Extra spacious

Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
Wake up refreshed in this bright sanctuary overlooking a rocky hillside and grassy meadow in an historic neighborhood. Comfy king bed, private entrance, kitchenette, private bath & dedicated workspace. Walk to beautiful First Street Rapids Park footbridge (less than 1 min) & Downtown along the River Trail passing several parks. This unique space has charm along with an ideal location. No parties or pets please. Trip insurance recommended if illness, weather or smoke may be an issue.♥︎

The space
The calm, parklike setting makes it hard to believe you are so close to the conveniences of town. Relaxing is inevitable in this private sanctuary where all your needs are met. Please note there is a shared wall with our primary home so some family noise is inevitable when we are home. If you are looking for total silence, you may want to consider a different option.

Guest access
The private entrance to the right side of the home allows for coming and going at any hours. The covered walkway to the door has a table and chairs to enjoy the morning side, or afternoon shade overlooking an empty lot with chickens, trees and open meadow. You'll have access to a kitchenette (with sink, microwave, Keurig machine, ample counter space, picnic supplies, etc.), and a private bathroom (including bathtub).

Other things to note
Please note that because the room is attached to our main home and we do share a wall, there are some normal household noises that will come into the room. The shared wall is up against our office and laundry room, so you won't need to worry about disturbing anyone.

Wildfire smoke is a significant risk in the mid-summer to late fall in the PNW, especially east of the Cascades. Please note that both Airbnb (and by extension, us as hosts) can not predict or control the weather or the smoke, and neither of these are considered grounds for exceptions to the refund policy. If you want a more flexible cancellation policy due to air quality/smoke, we recommend purchasing travel insurance through Airbnb, which is offered to you during the booking process. If your time in Bend is impacted by smoke, we are happy to help you make the best of it—there are often times of day or parts of the surrounding area that are far less smoky than others. We live here and understand the challenge.

Note that dogs are not allowed, including Emotional Support Animals, which are not recognized as service animals in the state of Oregon. If you are bringing a service animal, we would appreciate if you would describe what duties or work it has been trained to perform, and if it is required because of a disability.

Neighborhood highlights

This is a special location: Old Bend but not vacation homes all around. You're in a real neighborhood that is smack dab in the middle of Bend. Incredibly convenient with access to highway 97, downtown and the Deschutes River. Our neighborhood has been described as, "The last of the Mohicans" of Bend. There are multi-million dollar houses two houses down, as well as homes that haven't changed since they were built in the 20's. Being 200 yards from the Deschutes River and bordering downtown, the area has seen an explosion in property values and, as such, is enjoying significant upgrades. The First Street Rapids Park has a variety of picnic areas, river access, and one of most northerly footbridges across the river, making it a popular spot for walkers, bikers, kayakers/floaters, and fishers. Please note that we are the only Airbnb on our street -- please respect our neighbors!

Where I went to school: WWU, UO, OSU
Two friendly outdoor-enthusiasts who love their two kids, the outdoors, coffee, chocolate, and time in the kitchen. We met through a shared love of travel and adventure. Now that we have put down roots and have a family, we want to provide the kind of warm hospitality we experienced in so many places around the world. We were both born in the Pacific Northwest and spent our first three years together living in Jakarta, Indonesia. Ryan enjoys mountain biking, snowboarding, roasting coffee, surfing and all things nerdy. Katie likes yoga, reading, trail running and creativity in the kitchen. We feel fortunate to have absurdly easy access to nature and endless ways to enjoy it. We also appreciate that kind and thoughtful neighbors surround us. We are delighted to share our space and hope you enjoy every minute. Warmly, Ryan & Katie Lenz
