General Overview

Beautiful Bend is known for crisp mountain air, high desert landscapes, and a vibrant outdoor recreation mecca. Come and play in the mountains, on the trails and in the river!  Also popular are the numerous craft breweries (30+) and foodie scene. 

Our home is located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to river trails, community parks, shopping, restaurants/food trucks, and a concert venue. Also close, are world class skiing, mountain biking, rock climbing, hiking, golfing, fishing, stand-up paddle boarding, rafting, waterfalls, and more. A bit further drive  will take you to Crater Lake National Park, Willamette Valley wineries, the Gorge,  or the Oregon Coast. There is so much to see and do in Oregon - you will not be disappointed!

The Space

Welcome to our cozy, craftsmen style retreat!  The main level is an open floor plan which allows for seamless flow between the living, dining and kitchen areas. A corner gas fireplace provides a warm ambiance for those high desert early mornings or after a day outdoors. A sliding glass door opens to a wrap around deck and yard. 
The upper level is where you will find two guest bedrooms with shared bath, master bedroom en-suite, laundry and office nook. 
We intend to provide a place where comfort meets adventure, offering the perfect balance of relaxation and connection to nature.

Guest Access

Two-story house, accessed through front door, sliding door on side, or through garage in the back.

Notes

We had such a great stay at Laurie and Dan's Bend home. So tastefully done and with all the creature comforts, a fantastic spa, and a well stocked kitchen. Plus, situated at the end of the street surrounded by pines and vegetation, we felt like we were in a treehouse! Their home is just a short distance to some of the great Bend neighborhoods, restaurants, and bars, and we even were able to walk to and from Hayden Homes Amphitheater for a concert we had tickets to. The icing on the cake is how lovely Laurie and Dan are as people. I hope our PLU paths will cross again.

It was a pleasure hosting Nancy and Jerry, and their two friends! Easy communication from the start, and they left our home beautifully clean and tidy! We would gladly welcome them back anytime!

Laurie and Daniel are delightful hosts. We enjoyed our stay in their Bend home. It was just ten minutes from downtown breweries and shopping, a close drive to Mt. Bachelor for skiing, and in a quiet neighborhood. We loved the spacious bedrooms, crisp linens, and the spa-like bathroom.

Laurie & Daniel

Hello! We are Laurie and Daniel, a friendly, responsible and recently retired couple who love travel and exploring new places.  We are passionate about adventure and the beauty of the great outdoors, through hiking, skiing, biking, etc. We take every opportunity to immerse ourselves in nature wherever we go!  
At the same time, we have a deep appreciation for city exploration and history. We enjoy wandering through vibrant streets, discovering hidden gems, enjoying new cultures and cuisines, and making meaningful connections along the way. 
When not traveling, we love spending time in our own community appreciating the simple joys of life - sharing good food, great conversation and connection. 
We sometimes like to travel with dear friends of ours (2 - 4 adults) and if your home accommodates this and you are open to it. 
We are excited about the opportunity of a wonderful home exchange experience!
