We have used Deschutes Homebase to rent out our family home while we have taken some time abroad. They quickly found qualified tenants and have responsively managed the property in our absence. It gives us peace of mind having them there managing the rental. They have been very communicative with both tenants and us making it all go smoothly. We highly recommend their services.

We’ve been working with Deschutes Homebase since August 2023 and the experience has been great! We really had no experience in renting out our home so we basically turned everything over to Mike and Karen. They took the time to come visit us and explained the entire leasing process. They had some great ideas and were very thorough. They’ve been very responsive when we contacted them and they always followed up promptly. Overall it’s been a real pleasure and well worth the investment.

Awesome temp homebase. We rented this townhome for 11 months while waiting for our home to be built. Great neighbors, amenities and very clean new townhome. Mike and Karen from Deschutes Homebase were easy to work with and very accommodating! Highly recommend!

We stayed here for over a month and it’s a great, comfortable house. It’s also in a nice little community and you’re literally minutes (or a walk) to everything. Miles of walking and bike trails are steps from the front door too. The property managers, Mike and Karen, were super helpful and made everything easy for us. 5 big stars!

Michael and Karen, the owners of Deschutes Homebase clearly love what they do, have fun doing it, and are good at it. If you have a home sitting vacant and are considering mid-term rentals from 30 days to one year, look no more! I highly recommend Deschutes Homebase.

Our stay at the Indigo house was excellent – the house was roomy, clean and esthetically pleasing. The kitchen had all the furniture, appliances, silverware, etc. we needed on a day to day basis, and we had no issues throughout our stay. The neighborhood is quiet and pleasant with very little traffic. Our experience with Mike and Karen was perfect and to the point. We highly recommend Mike and Karen and this home.

My partner and I rented short term from Deschutes Homebase (Mike and Karen) and had a great experience. We stayed at the townhome on Purcell and had no issues during our stay. The townhome was extremely quiet – almost never heard the neighbors. The area was very safe and the neighbors were friendly. Mike and Karen were very responsive to any questions we had before and during our stay. Would highly recommend renting from them.

My fiancé and I rented 3 months through Deschutes Homebase and had the best experience! Mike & Karen are so easy to work with and always willing to give a Bend recommendation. The townhome itself was beautifully furnished and in a great location!

Loved my time on Blakely. The home was full of amazing decor, very clean, well stocked and everything was very comfortable. The Deschutes Homebase team is very responsive, friendly, and genuine in everything they do. My goal was to find and purchase a home during my time there and they were also a part of that success. Thank you Karen & Michael!

The house was perfect! The location couldn’t be better. The host was attentive to our needs and quick with responses. If I’m ever in Bend, I would definitely stay again. Thank you so much!

We so enjoyed our stay at 3716 Petrosa! It was wonderfully stocked with nice furniture and linens, as well as everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. It was also remarkably quiet, especially considering the construction happening in the neighborhood (which we rarely heard at all). In fact, the town homes were so soundproof that we almost never even heard our neighbors. We loved the short walk to Pine Nursery Park as well as the kind neighbors and supportive property management.

What are mid-term rentals?
Basically, mid-term or “executive” rentals are furnished properties with lease terms of greater than one month and less than twelve months.
Over the past few years, Bend and Central Oregon’s market for these rentals has exploded. It’s no wonder: Bend is an extremely popular destination for transplants. Remote workers and other professionals want a living situation that will present them with a minimum of hassle while they look for longer-term housing.
What are the benefits of mid-term rentals for investors?
Put simply, return on investment. Bend’s new transplants will pay a premium for the convenience of furnished housing, and investors can quickly recoup the added costs of furnishings and decorations and then some.
Mid-term rentals also offer property owners a huge amount of flexibility compared to traditional rentals, without the frequent turnaround and added risks of a VRBO (vacation rental by owner). Lease terms are capped at under a year, meaning Oregon’s relatively restrictive tenancy laws won’t kick in, and owners can adjust rents to match the reality of the market.
Why choose Deschutes Homebase?
Unlike other property management companies, we focus exclusively on furnished mid-term rentals. We know how to price them appropriately and how to reach interested tenants. We are a family-owned and operated company, and by keeping our slate of properties relatively small, we provide each and every one of our clients with an unparalleled level of attention and responsiveness.
