Old Mill Retreat! Fam Friendly - Welcomes 6!

Summary:
If you’re the type of vacationer who relishes in exploring everything the great outdoors of a newly discovered location has to offer, The Old Mill Retreat is the ideal getaway for both small families and groups of adults looking to explore the beautiful surroundings and vibrant local scene.

The Space:
This modern, newly updated home offers everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a laundry room with a full washer and dryer, hair dryer, iron and ironing board, WiFi, streaming capabilities, and ceiling fans in the living room and master bedroom. The living room and master bedroom also feature portable AC units, ensuring comfort during warmer months.

The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk or bike ride away from the Old Mill District, where you can explore a variety of shops, restaurants, a movie theater, and the Les Schwab Amphitheater. River trails are nearby, perfect for a scenic stroll or a day of exploration. A quick 2-minute drive gets you to the entrance of Highway 97, taking you north to Smith Rock or south to Sunriver. If you’re heading to Mt. Bachelor for a day of skiing or snowboarding, Reed Market provides quick access to S Century Dr, or you can drive a mile and a half to catch the shuttle. For those who enjoy tasting the local flavors, a short bike ride will take you to several brewpubs and wine rooms, perfect for an afternoon of tastings. The area offers year-round activities, from skiing at the nearby Wanoga Sno-Park in winter to golfing at Widgi Creek Golf Course in the summer. Whether you’re seeking outdoor adventure or a relaxing retreat, The Old Mill Retreat has it all.

Outdoors, you’ll find three private patios: a covered patio with a tile-top café table and chairs off the dining area, a grill area accessible from the kitchen, and a large, open, fenced courtyard with a table and chairs accessible from the master bedroom. A propane grill is available for those who enjoy outdoor cooking, and curb parking makes it easy to come and go.

The home’s chic and modern interior is a welcome contrast to the rugged outdoors, where memories with loved ones are made within open spaces outfitted with contemporary furnishings and sophisticated décor. Sink into plush leather sofa seating in the living room while you stream episodes of all your favorite shows on the smart TV, the fireplace creating the perfect ambiance for a cozy movie night. The fully equipped kitchen is a chef’s delight, showcasing stainless steel appliances, glossy stone countertops, and rich dark cabinetry stocked with cookware and dining ware. Gather everyone together at the table with seating for 6 or keep things casual to snack on hors d’oeuvres at the countertop with stool seating for 4. Three unique private patio spaces will have you back outdoors breathing in the fresh mountain air while you play games, grill up a feast, or enjoy meals al fresco.

This home comfortably sleeps 6 guests between 2 private bedrooms. Guests of this home can also enjoy the added convenience of an air mattress for extra flexibility, as well as a toddler mattress to keep the little ones comfortable.

Bedroom #1 includes a full size bed and full size trundle.

Overall, the place was nice enough and the kitchen was well equipped. However, the master bathroom lacked a few amenities, such as nowhere to hang bath towels, and a running toilet, which required our having to constantly remove the tank lid and adjust the flapper. I was also a bit miffed that we had to load and wash our towels before checking out. We felt it should be part of the cleaning fee.The location was very convenient to the Old Mill section of town, which was great. All in all, it was a fine place to stay, but feel improvements could be made to make it more comfortable.

Convenient location to walk to Mill District and Hayden Amphitheater. Accommodations were sufficient with comfy beds and simple, basic amenities. Great to have washer/dryer available too. Unit is starting to show its age and some paint touch ups or refresh would elevate the space.

The location is great and the beds were pretty comfortable. However, AC consisted of 2 window units and the spare bedroom didn't have one and was really hot. They also didn't provide enough sheets for all the beds there. The toilet in the spare bath needs to be completely replaced. It doesn't flush properly. The property is bare minimum accommodations. They don't care to keep it in top functioning shape, The owners clearly don't care to invest any time or money into making this home as functional as it could be.

The unit itself was very nice and in a great location. However, they never gave us the access code for the front door until the DAY AFTER our reservation started. We called and texted them multiple times with no response until a day later… Luckily a maintenance man let us in. The yard was a great space, but was covered with weeds (some more than 4ft tall). There was also no central A/C in the unit (wasn’t a huge deal since they had A/C window units).

Needs Attention to Details and Safety Hazards.

Overall, if you're not planning on using the backyard/patio area, the front & inside of the home was lovely & mostly clean. There were cobwebs on the inside of a few of the windows, fans needed cleaning, a couple of bulbs out, and a broken handle at the sink.The backyard looks nothing like the photos. Very overgrown w/ tall weeds & a fire pit sitting in the middle of them, just a few feet from a wooden fence & another house, making a fire hazard for the whole neighborhood as the homes are super close. I'm a property manager of vacation rentals in Oregon, it surprises me that a fire pit is even allowed at all by the city, county, or insurance company in a VR, let alone under those conditions. It's not allowed in our hometown. On the back patio, My husband, a general contractor, noticed there was also an electrical box that ran 220 unlocked with the safety plate that is supposed to be screwed into the face of it laying on top of the box all at a height that a small child could easily acces and grab exposed wires. This was addressed with the property manager and hopefully fixed immediately, but if you stay and have kids, please beA couple of other things, getting our check-in instructions was not easy & required a few calls due to issues with a third party you have to send photos of ID to & the system has to approve. Photos were perfectly clear on my end, but system repeatedly claimed it was blurry. There is also no driveway (as was stated) to park in. Street parking only.

Great House, Awesome Location

Awesome house. So close to so many great Bend hotspots. Ryan, the property manager is awesome and is very responsive to requests. Easy check in and check out. Having a laundry room is awesome. Knocked off one star because the thermostat was set at 50 degrees when we checked in. We turned it up but it was only at 64 the following morning. The master toilet makes a very loud squak every couple of minutes so we kept the water to it off. Great house but a couple of annoying (but easily fixable) issues.

Great Location but, Filthy

Great location, walking distance to The Old Mill District. Great Restaurants! This was my first experience in a VRBO! Unfortunately, the dishes in the kitchen cabinets were dirty, etc. coffee residue in coffee cups, beer glass with foam residue. (as if the dishes were emptied from the dishwasher, but the dishwasher was never ran.) Washing machine had dirty laundry in it! Floors were dirty! Outside yard was dirty. Ceiling fans had 1/4 inch of dust. I was asked to submit a review and I sent pictures of these items to itrips management and Victor responded with sincerest apologies! I made sure, before we left that the dishes were clean in the dishwasher, as we would not want anyone to experience this. I hope that itrips walks this property and cleans it from top to bottom!

Misrepresented Backyard

Great location but the suggestion that the family might gather around the outside fire pit was completely inaccurate. Zero maintenance in the background and overgrown with weeds. Management seemed surprised and said HOA would take care of it. Not sure that the HOA has a responsibility for an enclosed backyard. Housekeeping subpar- used bloody bandaid left on floor; strands of hair on pillow. Reported all to management during stay.

Great location

Great location, very convenient to everything in Bend, short walk to Mill Station. It’s a 20+ year old unit, everything is a little worn, old appliances, linens etc but all still perfectly functional and clean. Sad little outside patio areas with just gravel and junk. Overall a good rental.
