Bend, Oregon, is a place to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Terrains and sights are plenty and varied so there’s always lots to do. It doesn’t come as a surprise then, that it’s a top choice for retirees, who make a significant chunk of the city’s population. As such, many of the city’s facilities and entertainment options are made by and cater to them, with a lot of outdoor activities, arts and crafts and a lot of peace and quiet. Here, we’ve compiled a list of 10 Airbnb vacation rentals that are great for older occupants - many of which have wheelchair friendly or pet-friendly compounds.
1. A suite in an even sweeter environment
If you need a quiet, functional stay with a little bit of style, here is an Airbnb room that will suit you. Small touches of trendy, chic decor give the place a little charm. Potted plants are scattered through the house to bring a sense of freshness. A spacious area, large windows, a comfortable bed and a private bathroom make your little suite for two. This private, clean environment with understanding hosts is a great place for you to get your thoughts running. Here, you are welcome to use the kitchen, the front porch, the back deck and the running room upstairs.

This modern Airbnb home full of natural light and indoor greenery has all the tranquil vibes you need to clear your mind and take a breather.

The vacation rental you will be staying in is clean and minimal with space for two guests. Space for a maximum of two other guests is available on the futon/sofa. It’s on the small side, so the owner encourages guests to hang out in the common areas. You are free to use the clean and green backyard cabana as well.
