"This place is rightfully called stones throw"

This place is rightfully called stones throw. It was walking distance from the best breweries, cafes and parks in town. We loved the way the house is decorated and Diana’s design sensibilities. She was quick to respond when we were unable to open the hot tub. All in all it was a great find and we’ll be back soon!

"found the place to be perfect for our needs"

We were just there for a short stay while we were in town for a wedding, but found the place to be perfect for our needs. It was super walkable, spacious enough for our needs, and had lots of activities around the house (ping pong, jacuzzi, board games, etc.). We especially appreciated the complimentary coffee, which was surprisingly tasty! And Diana was very communicative and helpful! Checking in and out was a breeze. Thank you!

My husband and I stayed here while visiting my daughter. The home was adorable and in a wonderful location close to many restaurants. The breakfast coffee provided was so delicious, I went and bought a bag to take home. I loved all the little decorating touches that flowed so nicely. We had fun playing ping pong, but didn't get to use the hot tub. Next time in Bend, I will certainly try to rent here again.

I would highly recommend this cottage for your next stay in Bend!

"It's my secret..."

I'd love to tell you about the location of Branch & Thistle, and the 1/2 block walk to 10 Barrel, or 3/4 block walk to Ariana... but I'm keeping it a secret. If I told about the 20 minute walk to downtown, the hot tub, fully stocked kitchen and 3 bedrooms, you might decide to stay there sometime when I want to... so I'm keeping it to myself. We enjoyed playing ping pong and streaming HULU, but I'm not telling... so you'll have to find out on your own because it's my secret.

The house is very warm and inviting and in the perfect westside location for easy access to great breweries and restaurants nearby. The place was well stocked with all kitchen and bathroom necessities we needed. The fireplace was great to warm up next to on the cold nights and the hot tub was perfect after a day of skiing.
