One Of The Greatest Home Locations In The World - Peaceful And Private!
Location: Sunriver, Central Oregon, Oregon, USA (Near Sunriver, Bend & Mt. Bachelor Ski Resort)
Accommodations: Private Home, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 6)
This dramatic custom home, located 10 miles South of Sunriver, was designed and built by a doctor as his dream retirement retreat. The east-facing wall toward Mt. Newberry and the Little Deschutes River is all windows - 16 feet high and 60 feet across! - giving you exceptional views and lots of wonderful light inside the home.
The home features two large bedroom suites with vaulted ceilings, each having its own full bathroom. One bedroom has a King bed and the other has a Queen and Twin Bunks. It is ideal for couples or a family with children. The secluded setting makes the home very popular for honeymoons.
There are no adjoining homes to spoil the feeling of peaceful privacy in the home or when you are in the hot tub on the view deck. A great variety of wildlife - deer, otter, beaver, eagles, hawks, quail, and jumping trout can often be viewed from the home (field glasses provided).
Riverfront is situated on a three-acre wooded site and has over 900 feet of private river frontage. The Little Deschutes is a crystal clear trout river, with good numbers of wary large Brown and Rainbow trout.
Inside, the home has been furnished for maximum enjoyment, with such items as a big flat-screen TV, Wi-Fi, a glassfront wood stove, and a massaging leather recliner in the living room.
Both bedrooms have large TV's and goosedown comforters on thick pillowtop mattresses. The open-design kitchen features a Jenn-Air range and large workstation island, plus a great assortment of utensils and spices. A separate game room has a tournament-quality pool table, foosball table, exercise equipment, and a real slot machine (takes provided tokens). There are also many movies, hardcover novels and music CD's provided for your enjoyment.
And just two steps out the back door is that big hot tub on the view deck. One of the greatest pleasures in the world is slipping into that warm water on a clear night and looking up at the millions of stars that can be seen here at our higher altitude.
This part of Oregon is in the "rain shadow" of the Cascades, with 300 days of sunshine a year and a very comfortable cool dry climate during the summer months. Golf and other outdoor activities can be enjoyed in non-sweaty comfort. Or, if your looking for a great place to stay during the ski season, this is it. The winters here are unbelieveable.The scenery, the otters in the river, the hot tub ate nite, "ya just gotta be here". The roads, driveway and side walks are maintained.
Nearby are several world-class golf courses, Mt. Bachelor (used by Olympic ski teams for training), countless pristine mountain lakes, wilderness hiking/biking trails, volcanic attractions, and scenic drives. There are so many things to do here - no boredom!
We also provide free rubber rafts and tubes - you can put in at various places upriver and float back down to the dock in our back yard. On a warm summer day, this is great relaxing fun for both adults and kids.
It is an easy 10-minute drive to either Sunriver Resort or to the town of La Pine for groceries. Bend with its many fine restaurants and major shopping malls is only 20 minutes away.
Quiet, housebroken pets are welcome - there is a large dog run, many wooded areas to be sniffed, a river to swim in, and squirrels that need to be exercised. We just ask that pets be kept off the furniture and that you pick up after them outside.
You may now pay with a your personal check and/or through the secure PayPal service.

Thank you so much for letting us stay in you beautiful home. You've taken so much care and thought in what you have here. It is delightfully stocked with the "things" we need and couldn't appreciate it more. We floated the river, fished, played horse shoes, pool and just sat outside with the animals. Thanks for the thoughtfulness.

"What a wonderful, restful and serene place. We enjoyed everything - the hikes, the deer, the birds, the hot tub, the river raft, coffee and books." (Sarasota, FL) " It was very nice to get away before the summer rush. My husband loved the massage chair - a great added touch. the kids loved the game room and the herd of deer that came by in the evening. Thank you!" (Lincoln City, OR) " What a beautiful spot! We loved it here - there is so much to do. We fished in East Lake (the trout were delicious), mountain biked down to the water slide at Paulina Creek, visited Mt. Bachelor, the Lava River Cave, and the Big Obsidian Flow was the most amazing thing I've ever seen. Thank you, Don, for sharing your home and allowing us to have a wonderful family vacation." (San Carlos, CA) " You have thought of everything. So much so, when we return home we will feel like we're roughing it! We had a relaxing Christmas here in sunny, snowy, Central Oregon - even learned to snowboard. Thanks!" (Portland, OR) " Thank you for letting us share your beautiful home in such a magnificent area. We have had a wonderful week in glorious sunshine. Visited Newberry Caldera, Lava Butte, Crater Lake, High Desert Museum, Painted Hills, Smith Rock and the Cascade Lakes drive. Added to all that, we have greatly enjoyed the abundance of wildlife. Many thanks indeed." (British Embassy, Tokyo) " Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here - beautiful setting. Surprised by the size of the Rainbow Trout in the river - made the fly-fishing worthwhile. Many thanks!" (Moscow, ID) " We had the most wonderful time! Your place is the stuff dreams are made of. Thank you for all the little touches." (Keizer, OR) " This definitely ranks as one of the nicest vacations we have had. Quail Run golf course was a hit with the guys, we found Fall River great for fishing and the scenery beautiful. The birds were great to watch, but a favorite was the nightly visit of the deer. Thanks, Don, for everything. What a piece of paradise you have. Hope to be back soon." (Ferndale, WA) " We thoroughly enjoyed your home - the massage chair and the Jacuzzi are very relaxing. The extras really made this place special. We also enjoyed the wine you left, and the high chair & playpen made life a lot easier. You have thought of everything. Thank you!" (Roseburg, OR) " This place is truly heavenly. There isn't much more to life than this - the view, the hot tub, the big cushy bed, and my family. I can't thank Don enough!" (Bothell, WA)
