Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Modern, newly built family home in beautiful Bend Oregon which is known as a summer and winter playground in the Pacific Northwest. Our home is a 5 minute walk to the stylish town of Bend, with plenty of shops and restaurants. We are located two blocks from the beautiful Deschutes River, which is popular for swimming, kayaking and stand up paddleboarding in summer. Bend is also 30 minutes from the Mt Bachelor ski resort, which is the sixth largest ski resort in North America. Bend is known as a foodie spot and boasts over 22 breweries. Located 40 minutes from the beautiful Cascades Lake region (plenty of hiking, camping and fishing), with mountain biking trails and multiple outdoor activities to keep you busy. If you prefer to venture out from Bend, Crater Lake (the deepest lake in the US with extremely blue water) is 1.5 hours away, the beautiful wine region of Willamette Valley is 2 hours away and the Oregon coast and Portland are 3 hours away.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our neighborhood is very friendly and quiet. We are located only a few minutes walk or bike to the town, restaurants and shopping. We rarely drive anywhere due to this proximity (and the fact that we love the exercise) but everything in Bend is easy to reach by car within a few minutes.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
From our house it is a short walk to the Saturday summer farmers market and the quaint and stylish downtown area of Bend with multiple shops and restaurants. Our favorite activity is to bike to one of the many breweries in town or to our favorite Italian restaurant and sit outside with a fantastic Neopolitan pizza and glass of wine or fresh IPA on tap. It's easy to walk to the river for swimming (2 blocks from our house) and we have a standup paddle board, bikes and kayak that you are free to use. In addition, if you visit in winter, we are 30 minutes away from Mt Bachelor which is a well known ski resort, the sixth largest in North America and very popular.
