorable meals! So nice that it is dog friendly too!
The house is very well appointed and sparkling clean. The location is great if you want to walk to downtown Bend and centrally located to drive anywhere. Will definitely stay here again.
The property was super cute and just a few minutes walk from the river trail, and a ton of shops, cafes and restaurants. The house was clean and cute, the perfect get away for my spouse and I. We would stay here again!
Perfect location. Amazing little home. Nice hot tub. Easy home instructions and efficient communication. Hope to stay here again. One of the best VRBO experiences we have ever had.
We loved our time spent here. It was close to all the downtown restaurants and shops. The hot tub was relaxing and clean. The size of the house was just right for the two of us and we appreciated the well stocked kitchen and cozy bed. We will definitely stay again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our mini get away in Bend, even after an ice storm. Loved the decor and quaint little home. Location was amazing too! We definitely will be back!
We had such a lovely time in Bend. The listing is exactly how it sounds, perfect! We loved the proximity to downtown Bend, giving us an opportunity to walk about and take in the charm of the city. The accommodations were wonderful.
Diana's place was a great spot for exploring Bend. Its practically right in downtown. The place is well equipped, clean and comfortable. Will definitely stay here again.
Great location. Great amenities. Everything in the house was very well thought out for a vacation rental. Spa and outside grill were awesome! Would love to stay here again and would suggest without any hesitation.
We were very comfortable and really enjoyed the space. Walking distance to downtown and beautiful Drake Park. Highly recommend a Big-O bagel breakfast in the park - wonderful. Great community garden across the street that had some unique and friendly visitors, perfect for us!
Stayed a couple nights during a ski trip. House is nice and in a convenient location.
Well appointed and clean.
Two person hot tub was a nice bonus after skiing.
Thanks!
We really enjoyed our stay here for a long Christmas weekend. The house exceeded our expectations and was clean and well stocked with towels, soap, etc. It was the perfect size for a couple and our dog. The kitchen has everything you need to make a nice meal. The location is great. We were able to walk almost everywhere we wanted to go and it's close to a nice grocery store. We would love to come back and stay in the spring.
Beautiful Neighborhood Retreat on the edge of Downtown
This charming home and surrounding neighborhood provided the perfect backdrop for our recent anniversary.
The home was very well-appointed: from the bathroom to the laundry to the kitchen, we had everything we needed. And both outdoor spaces provided relaxing perches for us as well.
Being on the edge of downtown made it an easy walk to enjoy shopping and several downtown restaurants.
Diana was a great host who responded immediately to any questions during our stay.
Want a place that is right in the heart of downtown? This is it! Walk the shops, restaurants, river, you name it. Everything is right at your door. Dog friendly and super clean. Great for 2 adults. It even has a hot tub! Check in was super slick and easy as well as great communication from the host. We'll be back.
Stones Throw was delightful! Fully stocked with lots of towels and amenities. Will certainly keep this VRBO in mind for a summer visit when the hot tub and outside fun can be had. Location is excellent to downtown. My only question to the owners is why there are two remotes for the TV? We used one, but then could not make the other operate, but my husband did prevail, and we then we only used the one
Extremely well sorted out cozy home. Everything you need to have a great time in Bend. Beautiful kitchen with very high end appliances and all accessories to cook a wonderful meal. Spotless in all respects. Walking distance to town, 5 minutes. Host was quick to respond to a question we had. Notebook in home with every detail about the home and many other useful bits of information about the city and areas around. A + property.
Great location,Clean property, Quick owner response
Property was exactly as advertised. We enjoyed your hot tub in the evenings, Thank you for the quick response when we found the lock not to be working on the hot tub. We were finally able to get the lock open after numerous attempts and you promptly came out and replaced it the next day. We loved the fact that you had a top loading washer that was sparkling clean. We’ve stayed at numerous VRBO’s who have a front loaders which are always moldy and we do not use them. Location was fantastic walking distance to all the downtown shops and restaurants. We would definitely recommend this property and stay here again!
