“I find this property a compelling blend of history and recreation, housed in a repurposed school building in Bend. The on-site brewery and theater add layers of entertainment, and the proximity to outdoor destinations like Smith Rock makes it ideal for active travelers. I think the integration of local art throughout the property gives it a distinct sense of place.”
