South Sister Bungalow Toggle favorite

This is a small, cozy, well appointed place to stay with excellent access to shopping, dining, walking paths. We had everything we needed to make small meals and relax comfortably after a day of shopping in downtown Bend. Very clean the bed is super comfortable!

Everything was perfect with our stay. Easy check in, great communication throughout. Super clean place with everything you may need to enjoy your stay. Perfect location if you are interested in downtown Bend and Old Mill District. We would definitely come back. 5 stars!!

I would totally recommend this Airbnb. I booked this about a week out and it worked out great. It’s charming and was very clean.

Diana was very responsive in her communication. Initially I tried to enter at the wrong entrance. There’s parking spaces through an alley and off the street, so the street view door is not the front door with code access, which is what I was confused on. I reached out to Diana and she was very responsive and made sure I had it correct and got in and settled. The washer/dryer does sound like it is going to launch into orbit when ran lol. But I would stay here again for sure. It was high 90’s when here and the a/c worked great. Location is pretty darn good. Great for 1-2 people.

Very cute little place. We loved how close it was to downtown and walking path! Nice neighborhood too.

I really like Diana’s place. The kitchen was well stocked even had some spices and olive oil, which I normally have to bring with me. Our stay in band was during hot summer weather. There is a glitch in the air conditioning system. There are three units, all side-by-side and if one person sets their air conditioner, temperature high, then all the units go to that temperature. We found this out from the air conditioner, repair person who came out. During our stay the first day this was a problem our temperature reached 80 indoors. We contacted Diana who told us other people had had this problem, but it usually seemed to resolve itself. Eventually, after a few hours of communication back-and-forth, she told us they had a portable air conditioner in the basement that could be brought up. The portable air conditioner solved the problem for us. But she didn’t give us that option until we told her if the problem was not resolved, we would need to be re-housed, if this was not resolved.

This was the perfect little Bungalow for our short stay in Bend. It had everything we needed and then some. Great location and super nice host. We would definitely stay again.

Great space and even better location

What a wonderful stay! This was our first visit to Bend and the bungalow was so centrally located 🙂 we could walk to Jackson corner for brunch and coffee, and less than a 3 minute drive to Old Mill District or downtown. Thanks for a great stay!

Diana’s place was perfect. We wanted a place near downtown, and the bungalow was an ideal location! Diana was so kind, responsive, and helpful. She replies quickly to any questions and is extremely helpful. The place had all the amenities, and it was very peaceful. It was a perfect fit for our needs, and I will book it again.

We know Bend well, having relatives there for many years, and having had a condo there for several years in the past. This place provided a nice central location to get to our relatives, take walks, and find food from.

Charming little bungalow with lots of character. Easy walk to Jackson’s Corner for coffee! I will come back!

My wife and I stayed at the 'South Sister' bungalow and really enjoyed our time in Bend. Diana was very responsive with clear instructions. The place was clean and tidy. It was walkable to everything in Bend and very quiet. I would highly recommend it for anyone traveling to / through Bend.

Immaculate bungalow in perfect location for exploring Bend area. Seven minute walk downtown to enjoy coffee on the waterfront and walk the park. The communication was professional, bungalow exquisitely decorated and so well stocked. We loved having a washer and dryer available mid trip. Will be back to visit next time we are in Bend.

We had a fantastic stay. it is super close to everything. Diana was fantastic pre checking in. It's a perfect location.

Small, comfortable space near the heart of Bend. I found the heat pump unit directly over the head of the bed a little disruptive to sleep so ear plugs could be helpful to sensitive sleepers.

The little lava was amazing and cozy! Had a bunch of cute and delicious restaurants all within walking/biking distance. The Airbnb itself was clean and had all the necessities. Diana was super responsive and helpful. I forgot my keys after check out and she was able to coordinate with the cleaning service and shipped my keys within a couple of days. Would stay here again if I am in the area.

Great location!

A great stay in a perfect location walking distance from everything we needed downtown!

Great place to stay in Bend! A short drive to the river, as well as multiple restaurants and bars. The cottage is small, but nice and cozy- great for a couple, as well as a few dogs, in our case. Diana was proactive in her communication and provided clear instructions from check-in to check-out

Our stay at Little Lava was fantastic! It really is right in the heart of the Old Mill District and super walkable which is great. The space is the perfect size for two and I loved that there was a full kitchen and king sized bed (which was actually comfortable). We didn’t use the bikes this time around, but that was also a nice perk!

This may have been the best AirBnB we've stayed in. This small home was cozy, comfortable and full of light. We could walk downtown in just a few minutes to explore Bend, find food, go to the Farmers market or have a cup of coffee. We walked to the mill for delicious ramen. Walked over to the river walk. After each foray out, we came home to a warm haven. We sat outside in the front patio in the sunny afternoon. It was such a pleasure to be in a super clean, well equipped place with easy entry and easy locking each time we went out. I appreciated the messages welcoming us, giving us information, and making departure easy with clear instructions. Diana was quickly responsive the one time I had a question. There were even bikes to use! All in all a great experience.

Very small place, basically one room, but cute. Owner was responsive though. Wrong code for door sent Initially, but she quickly responded with the right code. Booked for 4 nights for 250 a night (which honestly is pricey for a one room) and when I asked to extend, the price went up to 330 for the other nights without telling me. Overall though the place is cute and allows dogs which was nice!

I loved the space and the super comfy bed. Great location. I had some difficulty with unlocking the door to get in, but the support by text was super fast and super helpful. Would recommend!

Great location for exploring Bend by foot! The home was exactly as pictured and described. Couldn’t beat the location! Also nice to have a private spot to park. Although we didn’t use them, the bikes are a nice perk.

Great location. Nice and clean. Would love to stay again!

Very well equipped kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom
Has most anything you might need during your stay
Great neighborhood and so close to downtown shopping and restaurants
Extremely Comfortable bed
Very cozy and cute little bungalow

A great walkable spot in old town Bend! A wonderful stay and would come back next time I am in town.

Fantastic place in the heart of Bend. Diana was very helpful throughout and the place is very well-equipped with lots of nice touches. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

We had a great time at Little Lava! The place was clean, comfy, and cozy. It was well stocked with kitchen and bath basics, and we enjoyed the table and chairs outside since the weather was so lovely. We borrowed the 2 bikes for a nice ride down to the Old Mill District, and we walked each evening to dinner in downtown. Highly recommend this spot!

We had a great stay, easy to walk to downtown, had everything we needed. We would absolutely stay again.

Great place to stay if you want to walk around the downtown area. Diana was communicative and helpful! Couldn’t have had a better experience.

Little Lava was great! Exactly as pictured, with reserved parking. 5 min walk to downtown and Drake Park. It was perfect, definitely recommended

Great location and walkable to many shops, restaurants, and bars. The place is pretty small, but has everything you need. Definitely pretty pricey for what you get, but that's going to be all over Bend. Only problem we ran into was some bugs in the place but that's typical for this time of year. Still would come back if I'm ever in Bend again.

What a cute gem! My husband and I are on a 2-week road trip from Seattle to S.F. (by the way of Bend, Bandon, Eureka, and Healdsburg). We enjoyed staying at your lovely cottage. A great place to relax after hiking and the LavaButte. We really enjoyed the nature, food (yum). Everyone here is so kind. Best of luck!

Excellent communication. Very cute place. Maximizes the space. Perfect
Location. Would definitely come again, thank you!

Can’t beat this location!

Little Lava was the perfect spot. It was a one-minute walk before we hit the downtown area and about a five-minute walk to the river. The neighborhood was clean, quiet, and felt safe. Diana, our host, was responsive and kind. The house was clean and absolutely perfect! Having a BBQ and bikes available made our stay even more enjoyable! Can not recommend enough!

We visited Bend for the first time this weekend to celebrate our first wedding anniversary! So glad we were able to bring the dogs along! This location truly is a stone’s throw away from everything! We had such a blast exploring and using it as a homebase between local brewery/restaurants and parks around the Bend area! We hope to return soon!

We celebrated our one year anniversary in Bend and at the Little lava. So thankful to bring the dogs along! We checked our Tumalo Falls. Explored town by eating/drinking our way through it. Grabbed some trail dogs from worthy brewing co down the road. Enjoyed them in patio space.
Thanks for the best stay!

We loved staying at Diana‘s. The directions or concise the location was an geographically perfect for what we wanted to do. We went to a concert on Saturday at the Hayden Amphitheater, and then we spent the day discovering Bend on Sunday. The location was perfect for what we wanted to do.

I had so much fun at this location! It’s a little pricey but it was my birthday so it was a splurge. It’s so close to downtown and all the restaurants and shops, I didn’t need to drive anywhere for all the days I was there. The house is basically a tiny house, but has all the amenities you need. It was super clean and the kitchen was well-stocked with everything you need to cook anything! The details are what impressed me most: from good organic soaps, trash bags, coffee with cream in fridge, to just the way the guestbook and recommendations were sitting out for me to look over. It felt homey, safe, and comfortable. Everything I needed! Thank you so much.

This cozy cottage is in a great location, and is the perfect place to rest after an active day of exploring. Everything was as described, and the stay was great! Thank you!

For a downtown Bend experience with everything at your fingertips, this is the place to stay! Bright, cozy, comfy, close to all the fun restaurants and shops, and pet friendly! We loved our stay here and can’t wait to come back again.

Will definitely stay here again. Perfect location and great place for a dog. Loved the small fenced front yard.

What a lovely stay my wife, dog and I had! Coming in May when the weather is nice was perfect. It was also a bonus to be here to witness the Paddle event. Had a great time eating, drinking and shopping downtown for a bday celebration. We will be back!

This is the 3rd place of Diana’s I’ve stayed at and my experiences have always been amazing. This time was no exception. Perfect location, has everything you need, relaxing.

Fabulous location. Clean cute place. Highly recommended!

This space is cozy and close to all the great restaurants, bars, and shops in Old Bend. The bed was super comfy and the couch and electric fireplace were a nice place to lounge. The kitchen was well equipped and the bathroom was nice. The hosts are proactive and responsive. All around this place is lovely and a great deal, would definitely recommend!

Diana’s place was the perfect location for night life, bike rides and walks around downtown! Thank you!

Great little place right in town. The bed is super comfortable and the house has everything you need. Host is very helpful. Loved it.

We had an excellent stay, the place had everything we needed and much more. Fully stocked kitchen utensils and appliances. Extra blankets, and heater quickly heated up the room. Slightly smaller than expected, but you can easily close the privacy curtains to separate the living room and ‘bedroom’ in the studio (all one room, no physical separation).

Thanks for being here, Little Lava. We had a sweet weekend visiting our grown-up kids, newcomers to Bend, and discovering a few new things (old to Bend) together. We certainly appreciated this cozy, comfortable spot near everything with hosts who've thought of everything.

Little Lava is a sweet, well-stocked, cozy, comfy tiny home. Diana thought of and supplied everything a guest could need, including a very comfortable bed. Also, the place was spotless. We loved being able to walk everywhere. Early April was still a little too cold for the bikes supplied, but - though we’d love to come back and cruise around on them - we didn’t need them to access Bend’s amazing restaurants, coffee spots, and taprooms.

Diana was an absolute pleasure to book with extremely responsive and helpful! Plus the place had all the little details thought out everything you needed was there. Would definitely stay again.

This is a great spot to explore Bend! If you’re a walker, you’ll rarely need your car. If you’re not a walker, there’s plenty of food and drink next door. Would definitely stay again!

amazing location, dedicated parking, fully stocked kitchen and adorable accommodations!

The bungalow was great! I cannot wait to stay there with my pups again. The place was in a great location, easily walkable to great shops and food (5-7min walk) It is also only about 30min to Mt. Bachelor. Check in was a breeze and parking was super convenient. The place allows dogs, but you could not tell there had ever been dogs there before. My pups loved the front yard. Diana was very quick to respond to any questions and made sure that you knew she was there for anything you needed.

Really convenient location, walking distance to bars, restaurants, shops and the park! Diana was on top of everything making sure everything was ok. Would definitely stay again!

awesome location and diana was super helpful/responsive

Incredible cozy place right in the heart of bend! Location could not be better, will be on the lookout for this place the next time we ski Mt. Bachelor!

My husband and I really enjoyed having this as our home base for a couple nights while we were traveling for work. The home is in an extremely walkable area of downtown Bend, my husband was able to get around while I used the rental car to drive to a jobsite an hour plus away for half the day. The space was super clean, the shower had plenty of pressure and good hot water. We appreciated the local coffee for our first mornings pot. Linens were very nice and the bed was very comfortable. I would look to stay here again when coming to Bend.

Great little cottage close to everything. Super comfortable. Highly recommend.

We loved our accomodations and the fact we could have our fur babies with us. We will be back.

Diane is a great host! She was extremely attentive, and very helpful. Our place was fully stocked with every you need in a rental. Clean, and within walking distance to downtown! I would rent this house again!

Would stay here again, so cute and cozy!

Such a great place!! It is right downtown and was a 2-3 minute walk to the best restaurants and bars in Bend. Diana was awesome and very easy to communicate with. We will definitely stay again! Cannot recommend this place enough.

Staying at the Little Lava was such a lovely get away for me and my husband! It is the perfect little house in the best location. Will definitely be staying here again!

Great little place, within walking distance of all the great places in Bend!

The location of Little Lava is ideal. It is steps from downtown, but is still quiet. Extremely clean, well supplied. We visited during winter and the mini-split kept us warm and cozy. Excellent, communicative and helpful host. We will be back!

Excellent location, cute cottage, spotless. We love visiting bend and plan on staying at little lava again.

The studio was a great location and just what we were looking for.

My husband and I came for a short getaway and this was the perfect place to stay! It was cozy and had everything we needed to be comfortable. Being so close to downtown was very convenient. Would definitely stay again!

It was a great stay! Very nice and cozy! Walkable distance to Bend downtown and pubs!

Great stay! Very clean home.

Lovely stay.

Diana's home was so cozy and we loved that we could walk everywhere in Bend! Diana was very helpful with any questions and recommendations. We really enjoyed our time in Bend!

One piece of advice when checking in--there are two houses side by side with the same address--this one also has #2 after the main address.

The location was perfect; being able to walk downtown without having to park was a real gift, and it is basically across the street from McMenanmins! The bed was super comfy and the space was cozy. Would definitely stay here again!

Awesome cozy place in a great location! Will definitely try and stay here again when we visit Bend next!

I was very happy with my stay! The location was perfect…walking distance from all I needed. Great internet speeds, comfortable and easy in every way.

Such a cool little place! And amazing location.

Great little cottage, easy check in, perfect location.

This location is great. We were able to walk to restaurants and breweries. It was nice to have a little fenced yard for our dog.

Great walkable location. Super comfortable and we’ll equipped. We liked the private fenced yard for our pup. Definitely recommend!!

Pros: Location can’t be beat. Were able to walk easily to everything in downtown Bend. Cute place. Small enclosed yard for the pup. Diana was super responsive. Overall would absolutely recommend as a place to stay in Bend.

Cons: The parking space has deceiving clearance issues and it broke off a plastic guard under our car when we arrived, so be careful if you have a low clearance vehicle. And the shower drain was clogged so we had to take short showers and had to stand in puddles of water when we showered.

We absolutely loved our stay at Little Lava! It was perfect for the two of us and our Chihuahua, Joey Tapatio. He adored it! Five stars for everything! Enjoyed the trick or treats, coffee and other nice touches throughout. Bed was super comfy, the fenced yard was great and location ideal...just a few blocks to Downtown Bend. Cozy and very dog friendly. Diana was super as a host. We'll be back!

This is an AMAZING little spot in a perfect location in Bend - just steps from downtown! It was the perfect size for two & a dog, and we really appreciate the thoughtful touches within the space. We can't wait to go back!

Super cute little studio -- very close to downtown and plenty of restaurants, bars, etc, etc. Easy access to the highway. Has all the things you'd need for a quick trip to Bend!

Everything was great and the location was awesome. We would love to come again.

We've stayed in a lot of places in Bend. This one is my favorite. Great location, well appointed, and very comfortable.

A very cute little house in a great central location! I had some questions and they were answered promptly. The owner is great to work with.

The location of this home was excellent!! Also loved how communicative the host was with me, checking in throughout my stay to make sure we didn’t need anything.

Diana is an amazing host! Very communicative and there for you if you need but honestly this Airbnb is so perfect that you won't need anything. Great location right next to downtown and walking distance everywhere. The bikes were a great touch too. If you're looking for a nice place to stay in Bend this is it!!

Fun visit back to Bend for my 26th birthday week. Cutest cottage with perfect location to coffee, food and nightlife.

This is a great little place! It was clean and comfy. Proximity to downtown and the mill district makes it very convenient to do a walkabout and have one more beverage.

What a cute lil place. We had a great time seeing Kenney Chesney and playing in Bend. Location was awesome! Thank you for sharing your home!

We had a wonderful stay at the Little Lava Bungalow! Perfect for the 2 of us and our pup!
We enjoyed being so close to so many things, we cold walk everywhere! Cant wait to come back to Bend!

Very cozy and cute place. Wonderful location , quiet neighborhood and really couldn't of asked for a perfect place for a stay. Enjoyed multiple restaurants and bars as well as walk to the farmers market mid week,

Had a wonderful stay in this cute little house. Great place to people watch and close to everything!
Thanks for sharing this home with us.

My partner and I plus our dog stayed at Little Lava for the 4th of July. The location is truly amazing and all the things you need for an airbnb are provided. It's a perfect spot for a little getaway!

Little Lava is the perfect home base for a trip to Bend. It was walkable to tons of restaurants and breweries and an easy drive to hikes and other outdoor activities. The house was very clean and check in was easy. The place is dog friendly and they even left a dog bowl and other dog supplies. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to others!

We had a great time in Bend and enjoyed our stay at Little Lava. The dogs had a great time hiking and loved laying out in the yard in the sunshine.
We loved being able to walk to good restaurants and breweries. We would love to come back!

Diana's place was perfect for the two of us plus our pup! Great location, was able to walk everywhere! Would highly recommend it to anyone going to Bend!

This is a great place to stay!! Easy walking to everything, access to bikes if you want to venture farther, and a modest drive to some great hikes. It was clean and well appointed and Diana was an exceptional host! Truly a great experience.

Great little place to stay.
LOCATION!!! Walk everywhere! Our dogs loved the fenced in yard. Everything you need and super cozy.

We absolutely loved our stay at little lava! It has everything you need for a couple an am absolutely amazing location. It was so nice to come home after a long day of nearby parking and not use the car again until the next morning.

Fabulous location and spot!

We had an amazing time in Bend and would love to come back. It was the perfect place to relax and celebrate getting engaged the day before!

Very convenient location for walking to downtown district. We had everything we needed in this tiny home. Extra bonus was fenced in small park half a block a way were our dog could be off leash and socialize. Perfect rental for a couple and their furry friend.

Lovely little bungalow for two. Perfect location with everything in walking distance!

We had a wonderful week at this perfect little bungalow for 2 plus our fur child!
Cozy, warm and all the amenities! We loved enjoying wine on the patio and watching the deer walk by in the morning.
We love Bend and look forward to coming back!

We loved staying at Diana’s place! It was clean, cozy and had everything we needed. We enjoyed riding around on the provided bikes in the shed. Would definitely stay again at Diana’s place when visiting Bend!

Great location and the perfect size for my husband and I and our dog. It was nice to have a little yard for her as well. Would definitely stay again

Diana is a great communicator and super prompt. We had to cancel our trip due to weather unfortunately but I can say the location is unbeatable.

Great, central location. Like most Airbnb’s, the bed and the couch were OK. The entire home was spotless though and I’m a very cleaning person. Would still choose this location over most since it’s walking distance from everything in central Bend!

Little Lava is a wonderful, cozy place to stay in the heart of downtown Bend. Highly recommend it!

Adorable little space! Diana and Team are wonderful hosts and I absolutely would stay here again!

Lovely place to stay while exploring Bend and central Oregon!

Really enjoyed our stay at Little Lava. The house was cute, had a very well equipped kitchen, bed was super comfy, and the location couldn’t have been more ideal- within walking distance of many of our favorite spots in Bend!! We will be recommending this spot to our friends and family for future trips.

True to its name. Little Lava is a small accommodation, but it is in a great neighborhood with a dog park a chuck-it throw away, downtown shops and running trails along the river within a few blocks. Perfect directions and seamless communication made arrival, access, check-in and check-out a breeze. The home was a nice little efficiency with everything we (2 adults, one dog) needed! Such a wonderful place that we will be back, I am sure.

A small cozy house located in a prime area of Bend right next to a ton of delicious restaurants, breweries and coffee shops.

Nice stay

Great location within walking distance to a bunch of things. The house is cute and well maintained. Hope to be back!

Great location. Close to everything.

This little house has it all, location, amenities, and a great host that is super communicative and sincerely cares about the quality of your stay. I am definitely booking this again!

The place was great!
I moved here a couple months ago and my girlfriend came to visit. We had the best time!
Thank you for everything!

A great location walking distance from everything you could need. Fully fenced yard.

Great, comfortable place with everything you’d need. Walking distance to bars, restaurants, river, and grocery store. Our dog loved having a little yard too.

Great location! Leave the car in the driveway and walk! Just a block from downtown.

Comfy tiny house in a great location. Safe, easy access, and fun. Great stay!

Nice, cozy getaway in an awesome location.

Loved this cute place in a pefect location downtown. Nice thoughtful touches in the house and great communication. Really enjoyed our stay.

Amazing location and really cute house.

The location was great for walking to all of the restaurants and shops downtown.

Great location with a super convenient parking space for unloading your stuff. Very comfortable bed and bedding, with curtains to snugify the sleeping space (and block out light from the electronics).

Clean, great location and communication, thoroughly enjoyed this home away from home.

Comfy! Great location so we could walk for coffee, food and shopping. We went to fat bike in Wanoga and Smith Rock for some hiking and we looked forward to coming back to our home away from home. Thanks for adding to our great Bend experience!

Wonderful place, very quiet at night and the location is perfect.

Fantastic location and very responsive owners. Will definitely be return customers.

Great little house close to everything. I had a great stay! Diana was super responsive and helpful and the place is super cozy and comfortable!

Great spot and good location. Dog friendly and cozy.

Perfect little house to stay in the heart of Bend. There are many shops and restaurant walking distance in every direction. The house was nicely clean and well equipped for our stay. It was the perfect size for the two of us and our dog. We hope to return someday in the future!

Mixed emotions- GREAT location. Bad communication- although the hosts automated text were helpful.

The good: amazing location! great price! Well stocked kitchen and house. Perfect size for two people with doggies- and a fenced yard! Even better! Heat and AC worked beautiful, cable tv and internet access.

The bad:
One of the bikes that was advertised had a flat tire, when i messaged them about this (the day when planned to bike around town), I never heard back. The shower had been draining slowly and when we tried to shower close together the shower overflowed all into the bathroom. I hope they fix these things.

Great spot in downtown bend. Near everything and parking was a breeze. A full sized 2500 fit just fine in the assigned parking spot. Able to bike to anywhere! Would LOVE to return.

Little Lava was just what we were looking for during our first visit to Bend. Very convenient location and so nice to be able to walk everywhere and not get into the car to explore.

Little Lava is in THE perfect location and a great size for two. The bikes were a great way to get around town.

Fantastic location, quiet neighborhood, peaceful setting. A great spot to spend a few days. Left the car parked and walked everywhere. Listing is exactly as shown, the property managers are quick to respond to text messages. Overall a great stay!

If you’re looking for an affordable rental within walking distance of downtown Bend and even the Old Mill District, this place is perfect.

We loved Little lava and absolutely loved being so close to downtown. We were happy to have a full sized refrigerator and dishwasher. Such a comfy bed and a great shower!
The highlights were the High Desert Museum, Paulina lake, Paulina Falls, Lava trails and the old town of Sisters.
The food was delicious! We loved Hola, Bosa and Sintra. We had such a super time amidst the beauty of Central Oregon.

We enjoyed little lava and loved being so close to downtown. We were happy tp have a full sized refrigerator and dishwasher. Comfy bed and great shower! We had such a special time amidst the beauty of Central Oregon celebrating our 34th anniversary

Cute little house in a fun part of Bend, walkable to all the great restaurants and breweries in downtown! Family & pet friendly!

This stay was amazing for a getaway in bend. Great location, lots of communication from the hosts and loved all the amenities they provided for us. Perfect for any time of year!

We had a great time at this little cottage. The location is perfect. We parked the car and walked the entire weekend. The listing was accurate and an easy check in/check out process. We will definitely be staying here again!

Thank you for providing such a lovely home base for me and my pup. The location is unbeatable! This was just the right size for us! The space is adorable and the bed is so comfy!
Laura and Denny (pup)

Great to have a lodging so close to Downtown Bend, we enjoyed our after dinner walks each night up a different street. Always going through Troy field so our puppy Abby could have her run around in open space.
Don't miss the Broom Closet at McMenamins!
We enjoyed Marion berry ice cream at Goodys as well as coffee fudge gelato from Cravins Candy Emporium.
Pine Tavern serves delicious meal on the back porch facing the river- Dogs allowed!
Also Pastinos at the Old Mill, again dogs allowed and its along the river.
A trip to Smith Rock is a great way to start the day!
Thank you again!
Bonnie, Gary and Abby

Great location! And the perfect size for 2. LOVED Bend! Spent most of our days climbing at Smith Rock. Tumalo Falls here is beautiful and don't miss the whitewaters along the Deschutes River!
Thanks
Joe and Cece

Such a cute Bungalow to spend a girls weekend in bend! a great location to walk downtown for food, shopping and night life. We did the ATV near Lava National Park and hiked the Tumalo Falls! Both were amazing and beautiful!
sisters
Erica from Houston Texas and
Shelly from Grants pass oregon.

We enjoyed our stay in bend thanks to this cozy place within walking distance to the park. Beautiful neighborhood.

Our dog piper enjoyed this dog friendly city. We especially liked the “Good dog trail off leash dog area.” Beautiful hike by the river and a happy free dog!

The victorian cafe had the most amazing breakfast. We ate there twice.

This is the first time we stayed in bend even though my husbands family lives in Redmond or.

Our stay in this cottage really made our vacation special.

Thank you we will be back again.
Pamela, Jason and piper. (The dog.)

Thank you for a lovely stay at Little Lava Cottage. My dog Lucy and I had a wonderful time mountain biking and hiking. Even a little shopping! Phils trails are awesome as is Peterson Ridge trails. Misery Ridge at Smith Rock was a highlight!
We hope to come back to Bend soon!
Roxan and Lucy

Can’t beat the location of this place. Downtown is just a few mins walk. It’s very quiet. Oddly, when the neighbor slams their car door the houses shakes but that’s about it for noise. Great kitchen. Good wifi. The little yard is helpful if you have a pup and is an awesome place for a sunny breakfast. Nothing negative, but some personal preferences: Couch is okay. A bit too much for the space and over squishy for my taste. I’m not a fan of the bed. It was a spring mattress with a thick foam topper. It was too squishy for me, made it hard to move. It was made like a hotel, where the duvet cover is just laying on top of the duvet and the sheets are thin and smell commercial washed. Bed is #1 for me when I travel though. There is also no room for a nightstand so you can’t have water or phone by the bed. Not a dire issue, just pointing it out.

Thank you for creating the perfect getaway spot for our trip back to Bend! We got to see some of our favorite spots and our pup loved getting to hang out and play in the yard.
This Bungalow is such a great little spot for a staycation and we can't wait to come back in the summer!
Allie, Jake and Addie (the dog)

This was not our first visit to Bend, but the first time for the winter season. This was the perfect accommodation for walking to a lot of our favorite places. Thanks for the effort to put into making this adorable cottage a great place to stay. Will recommend and definitely be back!
John and Tarra

A perfect birthday weekend! Sunshine and a change of scenery made this the perfect mini vacation! We enjoyed the Victorian Cafe breakfast, ventured to sisters for some snowshoe adventure and coffee. Thanks so much for a great weekend.
Laura and Jon

A great stay in Bend and our first trip of 2021! We even got a wonderful, powdery snow fall!
Little Lava is so cute and perfect location! Hope to be back.
Terri and Anthony

Our stay at the little house on Lava Lane was simply PERFECT! We've been to Bend many times during both summer and the winter and always get to stay at hotels. We wanted something special this time. We are newly weds and have just gotten into Nordic skiing. The house was in the perfect location! Although the restaurants are closed to indoor dining we sat by the fire at McMenamins and we had a wonderful time. Happy Holidays!
Marty and Jenn

Great location- cottage is small but mighty has everything one could need . Comfy king size bed , fire place , kitchen fully equipped. Fenced yard was a huge bonus for dogs . Will stay again and again when in Bend .

This spot is actually perfect! It's your own standalone hotel-room-sized spot just around the corner from downtown and neighborhoods. We are in the market of potentially buying a place in Bend and this was just so essential for having quick access to the downtown and minutes away from the other neighborhoods. The bungalow itself is tidy, clean, inviting, has lots of amenities including blender, stove etc for a nice cozy stay. It was also very quiet here despite being near the down town. I was able to peacefully get a few hours of work in at the dining table between our neighborhood visits. We brought our doodle and the 3 of us were perfectly comfortable for the weekend. 10/10 would stay here again.

Loved our stay in Bend! Great breweries, restaurants and coffee! This was the perfect COVID getaway!
Thanks

A lovely and very convenient place from which to explore Bend and the surrounding areas. Hiking, beers and delicious food made for a wonderful stay.
Thank you

We loved out stay at Little Lava! The little cottage was the perfect outdoor getaway. Many hours logged this weekend hiking and kayaking. This was the perfect place to come home to at the end of a long day of adventuring. Be sure to get out on the bikes and check out some of the tasty breweries, and do not pass up the opportunity to eat at Jacksons Corner! Thank you Stones Throw for the awesome stay! We will definitely be back.

Excellent little place, perfect for enjoying an afternoon of sun and playing fetch with a pup in the back yard! Walking distance to just about everything you could want and the place was nice and tidy when I arrived.

I love Bend cause it just the right size and because my son lives here now. This cozy cottage is quite extra special because i had a cozy space of my own. Plus I stayed for 2 nights. The BBQ was perfect for dinners and I enjoyed eating it outside.
The lava Cottage location is the best. I didn't realize how close it was to downtown and the Box Factory/ Old Mill area. Also the River walk which is a must for me. Everything I wanted while I was visiting.
Thank you for your hospitality.

Thank you A Stones Throw! We enjoyed our breakfast out in the front yard and the perfect proximity to everything. We can't wait to get back to Bend soon!

We needed to be in Bend for work reasons and had a fantastic stay with our 4 doggies! We walked morning and evening around downtown bed. The tiny house was perfect and the yard couldn’t be better.

I have been to Bend a few times and this was my first time staying within downtown- it was awesome! We were surprised how close McMennimins was which was nice to hit up after a long drive. A super cute space and enjoyed the larger sized bed.

This little house is perfect. Cute, clean, centrally located. Heck, right downtown and a herd of muledeer walked right down the street. It is highly walkable to lots of places, close to running paths, stores and more. I'd definitely seek this place out again.

Everything from booking to staying and checkout was well organized, straight forward and easy which made for a pleasant and enjoyable experience. Thank you! Moreover, I can not express how important it was to us that we could have our dogs with us. They were the reason for our stay, after all, as we are attending a dog training workshop. This enabled our weekend and was a giant blessing. Thank you for offering your place in a dog friendly fashion!!

There isn’t a better location to stay than this cozy home. The front yard is an extra special treat. 1 space of off street parking. You can walk to downtown, to the river, to old mill, or to a new area with restaurants and shopping just south. Make sure to check out Podski on Thursdays with live music. Will definitely stay here next time I’m in Bend. Highly recommend!!

Super cute and cozy cottage perfect for a couple. Walking distance to many bars and restaurants and a beautiful park along the river. Very clean and stocked with all the necessities to make your stay comfortable.

Perfect location, only a block away from great restaurants and the downtown area, we were able to walk everywhere. The yard was perfect with our dog, and AC was incredible for the 90 degree days!

We had the most amazing time here in Bend with our dog. We went to 10 of the 18 breweries on the Bend Ale Trail with our dog, and Smith Rock State Park. This has definitely been one of our favorite trips and we will be back. AC was amazing!

What a great little airbnb! The location could not have been better, the house while small, was bigger than I expected and was perfect for two of us and our dog. Super clean, great amenities and private parking spot was amazing! Fast communication also! I would absolutely return!

This lovely little house is perfectly located on a quiet street that is only a few minutes by foot from the heart of downtown. The house is small, but so well laid-out and appointed that it feels bigger. We loved sitting on the patio in the evening. Lots of amenities and helpful but unobtrusive hosts made the experience perfect.

Adorable little space! Very comfy bed and an ideal location. Clean and well-stocked. All you could want!

We had an amazing girls trip this weekend at Little Lava! The house is so cozy and adorable and we hope to come again! Thank you!

Wonderful property perfectly located. Just what I needed for a couple of nights stay while visiting my daughter here in Bend. Highly recommend!

This is a wonderful little gem in the heart of Old Bend. The outdoor living area is really nice. I really liked the simplicity and comfort. I would not recommend for more that 2 people, it’s about the size of a studio apartment but the outdoor living space doubles it.
