We will always look for the Freshfields Farm Bed and Breakfast when we visit Bend in the future. This was my first stay in a VRBO and I am sold! Yes there was not an over-chlorinated swimming pool, but there were plenty of chickens and two baby goats that made my child extremely happy. We enjoyed the farm atmosphere and the view of the mountains. Our rooms were quiet, clean and extremely enjoyable - plenty of games and Dish TV.
And the breakfasts! Delicious. Not the gross breakfast fare you get at the expensive Hotels. Donna brought over eggs, bacon, sausage, cheerios, etc both mornings. She was also very flexible on what time to bring breakfast over. Also, the refrigerator was stocked with water, yogurts, cheeses, etc. Donna sent us off with a dozen of fresh farm eggs as well. Her home-made Apple Strudel pie is also a must (you will need to purchase that.)
We were concerned that the drive from Bend would be too long, but it only took 19 minutes and there was never much traffic. So if you are wanting to do a lot of activities in the Old Mill District, the drive takes no time.
My child is already asking when we can go back again.
