Looking to spend February in Bend, OR. Wondering if anyone wants to do an exchange for our place in Durango, CO. We’re 30 minutes from Purgatory, 1.5 hrs from Wolf Creek, and 2.5 hours from Telluride. Or if you’re a climber and the weather’s good, we’re 2 hours 15 minutes from Indian Creek. Sunny and Spacious house in a small mountain town

That sounds like a great trip. Have you tried doing a reverse search to see if anyone in Bend wants to visit your area? https://help.homeexchange.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000730557-What-is-reverse-search-and-how-do-I-use-it
Thanks Melissa. I’m having a hard time with it. Nothing is populating even though when I look through profiles and the individuals identify Colorado as a preferred destination. Maybe there’s a glitch in the system at the moment but I’m just going through profiles at this time and doing it the old fashioned way

Oh that is odd. So just to check - when you do a reverse search and it comes up with a home that has Colorado as a preferred destination - are you then messaging these members and that are saying that they don’t wish to go to your area? This could be due to a few reasons, perhaps they have not updated their list, maybe the dates aren’t, or maybe they are looking for a different type of accommodation. Have you also tried posting on the members only Facebook group perhaps?
When I do a reverse search with Bend as the destination and Colorado, USA as the reverse search, no homes come up. I selected flexible, weekend, in December, January, and February (originally I selected 2 weeks in February and selected my home but nothing came up so I’ve been adjusting the filters to the most flexible). However, if I search homes in Bend, I see that there are people that have availability and have Colorado as their preferred destination. So I think there’s an issue with the search. I have reached out to people that way but it would be nice to do a reverse search
