Old Bend House | Bluebird Day - River Gem Bungalow

1 Bedroom House in Old Bend, Bend

Welcome to River Germ Bungalow!
The River Gem Bungalow is a bright and cheerful one bedroom treasure nestled in the heart of Bend`s popular Westside with a location that can't be beat!
This natural-contemporary style home features high ceilings, lots of windows, a cozy loft and a queen size sleeper sofa. Relax on the deck or under the aspens in the backyard surrounded by mature trees and landscaping. This home features European style bedding with fresh clean duvet cover and high thread count linens. There is a fully equipped kitchen, very small washer and dryer, and a gas grill in the backyard for grilling.
Right across the street from the Deschutes River, within walking distance of the Old Mill District, historic downtown, Hayden Homes Amphitheater, and numerous breweries.
Directly behind the house is Miller`s Landing park: a riparian strip of riverfront with nesting osprey, walking trails, and excellent river access.
Only a few steps away is a charming footbridge that takes you over the river on an easy walk to Columbia Park and "Pirate Playground," a wonderland for kids.
If you prefer to get out and explore, there are plenty of hiking and mountain bike trails just minutes from town in the Deschutes National Forest. The spectacular Cascade Mountains and many lakes are an easy 20 minute drive providing endless opportunities for outdoor adventures.

Summary: We just wrapped up a few weeks in Bend with our dogs and couldn’t have asked for a better location or experience. Walking distance to great restaurants and a little longer walk to get into downtown itself to enjoy the shops and cafes. An ideal spot for our dogs to enjoy lots of sniffs and walks along the river and even a few swims! The place itself is cozy and has everything you need to comfortably camp out for a longer stay. We also enjoyed the use of the grill and cocktails/meals on the deck. The owner happened to be close by and he and the property management company went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. This made us feel at home and part of the neighborhood. Just minutes to world class hiking, trail running, and mountain biking trails. If you have a chance to stay here, do it!
