Very walkable

Cute and cozy. Great location to downtown. Easy walk to restaurants, laundromat, pubs and markets. The walls were a bit thin and could hear street noise but it didn’t last long as the city quiets down fairly early. We would reserve this place again!

Cute tiny house in good location

We were looking for a place to stay close to downtown with our own kitchen so we could save on food expenses. This place is cute, tiny, in a great location, and has a fully functional kitchen which is what we needed. Coming in at about the same nightly price as a Bend hotel room, it feels like a much better value. Everything was just as described and the keyless entry was super easy for checking in and out. Neighborhood is very safe, we felt fine parking one car in the driveway and another in the neighborhood (pay careful attention to parking restrictions!). The park and lake across the way were a lovely place to have coffee before walking into town.

Bend Sept 2024

Convenient location to downtown Bend. Trouble with air conditioning. Loud clicking noise made sleeping with AC on at night impossible. Reported to iTrip including video and sound they requested. ITrip sent message they will send a “team” over to fix, mesaage followed the “team” said AC was “ defrosting” and “fixed” temp on ac was set at 70 so I didn’t understand “defrosting” comment. Returned in the evening and problem still exists reported again no response until 3rd day when response was “will talk to mgmt” Four days wo air conditioning at night during heat wave and smoke warnings. Over priced mini house with poor mgmt and response. Very good at automated texts asking for 5 stars reviews.

Close to it all

We struggled in the beginning to get the off street parking sorted out as another tenant was taking up multiple parking spots (normally not a problem but this location is in the pickup zone for river floaters, experiences at Drake Park, so street parking is a premium), but once that was sorted out, great place to stay. Loved the proximity to everything. The unit was well appointed and would definitely stay here again. Chris @ iTrip NW was great to deal with.

Darling retro property

It is important to note that it was very difficult to find the property due to the address being incorrect. We love the comfort and the design and the location of Drake cottage 473. After returning back to the cottage late last night, we discovered water on the floor in the kitchen. We were able to turn the water off to prevent water damage.

Comfortable, Simple, and a Great Location

This was a great location, and while the cottage is tiny, it had everything we needed. The fireplace sitting area with the view of the park was really nice in the evening, and the bed was very comfortable. If you want a fancy place where you spend your whole vacation, this place is not that and would become claustrophobic pretty quick. And if you want a place to sleep and keep your stuff and cook an occasional meal, within walking distance to explore Bend, at an affordable price, this place is great.
