Cozy lair in downtown Bend
Wrens nest was very clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, plus walking distance or a short drive to restaurants. Although the house is small, the spaces have been maximized for utility and comfort. We loved having the house to come back to after each long day of hiking. Steve was easy to communicate with and instructions were clear. Highly recommend this rental to anyone visiting Bend or hiking at Newberry Crater or Smith Rock state park.

absolutely perfect!
From initial booking to check out the host Steve was quick to reply and very nice! The rental home itself could not have been more perfect! The location was easy walk to 3 main areas with food/shops and the home itself was stocked with anything you could need. It was cute, clean and comfortable and loved spending time relaxing on the outdoor patio/deck. Will definitely recommend to friends and stay om a future visit. Thank you Steve!

Successful 50th birthday trip
The property is well-kept quaint house in a historic neighborhood. Close to the river trail and plenty of restaurants and shops to spend an entire weekend and never get in a car (altho we did in order to explore the forest trails and lakes south of Bend). But when “home” we racked up the steps exploring town. The houses are fairly close together on that street so on Fri/Sat nights when the neighboring short term rental was filled we did have some rowdy or loud talking neighbors who woke us up. But no big deal and expected for where we were. There is also a train nearby but we only heard it once and not at night. Very clean property, small shady backyard perfect for taking a break for activity and enjoying the weather. The host was communicative and very nice to leave a birthday note and gift for my husband. Would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic!
Loved this space, location and host! All were so great!!! I highly recommend staying here if you want the walkability from the center of Bend. It’s an awesome city with so much to offer! Only took 30 min to get to mount bachelor, I was able to walk to all the breweries, lots of restaurants and even the mall. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat. The house is huge and the yard is awesome e for those bringing a pet. Thx for having us, I’ll be back for sure!

Easy trip to downtown
The house offered all of the amenities that we needed for our trip to visit family. We enjoyed the backyard setup with the cornhole and while we didn't end up using the bikes, we loved that they were there and well-taken care of. There were quite of few games to play and dvds to watch as well. It was also an easy 8 minute walk to downtown.
