General Overview
Come to this amazing spacious house in Bend, Oregon, USA! We have availability this fall in the apartment above our garage, which is perfect for 1-2 people. For the entire house, we still have some availability during the upcoming holidays. For next summer we are looking for the Scandinavian countries as well as Scotland and Cornwall. We are open to offers and love Globes and Plutos!
The Space
Welcome to our beautiful, comfortable, and spacious home with many details that make it comfortable and memorable. Bend is an amazing place to visit and we would be happy to help you with any needs during your stay!
You'll step right into a gorgeous living room with fireplace, and a library with enough books to keep you reading for years. Past the library, there are 2 bedrooms, one is a suite with queen bed and en suite bathroom and the other has a queen bed, and there's a bathroom just outside its door. Upstairs, there are 3 bedrooms, one with a queen bed and one with a twin bed, and a full bathroom. The TV room is also upstairs and there is a twin bed in that room. The kitchen is large and modern. Just past the dining area is a sunroom full of windows.
Beyond the kitchen is a 600 sf bonus room/apartment with a wet bar and bathroom, large TV, fireplace, sofa, table and chairs, and desk.
And then there's also a garage and yard, chicken coop, and trampoline!
Since we live in a quiet family neighborhood with neighbors and friends all around us, our home is not suitable for family reunions and gatherings of that kind. Exceptions can be made depending on your experience in both hosting more than one family group and in bringing extra people with you.
We prefer visitors who can take care of our outdoor chickens and rabbits. And we would be very happy to take care of your pets! Our cats will be boarded out
There are exterior cameras at all doors. Notifications will be disabled the day after your arrival.
Guest Access
Two-story house, access through front door or garage in back.
Notes
We have done over 80 exchanges on two platforms in the last 80 years and are believers in the sharing ethos! We have "met" many wonderful people through exchanging and traveling is an important part of our lives. As former homeschoolers, we seek out opportunities to go to a variety of places and get exposure to different cultures. Because my children are now in college and high school, we are constrained by the school calendar.
WE HAVE OUTDOOR CHICKENS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF!

We had such a lovely stay in Bend at Pat’s. The house was beautiful and in a lovely neighborhood with a park and trails across the street. The house was immaculate with a beautifully landscaped yard. Pat was easy and quick to communicate even though she was halfway around the world at the time. I am hoping to come back again this Winter!
Pat's house is the perfect place to explore Bend. Central but very calm. It's a big house, so you can visit with friends (like we did) or family. Kids loved the house: there is a trampoline, cickens , a huge TV room and even a hidden closet ! Bend is a great destination if you like the outdoors. You can float down the river (Pat has flooties!) , you can find beautiful hikes, lakes to swim, waterfalls to jump down the cliffs. And if you like foodtrucks and beers, Bend is the place to be! Pat is the kindest host, always ready to help and it's very easy to communicate with her. Very recommended exhange and destination!
Pat's home was the perfect spot for my husband and I plus she was so accommodating...even leaving for her other home to work with our dates. She has a wonderful welcome book with recommendations, and was readily available with questions about where to eat and what to do.
It was an absolute pleasure to host Pat and her daughters at our home. We had great communication throughout the exchange. They looked after Luna the dog very well and I’m sure she enjoyed being with them. We arrived back to a spotless house and would very happily exchange with them again. The whole exchange went seamlessly and I can thoroughly recommend Pat and her family to other exchangers. I hope we get to meet one day in person.
I had a lovely stay at Peter and Layne's home in Prescott Valley, chilling out with their sweet dogs, exploring the area, and visiting with my daughter at college in Flagstaff! Their home is comfortable and clean and Layne is very organized in preparing for exchanges, which I greatly appreciate! Had everything we needed and it was easy to get around and explore the area. There is plenty to do outside locally and lots of good places to eat. I'd love to stay again!
This exchange came together quickly and smoothly while I was off traveling and doing exchanges! Christi left our house spotless and we would be happy to have her return!
We had a wonderful stay at Laura’s home, from start to finish! All of our communications went smoothly, this was so easy to arrange. The house guide is very clear and complete and had everything we needed. We got to take care of Luna, the dog, for a couple of days and that was really fun and she’s so sweet! Laura left a very nice welcome basket for us and that was awesome so we didn’t have to rush out to buy the basics. The house had plenty of room for us and was very clean and conveniently located. We walked everywhere, used buses some of the time. We loved all the pictures of Laura’s family and the love of family was reflected in every room. It was so easy to get around Oxford and the area. Jericho was a wonderful area to be located close to, with all its little shops and restaurants and cafes—so many places, four days wasn’t enough time to try everything! Laura was super quick to respond to every message, really appreciated that and we will never forget our stay in Oxford.
Martina and I had an exchange all arranged in 2020, but Covid-19 and other challenges prevented it from happening! Martina and I kept in touch frequently and we met for drinks in Italy last year. And finally she and her son and friends were able to come to Bend! We got this worked out quickly, communication before and during the exchange was excellent in all ways. Marta is really an exceptional person and perfect exchanger in every way and she is always welcome to return and one of these days I'll get over to Italy again and spend some time in one of her houses there!
Eileen and Mike were great guests! Communication was a breeze from the time of our initial contact all the way through to the conclusion of their stay at our home. They left our house immaculate and were just the nicest people to hav win our home! They would be welcome back anytime.
Johanna and her family were wonderful guests, left our house in perfect condition! They were good communicators and we are really looking forward to going to their home in the future!
Absolutely, you are very welcome!

We are a family of four, but our travel group varies from 2-4. We love to travel and have done close to 100 exchanges on two platforms. We are respectful and clean! We used to be homeschoolers and did many exchanges during those yeas but now have both college and high school schedules to work within. Please contact us, we would love to hear from you!
"One of my daughters has been accepted at the University of Victoria so we expect to go up there often for the next four years and would love a regular exchange partner or hospitality stay."
