Minimum StayGreat Family Vacation
We have stayed in the Bend area many times but this is the first time we stayed in central Bend. We loved being so close to the river, River Bend Park and activities. We still drove out to the Alpine lakes and also Sun River for biking. We loved this location. The house also was wonderful. We loved how everyone had their own privacy and yet with the common areas we were able to have great family time. The home is beautiful, clean and very comfortable.

Wonderful spot on the river
We came back to this house for another big family vacation. The house is perfect for us - it is nice to be able to spread out with lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. We really enjoyed cooling off in the river with the kids. Bike rides into town and bike rides going north on the Deschutes River Trail were both highlights that can be done by riding a short distance to Sawyer Park and picking up the trail there.

Great location for our coast to coast group.
Well located, well equipped, with plenty of space for the whole family. It's not always easy to get everyone together when we're scattered from coast to coast. This was a wonderful solution! Thank you, Rick, for sharing your home.

Fantastic vacation
This is our second time to stay at this home for a family vacation. Rick is great to work with and very organized. The home is perfect for our needs with everyone having their own space. The grandkids love the game area down stairs. The house was very clean and well stocked on our arrival. Hope to do it all again. (Just have to add that I really missed the extra fridge in the garage for drinks, but we dealt with it). Thanks for sharing this home with us.

You'll love this one of a kind house, located in a one of a kind spot!
The 4000 sq. ft. home is in a gated subdivision on the Deschutes River. The back looks out at the river and across to the river trail where bikers and hikers pass by throughout the day. With no houses across the river, it feels like you're out in the country, but you're right in town!
The main level is mostly great room with huge picture windows looking out to the river. The spacious kitchen with seating at the marble island is a natural gathering spot - and cooks will love the fully equipped kitchen with high end appliances including a 6 burner gas cooktop. The other side of the great room is the living area which has a gas fireplace and 70' HD TV with surround sound. Stepping outside onto the main deck, you will find yourself looking down on one of the prettiest sections of the Deschutes River. This is a fabulous place to spend the evenings. The sun sets early behind Awbrey Butte so there is a long twilight. Also on the main level is a full bathroom and an office/bedroom with a queen size bed.
Upstairs are two bedrooms. One is a nice sized bedroom with a queen bed and its own full bath. The other is the master. It's very spacious with a king bed, sitting area, and a huge private deck out over the roof. The bathroom is over the top with dual sinks, walk-in shower, jetted bath, and a washer and dryer.
Go downstairs to the lower level and you'll find yourself in the game room. It has a full size pool table, arcade games, pub table and chairs, couches, a 40' TV and great views of the river. Adjacent to the game room, there is a spacious bedroom with a terrific river view and a queen size bed. There is also a huge bunk room with two sets of bunkbeds and a queen bed. Further back you'll find a theater with a 100' screen and high quality surround sound. There's a PlayStation 3 that's really cool on the big screen with the surround sound. Rounding out the bottom level are two full bathrooms. The best part of the basement level is the covered granite patio overlooking the river. Watch the wildlife while you enjoy the shade on a warm summer day; or soak in the hot tub after skiing in the winter.
