Spend any amount of time in Bend, Oregon and the first thing you’ll notice are the mountains—specifically, the Cascade Mountains. They are a beautiful, sometimes imposing part of the landscape and an important part of the economy here in Bend. Many of our outdoor activities are centered on the mountains, whether we’re hiking, biking, or skiing mountain trails, mountain climbing, or rafting down the rushing rivers that cut between mountain gorges. The city of Bend began as a crossing point on the Deschutes River and has become the bright spot of Central Oregon today. When you vacation in our mountain and city view vacation rentals in Bend, you’ll be able to enjoy the best of both mountain wilderness and city life.

Guests The Mountains Near Our Vacation Rentals in Bend
Located on the edge of the Deschutes River, Bend, Oregon is nestled up against the Cascade Range of snow-capped mountains. The Cascades run from British Columbia on over to northern California. The range forms part of the Pacific Ocean’s Ring of Fire, which explains the large number of volcanoes (active and non-active) in the area, and are part of an almost continuous range of mountains extending down into South America. A few of the range’s most famous peaks are Mount Rainier, Mount Hood and Mount St. Helens. In fact, Bend is one of just six cities in the US to have an extinct volcano (Pilot Butte) within the city limits.
Historic Downtown Bend
Created by fur trappers, lumberjacks, miners, and pioneers in the early 1800s as they moved further west onto land occupied by Native Americans, Bend has made the transition from an old mining and sawmill town to an active, vibrant city full of brewpubs, five-star restaurants, unique shopping experiences and more.
Taking a walk down the streets of Bend is like stepping back in time. Just ignore all the cell phones for a minute and focus on the historic buildings that line the streets. There’s everything from wood “Wild West” and stucco Mission styles to a few Deco buildings like the old Tower Theater thrown into the mix.
It’s easy to keep yourself oriented in Bend too, just keep an eye out for Pilot Butte, the old extinct volcano that’s right in town. A climb to the top of the scrubby butte will give you a bird’s eye view of this picturesque city.
You Don’t Have to Choose
One great thing about Bend is that you don’t have to choose between staying near your favorite outdoor activities and your favorite less-active, indoor activities. Our vacation rentals in Bend with mountain views may feature amazing views of Mt. Bachelor, the Three Sisters or Black Butte, but they are still close to downtown Bend and all its comfortable amenities. Our vacation rentals in Bend that overlook the Old Mill and downtown Bend are just minutes away from ski-lifts, hiking trails and more.
It’s good to be close to both because after a long day of exploring the wonders in the nearby Newberry National Volcanic Monument, hiking through the Deschutes National Forest, or skiing down Mt. Bachelor, you’ll need a little down time. Relax in one of the area spas, or settle down in the Deschutes Brewery for a few brews after a delicious steak dinner at Bos Taurus or The Blacksmith. Trying to eat more responsibly? Dine at Deeply Rooted or Salud Live Kitchen before the brew pub.
