Unsurpassed combination of charm and location, this legendary cottage will create an experience long remembered.

It’s no wonder this bustling location earns a Walk Score® of 86. It is at the crossroads of all things going on in the center of Bend.

This cozy apartment is located across the street from Drake Park, site of the Deschutes River float drop off and numerous festivals and music! At the park, you can catch a free Munch ‘n Music event on a postcard summer evening, or a year-round saunter along the river.

Walk a couple of blocks to Bend’s premiere downtown shopping area home, home to many award-winning shops and dining experiences. For a downtown location, it doesn’t get any better than this. There are endless choices for dinner, shopping, people-watching, refreshing craft beers, or a cup of locally roasted coffee. Street festivals, art fairs, live music and Tower Theater events dot the calendar all year. In the summer, you will be first in line at the downtown farmer’s market.

You are situated just a block from the Galveston Bridge overlooking the river. The vibrant and potentially boisterous Galveston corridor is home to a plethora of brew pubs, restaurants, food carts, and coffee shops.

Bring your bikes and easily extend your touring experience through the historic neighborhoods to the Box Factory, Whitewater Park, and The Old Mill where you can spend the afternoon shopping, movie-going, trekking on numerous river trails, and wine tasting. When you return, lock the two-wheelers in our shed for safekeeping.

From here, you have easy access to all outdoor activities. Mt. Bachelor and the Cascade Lakes Highway are just a short drive away.

If you need to take a breather inside, settle into the love seat and enjoy the infra-red fireplace, HD SmartTV, BluRay, read a book, or enjoy what WiFi can offer.

The bedroom is on the outside corner of the apartment and does not have any shared walls.

The efficient kitchen is fully stocked with utensils for virtually anything you want to put on the menu. There is cold water filtration at the kitchen sink, so fill the flask before setting out in the morning.

You also have the option of firing up the gas grill on the patio and enjoying your favorite homemade alfresco dinner, looking out at the park and river.

The bathroom is tastefully done and provides a combo tub and shower.

Keep in mind this is a multi-unit building. Each of the apartments in this wonderful fourplex home feels quite private but they do have some shared walls. Please be aware that some noise may travel between apartments and from the street, especially if doors and window are open. City of Bend quiet hours are from 10pm to 8am and are enforced as are Bend's Good Neighbor Guidelines. Thank you for respecting our neighbors and helping everyone enjoy this special retreat in Bend. The Good Neighbor Guidelines are in the binder.

Drake Cottage is well located for Old Bend, downtown, and the Old Mill District. Drake Park is just steps away. The apartment is well-equipped, clean, and comfortable. The only disappointment was the traffic noise that was more than expected for a residential neighborhood.

Great Stay in Bend
Fantastic little VRBO in a great location. Everything as described. Perfect for my wife & I on our 28th anniversary trip. Couple minor cleaning issues. Noticed it was pretty dirty under the bed when trying to adjust the power strips to make plugging in devices easier at the nightstands, and the vent for the bathroom fan was filthy.

BEND Cottage
Very nice location. Walking distance to Old Bend downtown area and right on the river. Property was nice but kitchen is very tight with minimal utensils provided Regardless, it met our needs quite nicely. The air system is a single unit centrally located so doesn’t do a great job of cooling the bedroom area. We had to prop up a portable fan to try to get cool air. But it sufficed. All in all - a nice spot to stay.

This place was perfect for our stay in Bend. The location is close to absolutely everything. It is also across the street from Drake Park. A lovely park with geese, ducks, dog walkers, paddle boarding and walking trails. The condo itself has a lovely courtyard and is well appointed with everything you need for a lovely stay. We would absolutely stay here again.

Just right
A very efficient apartment close to all that Bend has to offer, including my son’s place! We’ve stayed in this complex before and loved it’s location. Was a bit fearful that the proximity to the road and Drake park would equal noisy at night, but things quiet down markedly after 9 pm. This is an older cottage , and as such, windows are a bit drafty on a cold night. Plenty of blankets and an electric fireplace and we were cozy. It was 17 degrees outside a couple of nights!! Bed is quite comfortable.

Quaint cottage with a midget toilet
The location of the cottage by Drake Park in Bend is wonderful. The cottage is quaint and small and has just one parking space. Lots of road traffic throughout the day. All of that is OK as long as you are not an adult over 5’11 inches in height. Their toilet is so low to the ground and small that it’s really useful for only small people. The property manager was extremely helpful with our temperature control issues for the heater and air conditioner.
