The Mount Bachelor Village Drive Residence
Perks for the Parents
A year-round vacation condo in Bend, Oregon with access to a community pool, hot tub and bike rentals, just 20 minutes from the ski resort at Mount Bachelor. It sleeps 7 + 1. This is a luxuriously stylish and contemporary home that’s perfect for families. Enjoy cozy winter mornings at the open plan breakfast bar (where you’ll find a fully-stocked coffee station) or spend sunny evenings cooking out on the BBQ for al-fresco family meals. Parents will also find a Smart TV with Netflix in the primary bedroom, for quiet nights in after the kids go to sleep.
Why Kids Love it
This home is well set-up for family stay, with a fully-stocked kitchen including Children’s plates, cups, utensils, a pack-and-play and a high chair. The loft is full of toys for all ages and a dreamy chalkboard nook where the kids can hide under the twinkle lights and color on the walls. They’ll love playing with the pretend campfire set or testing out the ice cream maker in the cupboard! Siblings will love the bunks with a trundle bed, and there’s also a white noise machine for little ones who need a good night’s sleep. Nearby, there’s a playground that is walkable and also a seasonal Children’s pool for the warmer months.
Things to Know
Minimum stay: 2 nights during the week, 3 nights at the weekend. Safety notes: there are stairs leading to the loft without stair gates. The unit is on the 2nd floor so there are outdoor stairs leading up to the unit. The balcony railing has horizontal bars and the cozy fireplace has a childproof cover to protect little hands. The primary bedroom can be locked. There is parking and car rental is recommended.
About the Location
The residence is located 5 minutes’ drive from Old Mill district in Bend, Oregon. You’ll be in the center of all Bend has to offer, from 5-star kid-friendly restaurants, big brand stores and a cinema to local vineyards to Bend’s famous breweries! In 20 minutes you can be skiing at Mount Bachelor, or you walk right out of the door to hiking trails and water-front parks along the Deschutes River. If golfing is your thing, there are numerous golf courses in the area too. It’s 20 minutes from Redmond airport, or 3.5 hours to Portland international airport.
Accommodation Details
The condo has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, set over 2 floors. The cozy living room features a stone fireplace and leads to a balcony (with outdoor seating and a BBQ) as well as the open plan contemporary kitchen, which has a breakfast bar seating 4. This floor also has the primary bedroom (with queensize bed) and a bathroom/utility room (with a shower over bathtub and washer/dryer). Upstairs to a mezzanine floor, you’ll find the kids room with a set of bunk beds and a single trundle bed, as well as a cool swinging chair. This leads to the second bathroom with a walk-in shower and the play space. The hosts also have 1 double sofabed and 1 travel crib available.
Style Notes
Modern Boho. The hosts have recently remodeled the residence with mixed tactile textures, patterned textiles and rustic wood materials to create a relaxed, bohemian style. It still retains a smart and contemporary edge, thanks to the modern gray kitchen and sleek elegant bathrooms. Artwork is all locally sourced by artists in Bend, framed by a natural palette of neutral tones and cozy brown and red hues to create a warm, welcoming space. We love the panel design work on the primary bedroom wall, the magical forest mural in the children’s bedroom and the unique woven easy chairs in the living room.

Bend, Oregon
The sunny mountain town
With 300 plus days of sunshine per year, along with an excess of outdoor activities for kids, there’s plenty to recommend Bend. Listed as one of the 52 places to see in the world by The New York Times Travel section in 2015, it is close to ski resorts and lakes ideal for tubing, kayaking, swimming and fishing. Treat dad to a trip to a local microbrewery (they are kid-friendly too) and don’t miss the High Desert Museum, where you can meet the local wildlife.
