We have loved our week here. One of our favorite things about the house was the huge table. We loved being able to seat everyone comfortable and enjoy our family meals together. We were here for our family reunion and appreciated the roominess – with space for every one of all ages. The kitchen was well appointed, the ping pong table was a huge hit and the view of the lake was beautiful. Thank you for sharing tour beautiful comfortable home.

We had a great time! Our friends and Family came out here to get away and relax and your house totally helped accomplish our goal! We went to the lake, slept underneath the stars (saw the best and biggest shooting star ever!) ate great food and spent good quality time with our friends! In all honesty, your house was a huge blessing. You have a beautiful home.Thank you fro sharing!

Our Family Reunion was Grand. We shared plenty of laughs, jokes, songs, foods and thoughts together. We boated on the reservoir, picnicked and played till the sun went down (or if the wind picked up). Thank you so much for sharing the house with us.

From the moment we walked through the door our hearts were captured. The house is spectacular! The view stunning! There is breathtaking beauty to behold, both inside and out. This was a time of solitude for our family--just the 3 of us. The first day we were greeted by a rainbow reaching over the lake. Another day, from the master bedroom, the view gave way to an eagle soaring across the sky, slowing down just in time to amazingly land in the trees right outside our unbelievable private view. The artwork and décor offer a positively perfect feast for your senses. This is a place of campfire wilderness with exquisite luxury. Late one evening a full moon lit up the lake so beautifully, you could do nothing more than stare in awe at the magnificent picture perfect view, that was very real, right before our eyes. Your home is a haven of luxury wrapped in a ribbon of peace. With grateful hearts we thank you for opening your, beautiful beyond words, home and sharing it with our family. Thank you very, very much. Mark, Sandie and Matthew

I'm not sure where to begin, this was truly the best vacation rental home we have stayed in Oregon. The whole rental process was easy and smooth. There is plenty of room for everyone (5 adults, 3 kids in our party more than enough room to spare) and lots of games/activities for the kids. Everything was top of the line and clean, as stated. The kitchen is incredible and the fireplace is gorgeous and cozy in the evening. We loved watching snow flurries through the huge windows our first day (the views are spectacular), and walking down by the reservoir collecting rocks in the sunshine the next. Late night hikes, roasting sausage dogs and telling stories around the fire pit made us all happy, it really felt like we owned the entire hillside. We all need some real time away once in awhile and this is the perfect choice.

High Desert Museum, shopping-Bend; Hiking-Smith Rock State Park! The deck is my favorite spot! We finished the puzzle -12:06 am 8-8!! Danny-Colorado Great walk down to the gate for exercise after sundown by the light of the full moon. Good AA meetings in Prineville too. We really liked the nicely tended museum in Prineville too. Best part of our trip, no doubt, was hiking at Smith Rock. Also, check out Peterson's Rock garden between Redmond and Bend. Eat a "The Pine Tavern" in Bend. Sandy Wires Rento, Washington

Your vacation home on Prineville Reservoir is an unbelievably gorgeous, spacious home, beautifully decorated, extremely clean and accommodating. This was an annual gathering of 5 siblings and our spouses who grew up in Prineville but have not lived there in 40 years. This was also the first time we have all gathered there for a reunion and what better place to do it. The view was incredible and the parking was completely ample for our five cars. It was really a fun family gathering filled with golf, great food and reminiscing about old times as kids water skiing and boating on Prineville Resevoir. We're all very excited we found this little piece of paradise on our old home turf. Thank you, Dan.

We built a bonfire on Friday night and had a great time. Saturday we got the place ready for a small family wedding. It was amazing. We were able to get married outside on the deck overlooking the reservoir! How great is that! The photos of our wedding are priceless. The sky opened up and the lighting was magical. We sent a photo and you are welcome to post it on your site. On Sunday we all had brunch together and just had a relaxing day. All and all, a perfect wedding in an amazing setting. Thank you!
