Great location
This property was in an amazing location, close to downtown and shopping. The view of the river couldn’t be beat. Only complaint, the bed was rough . Felt like we were sleeping on a straight box spring, no mattress. Otherwise great rental, and responsive hosts.

Great spot!
This place was very close to perfect for our family — close to a park, access to an indoor pool and a relatively well-equipped kitchen (knives were dull and the stove was a little slow to heat up but we found everything else useful). The view was spectacular and the beds were comfy. And I’ve never had a smoother check-in experience. Really my only complaint was that the floors were really dirty. We take our shoes off inside and everyone’s feet were filthy just from walking on the floor. I would definitely stay here again (maybe BYO swiffer?)

Wonderful Location , Needs to be cleaner
Loved the location , so convenient and beautiful . However the floors were filthy !! And the pseudo nightstands were super dusty and I had to clean myself . Also , should have real and sturdy nightstands instead of wobbly makeshift tall lights with shelving. Could also use a bigger vanity with more counter space . That could’ve made a big difference . Plus perhaps a King size bed ? There seems to be room for that option .

Great location
The location for walking is great - easy walk into town or out into nature. Only recommendations would be to replace the mattress on the bed - not very comfortable and an extra blanket for the trundle bed - a half quilt and a throw not enough. Otherwise the room has everything needed for a few days or even weeks.

Very nice
Very nice location - exactly as advertised. River view just outside the window (didn’t see any otters, but saw a blue heron). Quiet, private - even though River path goes right in front of the window. Would definitely stay here again.

The sound of the river is so incredibly relaxing and the view only adds to the experience. We never had to drive once we parked because the location is just a short along a beautiful riverside trail to the tons of great locations downtown! Would happily stay here again, great place!

Overall, our stay was very enjoyable and peaceful. But Please fix the bathroom floor. It is a trip hazard especially at night. It will be a liability, so please fix that floor tile that sticks up on the floor. Thank you. :))

Ugh!
I will say that the people were nice and understanding. However, the place was absolutely disgusting. It was dirty and smelled horrible. We were on the ground floor in a studio along a walking trail. Large window in front of the bed had half a curtain!!! Half of the window was uncovered. Everyone could see inside as they walked by the window. The stove was broken, floor dirty, furniture was thrift store at best. The smell was awful, they moved us to another room which smelled like dirty socks. We spent 1 night out of the 3. We stayed only because it was late. Woke up with a headache and sore throat from breathing whatever that smell was. It was extremely hot in the room. We couldn’t open the window in the bedroom for air because it was accessible by people walking by. We packed up first thing in the morning and checked out. The people were very nice and did refund our money which I appreciated very much

Location along the Deschutes River was great. The room was private, with access to the river and a public waling/biking trail that is next to the river. Check was easy. A couple of items that could be improved would be the bed was not very comfortable, there was no spare blankets, and the hours for the pool/spa are not posted and the hours that the pool is open is reduced for winter hours.
