You can literally WALK EVERYWHERE!  Or hop on one of the 4 cruiser bikes provided and explore Bend like a local.

So many delightful surprises await you in this wonderful cottage! The space is lovely and open with plenty of windows, gorgeous hardwood floors, chic modern furnishings and upscale decor.

The key to a fantastic vacation is a good night’s sleep! Enjoy gorgeous European style bedding with high thread count linens and down duvets. The master bedroom has a King sized bed, and there are two twins in the second bedroom which can be pushed together to form an additional King. There is a high quality Queen sized sleeper sofa with linens provided for your extra guests.

Wonderful Location
My husband & I rented Sparks Cottage for a week to get our son settled into his first year at COCC. The location was perfect. 4 minute drive to the campus and one block away from Backporch Coffee & Newport Avenue Market. It can be challenging to find a 2 bedroom with twin beds, so if that’s what you need, this is a great find.

Sparks Cottage was greater than expected. It seemed bigger than I thought it would be. Great to have the two bathrooms with a family staying. Coffee within walking distance and easy drive to downtown.

Beautiful house, great location
Our family including kids ages 2-10 stayed here for 4 days in July. The house had everything we needed. We’ve done 20+ VRBO rentals over the years and this one is definitely in the top few for a comfortable stay, clean, great location with everything we needed. Loved being right around the corner from restaurants, coffee shops and grocery store and easy walk to several parks. Was also was a great “hub” for day trips just outside of Bend. Would definitely recommend and would stay again if we’re ever back in the area!

Perfect Location to Explore Bend- great cottage!!
We had one of the best trips ever this past week. My family was in town for our annual family reunion and we decided to stay on the west side. We have teen boys and we wanted to make sure that they had things to do. This home is in the perfect location, we walked everywhere and enjoyed the neighborhood so much. It is just around the corner from where my father grew up. Wonderful coffee, shops, and restaurants nearby. The cottage is perfectly stocked, the beds are incredibly comfortable and the host was communicative and very friendly. We will definitely be staying again. Thanks for such a great trip. .

Amazing location!
This is such a well appointed house with everything you could need. So many towels, which with little kids who wanted to be in the river all morning, that was so helpful! The location right next to amazing breakfast and coffee places was fantastic as well! We hope to be back.
