Great place
Great location, walking distance to shops and restaurants. Was very clean and had a well equipped kitchen as we made breakfast everyday. Loved that the rooms all had king size beds and even though there is only one bathroom, it wasn’t a drawback.

Great place in a great location!
Our family loved this place. The location can’t be beat. Each of the three bedrooms were great for what our family needed. For some groups, the one bathroom situation might be more of a challenge but was just fine for us. Would definitely stay at this place again with my family.

Great place in a fun location
The place was just as advertised. Well equipped with what looked like new everything. We enjoyed short drives to Smith Rock and the Newberry Volcanic National Monument, and short walks to places like the broom closet speakeasy at a nearby hotel.

Great location!
Great location, easy walking distance from downtown Bend. The unit has a clean, modern feel. The beds were comfortable and the neighborhood was surprisingly quiet given its location. Keep in mind there is only one bathroom. We had a wonderful stay!

Fantastic location! Super house!
We had a great time staying at Big Lava! Our kids loved walking to the candy store. We loved being able to walk to so many fun places. The house was just the right size for our family and had everything that we needed. Great communication with the hosts. We would definitely recommend staying herald would stay here again if we get the opportunity to get back to Bend!

Very cute and clean house. The location was great- we were able to walk to all the restaurants downtown and to Drake Park. My only complaint was that the house was much smaller than what appeared on the website photos. But overall it was a great place to stay!!

House was in the perfect location! We were 3-4 minutes from everything! The only thing that I wish was that the heat worked a little more in the bedroom but I’m just a really cold person all the time. Nothing that would stop me from staying there again! Really cute house! :)

Great Property in an Ideal Location
This property is very well located near the “Old Bend” neighborhood. I loved being able to walk into town for coffee or to shop or eat at one of the many nearby restaurants. The house was extremely clean and well cared for. The kitchen was well stocked. The one bathroom was small but fine for our family. Having a parking spot was super convenient. Overall, we loved our stay!

Perfect location, super comfy bed(s)!!!
Incredibly clean, very comfy bed(s) (we only used one lol) and love that they’re king size, very well stocked kitchen, owners were so nice and communicative, and a seriously perfect location for walkability. Lots of seating at table and bar, but, the *only* thing I’d give future renters a note about is that the living room furniture really only allows 3 people to “lounge” comfortably (one person on chair, two people lay or recline on the sofa). Four can very comfortably sit on the sofa, but might not be the easiest to “lounge” and watch a movie, for example. For the two of us, every single thing was A+ 😊 Thank you!!!
