Beautiful Bend Retreat - Your Perfect Summer Home Base - Meredith Lodging Summer in Bend is legendary, and this light-filled contemporary home in the coveted River Wild neighborhood puts you right in the middle of it all. Step outside and you're a short stroll from the Deschutes River Trail your gateway to one of the best summer rituals Central Oregon offers: floating the river on inner tubes. It's pure fun, and you'll come back glowing every time. Walk just 15 minutes along the scenic river trail and you're at the Old Mill District Bend's favorite gathering spot for dining, wine tasting, boutique shopping, and water sports rentals. Need downtown Bend? It's just a 10-minute drive. This location is simply hard to beat. After a full day of adventure, come home to a house that's genuinely comfortable not just "vacation rental comfortable." The soaring two-story vaulted living room is bathed in natural light, with a giant sectional couch and big screen TV for easy evenings, and a gas fireplace for cooler nights. The fully Equipped kitchen is a real one granite island with gas cooktop, stainless appliances, new cookware, a crockpot, and everything a family needs to cook and eat well. No scrambling for a spatula here. The wraparound deck is a summer highlight: fire up the grill for a BBQ dinner, gather around the dining table, or settle into the Adirondack chairs with your morning coffee while the Bend sun warms up for the day. When you're ready to unwind, the community pool and hot tub just steps away are yours to enjoy with passes provided in the home. It's the perfect ending to a day on the river. Sleeping up to 7 guests across three bedrooms: a main-level king primary suite with private deck access and ensuite bath, a queen bedroom upstairs with private bath access, and a third bedroom with two full beds plus a twin trundle — ideal for families with kids.
