Hello, Workawayers!
If you're interested in visiting Bend, Oregon, then your experience starts with us. The New York Times rates Bend as a top global destination for "great outdoors" and "craft brewing". Outdoor activities include hiking and climbing at Smith Rock and biking and skiing at Mt. Bachelor, among others. You'll also have a chance to tour dozens of micro-breweries.
The town of Bend is only 3.5 hours from Portland, Oregon, and only about 2.0 hours from Crater Lake National Park, and our historic house is only 2.5 blocks from downtown. Our goal is to provide an affordable, interactive experience for the adventure traveler, and we're looking forward to meeting others with the same interests and passions.
