Great Place!
We absolutely loved our time here! Great location, right across the street from the river and really close to all the fun local attractions Bend has to offer. We were able to walk pretty much everywhere and felt completely safe doing so. The place was exactly as described in the listing and we had access to everything we needed.

Comfortable, Simple, and a Great Location
This was a great location, and while the cottage is tiny, it had everything we needed. The fireplace sitting area with the view of the park was really nice in the evening, and the bed was very comfortable. If you want a fancy place where you spend your whole vacation, this place is not that and would become claustrophobic pretty quick. And if you want a place to sleep and keep your stuff and cook an occasional meal, within walking distance to explore Bend, at an affordable price, this place is great.

First time with home rental
This was the wife and my first time using a home rental service like HomeAway or AirBNB. If all owners are like Reb we will definitely be using the service again rather than a hotel. Great experience, great location, and great rental.

Bend First Trip
Great location, smaller interior than expected. Steps from River path and all local spots, but you have to like to walk. Be aware you’re on corner of busy intersection. Overall, very comfortable with everything you need if cooking in. Great location one more time.

Darling retro property
It is important to note that it was very difficult to find the property due to the address being incorrect. We love the comfort and the design and the location of Drake cottage 473. After returning back to the cottage late last night, we discovered water on the floor in the kitchen. We were able to turn the water off to prevent water damage.

Little Gem in Bend
This property is in the perfect location for anyone wanting to explore Bend and the surrounding areas. It was so relaxing to enjoy a cup of coffee on the patio while looking at the river which is literally across the street. The people watching on the weekend is fun as well. It is located on a busy corner of a main road so there is some daytime traffic noise, but inside you can barely hear it and is very light in the evening. We walked easily to the Old Mill District and saw a couple of shows at the amphitheater. Not having to drive and find parking was clutch! You're also close to downtown Bend where there is a lot of fun shopping. The property was very clean and the bed was super comfy! I'm already looking forward to my next trip up. : )

It was a perfect stay!!! We were attending the Bend Film Festival, and most of the films were downtown and we could just walk to them... The bed was comfortable (well, the pillows were too thick for my husband, but there were others in the closet!!! Thanks for that!) The kitchen is very well supplied, with lots of basics, like cooking oil, salt and pepper, spices, good coffee and decent tea bags!!! What a treat for this tea drinker to have green tea bags supplied! The patio looked amazing, but we were so involved with the film fest that we didn't take time to enjoy it! Thanks for a great stay... we are already thinking of possibly coming next year!

Bend Sept 2024
Convenient location to downtown Bend. Trouble with air conditioning. Loud clicking noise made sleeping with AC on at night impossible. Reported to iTrip including video and sound they requested. ITrip sent message they will send a “team” over to fix, mesaage followed the “team” said AC was “ defrosting” and “fixed” temp on ac was set at 70 so I didn’t understand “defrosting” comment. Returned in the evening and problem still exists reported again no response until 3rd day when response was “will talk to mgmt” Four days wo air conditioning at night during heat wave and smoke warnings. Over priced mini house with poor mgmt and response. Very good at automated texts asking for 5 stars reviews.

Convenient Spot for A Couple Looking to Venture Around Town
When we first pulled up and saw just a small space open between three other vehicles, we were afraid I'd made some mistake and booked a room in a shared house. We were immediately relieved and pleasantly so to find a cozy, immaculately kept space perfect for two people. It was obvious someone really cared for the place. This was the cleanest rental property I've ever stayed in and had really nice touches, from organic soaps to locally sourced coffee and the sort of appliances and kitchenware you'd have in your own house. It didn't at all feel cheap or tossed together, like some rental places. The place was warm and comfortable. Best part is the location: you're walking distance from 10 Barrel and that whole scene right across the river and you're right on the park. You can experience Bend without a car, if you wanted. Overall great spot. Would visit again.
