You are welcome to trickle charge your electric vehicle over night while parked in back. There is a 120v power source at the parking area. If you plan to use the charger for your EV, you should bring your own extension cords (at least 30') and adapters, as they will be needed to reach the outlet. Home access is easy from the parking area. Your backdoor is under a covered porch and opens up to the backyard and parking area.
600 MBPS WIFI & SMART TV
Free wifi, of course! Enjoy 600 mbps wifi and a 50 inch smart Google/TCL TV. The TV has over 800+ free channels. Bring your streaming subscriptions to watch your favorite shows. Unfortunately, there is no ethernet connection in the home.
SHARED SPACES
Each home has its own private front and rear entrance, so there are no shared entrances. Outdoor spaces are shared. South Sister shares one wall (kitchen wall and the flat screen TV wall) with the bungalow next door. When the home was renovated in 2017, additional insulation and noise block was installed in all the walls around the home. The insulation helps so much, but the home is not soundproof.
QUIET HOURS
This home is nestled into a sweet and historic corner of downtown Bend. This is a peaceful area and is not appropriate for loud and late gatherings. Evenings are quiet but you may hear folks walking or driving by as they head for dinner at Jackson's Corner or coffee in the Box Factory. Due to shared walls, we ask all guests to be respectful of noise. City of Bend quiet hours are from 10pm to 8am and are enforced as are Bend's Good Neighbor Guidelines. Thank you for respecting our neighbors and helping everyone enjoy this retreat in Bend.
