Privacy and sweeping views will greet you at our vacation home in the Tumalo community of Bend, Oregon. Tumalo is centrally located between all three of the major towns in Central Oregon. It is a wonderfully rural area. The town of Tumalo has a corner store/gas station, an organic produce/sandwich shop, a few really good restaurants, and is the location of Tumalo State Park where the Deschutes river is easily accessed. (Bring the beach towels, cooler and toys, pack a lunch!) Downtown Bend is less than 10 minutes away going south, Sisters is about 15 minutes heading north.
Our 2-story custom built home defies the description of 'cabin' and yet, it is so cabin-cozy. Hardwood floors lend a 'country' feel to the main floor. The window and door casings are all wood. When you walk through the house, every window has a different view! With two master bedrooms (one on the main floor and one upstairs), couples travelling together can have lots of privacy. You will appreciate the oversized bedrooms. Families with kids will like that we have included (NEW) a pack 'n go crib with sheets, a high chair, and a booster seat. Oh, and we did add to the toy collection, too. You will find two queen sized air mattresses that you are welcome to use; that is in addition to the beds that are listed in each bedroom.
The large living room, with it's vaulted ceiling and clerestory windows is a great gathering place. That's where you will find comfy sofas and kid-friendly floor pillows. Get together to watch movies or satellite TV on our NEW BIG flat panel TV. The wood stove works great to take the chill off in the winter time. Kids love to use the big round table in here to play board/card games.
The family friendly dining area looks out over the front yard through the tall floor to ceiling windows. Adjacent to the dining area is the spacious, fully equipped kitchen (another great gathering place) with counter space galore! Just outside the dining area, through the sliding glass door is the deck with the BBQ and outdoor table; a perfect place for breakfast, lunch, or dinner while enjoying the view. Plan your days activities in the morning over coffee. And don't forget to RELAX! After all, you are on vacation!
You will find there is an abundance of privacy both inside and outside on our 9 acres. It is both invigorating and calming.
Our home is owner managed. We take pride in getting to know our guests and providing special touches. We love our vacation home and welcome all who are seeking a truly unique getaway. Also, well-behaved dogs of any size are welcome- they love the country air and the wide open spaces!
The Summer season is one of the best times in Central Oregon. There is so much to do! Come and stay in the country, away from the crowds, the traffic and the noise. Relax knowing that your kids are near, and entertained. If you can't make if for summer, take a little trip in the fall - crisp air, cool nights, fewer tourists and less costly!...

Why the Owner Chose Bend
It all started out that we just wanted to have a 'relaxation' spot. We discovered how comfortable we were with the pace of life and the friendly people here in Central Oregon. There is an endless variety of adventures that are just down the road from us in one direction or another.
Our rural area is priceless and yet, we are just minutes away to all of the conveniences of Bend; like shopping, restaurants, hospitals, and entertainment. For those last minute 'oops, I forgot items', there's a little country store in the town of Tumalo that has an amazing selection of stuff! (they even sell gasoline!)
Our home sits on a ridge with interesting out-croppings and great vistas. We have attempted to make the indoors and the outdoors seamless with our choice of the interior paint colors and the casual decor. There are no neighbors around and the privacy is awesome! Being surrounded by big trees, natural landscaping, and a big blue sky is totally wonderful.
The Unique Benefits at this House
We routinely see all sorts of wildlife at our vacation home. There are herds of deer that stroll through the property, red-tailed hawks love to play the wind currents off the ridge and soar over the tree tops. In fact, there are several species of birds around there. Recently I had the pleasure of listening to a pair of hoot owls carry on a conversation with each other! I can't imagine what they have to talk about!!!
Look here for the local Tumalo corner store, Farmer John's organic produce (also sandwiches,wine,beef)a gas station, and El Caporal Mexican Food. They're all within walking distance of each other!
Here you will find (among other things) Target, Home Depot, World Market, Starbucks, a brand new Trader Joes, and an Italian restaurant named Johnny Carinos.
The park is on both sides of the road; one side is for overnight campers, the other side is Day Use. This is where you will have access to the Deschutes River. Very refreshing!
You can see this butte from our front yard, looking south. There are several communications towers at the top of the butte.
This is a great day trip idea to go to Suttle Lake. There are a couple of areas where you can launch a boat if you brought one, or you can rent a boat near the restaurant there.
Costco is located out in this shopping center. There are a bunch of other stores, too.
This is a lovely place right in downtown Bend. The Deschutes River runs through the downtown. Mirror Pond and Drake Park are the place for a lot of celebrations, festivals, etc.
This little town is about 40 minutes away from the house. It's a fun spot; it's where the Crooked River RoundUp (Rodeo) is held every year. Also, Prineville is the Thunder Egg capitol of Central Ore
Amazing place! Lots of rock climbers in this park, the river cut a path through the rock and created a steep gorge. A Must See!
Owner's Map of Bend
Chris and I have a big family; five kids, one granddaughter, and our dog. We both enjoy being outdoors and that is one of the special appeals that our vacation home has. Years before we purchased our vacation home, we would camp at the nearby Tumalo State Park with all of the kids, friends, dogs. It was fun spending time with the family and camping at the river and we became very fond of the Bend area and especially Tumalo. Now, luckily, we can call this wonderful place our second home!
