Big Lava

"Airbnb Review #845706390115431909 #192240"

Bend at your finger tips! Perfect location, great place and great host.

"Big Lava was great and everything we could have hoped for!"

Big Lava was great and everything we could have hoped for! The location is perfect for exploring with the ability to walk to all the favorites in Bend. The only downside to the place is it is a pretty heavy traffic corner so may not offer as much privacy/peace as other spots. Overall it was a great place for our weekend as a family in Bend and would stay there again!

"the most welcoming and comfy spot to be with"

We absolutely loved our time here - it was our first trip away from home with our 14 week old baby…and we were FULL of nerves. The Lava spot was the most welcoming and comfy spot to be with our baby, relax after skiing 12” powder days and to eat, drink and soak SO nearby. We will definitely come back ASAP

"This location can’t be beat"

This location can’t be beat and is so wonderful for what you pay. Diana was a great host and super responsive. Would absolutely stay here again!

"The house was perfect for our needs."

The house was perfect for our needs. Walking distance to downtown and Old Mill District. The library was two blocks away which was great to take our 1.5 year old to utilize the children's indoor play area.

"We loved our stay!"

We loved our stay! The home was a great size for our family of four. Two more people would not be too crowded, just be aware there is only 1 bathroom. There were so many pluses to staying here! Amazing location (walkable to great area restaurants), washer/dryer, well stocked kitchen, outside shed for all our snow stuff, so much natural light… It is a great choice! We loved all the thoughtful extras too- the hot cocoa and coffee, the puzzles, the area recommendations, the luggage racks, the provided lotion (we needed that!). Next time we visit Bend we plan to stay here- thanks!

Great!

"Location can’t be beat"

Great stay in Bend! Very comfortable and clean and the location can’t be beat. Diana was very responsive as well.

"place is nice, located conveniently near downtown"

Diana’s place is nice, located conveniently near downtown. While the place did have some issues with the heating system, which wasn’t ideal for our family, Diana and team did work to help resolve our issue.

"exceptional location and amenities"

exceptional location and amenities. So walkable to Old Mill, Downtown, and the river front park. came with everything we could have needed for our group of 5. great communication from the super hosts.

Loved this home! Perfect in every way.

"I can't imagine a better place to stay in Bend"

I can't imagine a better place to stay in Bend. We were walking distance from all the best restaurants/cafes and a short drive from everything else we wanted to do. The house was spotless and lovely, the Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, the hosts were kind and responsive and the beds were the most comfortable I've ever slept in. (This is a rare find with three bedrooms side by side, each one with a king bed!)

"Easy walking distance to town!"

We stayed at Big Lava in Bend for three nights and found it to be fantastic. The location is easy walking distance to town and to the Historic District as well.

The house is spacious with a lot of natural light and the rooms are very good sized.

The guidebook that was provided was very helpful for looking up places to go while we were there.

I strongly recommend this place to stay if you're going to be in Bend, Oregon for any length of time.

Rare 3 bedroom with washer/dryer, full kitchen (with seasoning), that is a VERY short walk into town. Would definitely book here again.

"The location and house are very nice"

The location and house are very nice. Something to be aware of: only the living room is directly heated, meaning that the bedrooms tend to be slightly colder.

Would do again!

"Diana's team are very professional and responsive!"

Stone’s Throw and Diana and team very professional and responsive. Cannot Beat the location. Excellent parking. Clean. Basic but very well stocked - coffee maker, cups, bowls, silverware, towels, linens, PT, TP, soap!! Limited storage space for clothes but has suitcase racks as well as hangers in the closets, and some hooks scattered around. Washer/dryer functions and useful. Dishwasher functional and useful. A/C and heat very functional but only in the main room so need to allow it to heat/condition the 3 bedrooms for the overnight portion. Was actually totally fine at night with closed doors in very cold winter weather if allowed the heat to get through during the day. Cannot stress convenience of location and cleanliness of location and responsiveness of hosts. !!! Enjoy!

"This house was not only adorable!"

My family traveled to Bend to explore the city, we have never been before. Our focus was mostly on finding amazing places to eat, but having a central location was crucial. This house was not only adorable, well equipped, and very comfortable, it was the absolutely perfect location for enjoying all that Bend has to offer.

"Great place overall"

Great place overall. Very clean, location was great. The only down fall is the noise from the cars. The street tends to be a bit busy at night.

This home is sparkling clean, sleek/modern, has all of the things you could ever need and a couple of special extras, great location, easy/communicative management, and the comfiest beds!

"Very quiet and beautiful neighborhood"

Me, my husband and two adult children (18 and 21) stayed here for a week. Very quiet and beautiful neighborhood just a short walk away from stores and restaurants. House is immaculate, comfortable (even in a heat wave) and stylish. Loved our stay here!!!

"Location is great"

My family of 5 stayed here over July 4 weekend and we had a great experience. The bungalow is just like what you saw in the pictures - and the location is great.

"very impressive"

Happy one year anniversary Big Lava! Your doing a great job, A Stones Throw Bungalow! We were impressed with how quickly you responded in the night when the smoke alarm kept going off. Your willingness to come the next day to replace it was so kind. Im glad that it wasn't necessary and the rest of our stay was lovely. This home accommodated our situation very well. Moving from the valley with a baby and a toddler and needing a temporary home until our place was ready. Thank you.

"Best staycation"

We loved our stay at Big Lava! We live in Bend, but wanted some space from room mates during "Shelter in place". Big Lava was the perfect "Pandemic escape" staycation spot. It was spot to be in a new area in town.

Quiet and comfortable place to stay in Bend that is close to most of the bars in town. It also has super easy access to the highway which makes exploring things outside of town super easy as well! Thank you for being an awesome host and checking in on the stay, your place was awesome and really easy to walk everywhere. I finally got to explore more of Bend!

"The perfect spot to get away to beautiful Bend. Location was perfect..."

The perfect spot to get away to beautiful Bend. Location was perfect, just a stones throw from great restaurants, cafes and tap rooms, but in a lovely leafy quiet street. The little touches like the foam cover on the bed to make it heavenly soft to sleep on and the lovely body wash made us feel so welcome. We ate out lots, but also enjoyed cooking in, plenty of plates, pots, glasses and utensils made it easy and the sofa and benches were perfect for eating, relaxing but also for computer hook in.

"Wonderful Place for My Family of 5"

Brook and Diana’s place was a wonderful place for my family of 5 to spend a few days over July 4th. It’s very close to downtown, and had lots of nice fine touches. We didn’t need anything while there, but Brook and Diana were super responsive when we wrote (to say we were checked out). I’d definitely stay again when in Bend!

"What a Lovely Home"

Our family of four is on a cross country road trip through national parks. What a delight to arrive at such a comfortable, beautifully decorated home. The windows, the garden, we loved the artwork. Just felt like a home. The beds are heaven. We grilled salmon and veggies and had a lovely family dinner!

"Had AC, Fans, and a Clean Home to Enjoy Our Weekend. Highly Recommend!"

Great house in a perfect location to take advantage of all the fun activities, bars, restaurants, river and more! We really enjoyed our stay, had AC, fans, and a clean home to enjoy our weekend.
