Bluebird Day - Star Cottage

Welcome to the Star Cottage! A 1920's historic Craftsman built during the time of Bend’s mill heyday, lovingly restored with all of the modern amenities and hip, eclectic charm. Soak in the private salt system hot tub on the deck while your furry dog friends enjoy the spacious, open back yard. Hop on a cruiser bike and explore Bend like a local!

Tucked into Bend's up-and-coming historic Hill Street neighborhood centered between the heart of downtown Bend, the Box Factory and Old Mill Districts, you can walk everywhere in minutes. Walk to Jackson’s Corner Restaurant (the local’s fave), Palate Coffee, Crux Brewing, Atlas Cider, and all the shops and restaurants downtown. WebCyclery, a huge bike shop in a historic church is around the corner, and Market of Choice, Bend's gourmet grocery is just down the street. 

So many delightful surprises await you in this historic gem! Charming and sunny with plenty of windows, gorgeous restored hardwood floors, hip and eclectic upscale furnishings and local art work. Cozy up with a good book, watch a movie, enjoy free high-speed internet, or hang out with family and friends. Kids will love the Star Loft, equipped with 2 high quality twin futons.

Enjoy outdoor living Bend-style! Challenge your friends to a game of 'corn hole' or croquet in the huge back yard, or toss a Frisbee with your dogs. Gather fresh herbs and berries from the gardens, grill out on the back deck or soak in your own private salt system hot tub under a Central Oregon sky filled with stars.

Prepare an unforgettable meal in the fully equipped gourmet kitchen newly updated with black stainless appliances. Sit-down dining for 6 makes for many wonderful memories to be made.

The key to a fantastic vacation is a good night’s sleep! Enjoy gorgeous brand new European style bedding with high thread count linens, down duvets, and superior quality mattresses. The front bedroom has a King sized bed, and a Queen in the second bedroom. There are 2 high quality twin sized futons and linens provided in the upstairs Sky Loft (accessible by a ladder through the closet in the queen bedroom).

If you prefer to get out of town and into nature, there are endless hiking and mountain bike trails just minutes from town.  The spectacular Cascade mountains and many lakes are and easy 20 minute drive providing endless opportunities for outdoor adventures. Phil’s mountain bike trails are an easy 3 miles to the west, as well as many walking and hiking trails along the Deschutes River right out your front door!

Mount Bachelor Ski Resort is an easy 25 minute drive from Bend. This mountain is a blast, with a wide variety of terrain and trails that will keep you blissfully enthralled. There is a Mount Bachelor shuttle blocks away that will take you to and from the mountain. 

All Bluebird Day homes are lovingly cared for with the intention of offering you a world class authentic bend vacation experience.  Locally owned and operated, we provide you with a unique opportunity to experience the magic of Bend like a local. We care about our neighborhoods and community, feel passionate about preserving historic homes, and are delighted to offer you a glimpse of our unique and friendly Bend lifestyle. All of our homes are thoroughly cleaned with environmentally friendly cleaning products and proudly feature European style bedding, free high speed wireless internet, books, and much more for you to discover!

Great Stay
We had a great stay! The house was very clean. The beds were very comfortable. Location was great and it was walking distance to downtown and the grocery store. We would absolutely recommend staying here and will likely stay again next time we are in Bend.

Trip to Bend
The house was perfect for our family of four and our small dog. The boys especially liked the secret "hideout". The proximity to downtown and walkability was great. I'd recommend this to anyone staying in Bend.

Great little house in the Old Bend neighborhood, it was exactly what we needed- my kids loved the star themed room. Close to everything you need- although the neighborhood is so overrun with vacation rentals that it feels like a ghost town. We would stay here again.

Star cottage review
Great little place. I will say it’s a bit quirky with 2 beds in the attic, and only 1 bathroom, but we knew that going in. Hot tub was great, plenty of towels, body wash, shampoo, coffee, which of course is huge. Walking distance to downtown also a huge plus. Would stay there again.

Super cute cottage!
Super cute cottage, walkable to all in downtown. We went during peak timing for the beautiful fall colors in Bend. No need to communicate with the property mgmt, as all was as advertised and super easy. Beds were comfy and the hot tub was the icing on the cake. We would definitely stay there again.

Darling cottage home!
My daughter and I had a lovely stay in Bend for a concert. This house was located in the heart of Bend and easy to get to anywhere in town. The hot tub was wonderful, amenities in the house were great. The communication with the staff was amazing. They reached out to see if we got checked in okay the first evening. Comfy beds and home in general. Highly recommend!

Great house and great experience by Bluebird Day
This is our second time staying at a property managed by Bluebird Day in Bend. Their communication is excellent and check-in is easy. They are very responsive, even on weekends. This house, the Star Cottage, is a charming old home in a great area that's walkable downtown and to nearby restaurants and breweries. There are plenty of amenities as listed and the house is very comfortable for a family of 4-5. The kids room upstairs is a magical place, and our child absolutely loved staying there. There are plenty of linens and towels, all very clean and organized, and everything needed for a week's stay to be comfortable. But the home is nearly 100 years old and while many of the original features are charming, they can become a nuisance (think really creaky floors in the master bedroom or a finicky faucet in the shower). But the beds are comfortable, everything was clean, and having a hot tub was great. We would absolutely stay here again

Unbelievable attention to detail!
The attention to detail is amazing in this well though out cottage. The kitchen is well stocked and the knives were even sharp when we were there, unheard of for a vacation rental! The décor details are beautiful and well though out and the furnishings are comfortable. The backyard garden is cute and the addition of herbs and vegetables is a special touch. We absolutely loved our stay here! A couple things you should know: (1) this is a neighborhood in transition. Nothing scary or unsafe, and many houses have or are being remodeled. Some are not, so don't expect the entire neighborhood to look like this. (2) the neighborhood is VERY walkable to many great areas in Bend. Just keep in mind that lighting is dim in many places and the sidewalks aren't perfect. (3) the cottage is fairly close to Highway 97 and the railroad tracks. It didn't bother us, even sleeping with the windows open, but I know some are super sensitive. (4) the loft is ADORABLE, but keep in mind there is a steep stairway/ladder to access it, so it might not be great for super young kiddos. I personally don't think any of the above should be a deterrent to staying here, just things future guests might like to know. We would ABSOLUTELY stay in this or another Blue Bird property again and look forward to our next trip to Bend!

There was construction going on constantly while we were there causing disruption to our sleep. It was so loud we were having to yell to even talk to each other. Sadly we weren’t able to have any good quality outdoor time at the property due to this :(

Great Location and Comfortable Stay
We had a wonderful stay. Downtown and Box Factory/Market of Choice were less than a 20 minute walk. Quiet neighborhood, yard was well maintained. House was clean and had everything we needed, including lots of extra towels. AC was much appreciated for 100 degree days and the extra AC unit kept the loft cool and comfortable. Enjoyed evenings on the shaded porch and even had a deer come by and visit.
