We have just returned from a wonderful stay at this property. The house is well appointed and the floor plan allows for privacy and quiet spaces even with 4 young children along. The furniture is comfortable and accomodating, the decor current and in excellent repair, the beds comfortable, the bathrooms clean and beautiful and the kitchen generous in size, great appliances and well stocked with eating & cooking implements. The private setting of the home is perfect. There are many trees and a beautiful green space with a large fire pit and seating area. The nearby creek provided fun for the girls as did the swing. The area was quiet and peaceful. For entertainment we enjoyed shopping in Sisters, a 5 minute trip, a day trip to Crater Lake, many trips into Bend including the High Desert Museum. The girls enjoyed horseback riding at Diane's, a 10 minute trip from the house. We will consider Diane's week long horse camp in the future as we intend to visit this property again. The owners were very easy to work with, all transactions were smooth and the owners were readily available for questions. I would highly recommend this property to family and friends, especially for a group that would like a floor plan that allows for privacy and retreat.

Quality Family Time

This is a fabulous house. Not only does it fit our needs perfectly but it is a quality home. The house is always spotless when arrive. The huge lot and the stream that goes behind the house make it a great place to explore. It is so close to Sisters that we end up with more time to play since we spend less time going between the house and town. The kitchen is huge and fully equipped with everything you need. That means that we spend less money when staying here because we can fix our meals here. You will not go wrong staying in this well kept, large beautiful home. Our family just loves staying here.

We couldn't have been more pleased with this property. It was everything we had hoped for.

From the moment we walked into the home it was exactly what we had hoped for. A clean, fresh, rustic look. Our family of 8 spent the nights circled around the coffee table playing board games. The dining table was large enough for all to sit at. I have rented other property's that had very few dishes/appliances/silverware etc, but this home offered everything we needed plus some. The beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the outdoors so much while there. The first night we roasted marshmallows over the fire in the firepit in the yard. We spent part of another evening sitting in the chairs by the creek that runs through the property. We awakened one morning to snow and 1 dozen deer in the backyard. The very next day it was 60 degrees and we ate on the deck, enjoying the music while my grandkids danced and played leap frog across the deck. We had a wonderful time and hope to return.

"One of the best Central Oregon experiences our family has had in years! The house was very well laid out with plenty of room for our family & guests. The property was amazing with all the Aspen trees & spectacular mountain views North & Middle Sister. The dozen or so deer each morning walking through the yard was an unexpected treat & we definately plan on a return trip. Thanks for a wonderful stay! Dan"

"The best family stay we have ever had in Central Oregon. Cozy and meant for marshmellow roasting, hikes, fly fishing and family games. The home was clean, beds cozy and property well maintained. We love Three Creeks Brewery and Sisters Movie House less than one mile away. "

A wonderful retreat

Date of Stay: 08/21/09 Review Submitted: 04/05/10

My family loved our stay here. We had a wonderful time swimming in the creek, playing volleyball on the huge back lawn and sharing stories around the fire pit at night. We really liked having the two levels with kids downstairs with their own TV. Everything was very clean and new. It feels secluded but the town is just minutes away. We will definately be coming back here again.

A Little Piece of Heaven in Sisters, Or

Working long weeks in Portland, my husband and I were desperate for a weekend get-away. Aspen Lodge was a short drive from Portland and seemed the perfect escape. After simple directions and a gorgeous drive we arrived at the most beautiful home. Nestled in the heart of Sister's it was conveniently located near shops, restaurants and galleries. The interior decor matched the serenity of the outside and so incredibly tasteful. My husband and I were able to relax, hike around the property, cook ourselves dinner in the kitchen and watch the sunset in the Jacuzzi. The morning's were the most spectacular with 8 or 9 deer feeding in the neighbor’s yard so close we could touch them. We would recommend Aspen Lodge to anyone and already have. When our need for a vacation weekend calls again...we will be heading back. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

What a wonderful winter wonderland experience we had over Christmas. It snowed for 3 straight days & was absolutely amazing! Your home was immaculate & well laid out; perfect for 2 families. Very private & relaxing as you enjoy the abundant wildlife wandering among the aspen trees in the backyard. We will definitely be back; next time over the summer. Thanks again! The Dawson's

This beautiful home is so relaxing and the perfect launching point for an adventure filled getaway. Nearby fishing, hiking, shopping, biking and dining meant there was never a dull moment! We saw beautiful deer cross through the property and delighted in spending time by the creek. We ended the day with a soak in the hot tub. It doesn't get much better! Also, it is important to note that the home is well laid out ( we loved the back deck -- great view! ) and in pristine condition. Centrally located to so much, it is a great spot for a family vacation, a girlfriend's getaway or couples golf, fishing or just relaxing time in Oregon. Could not recommend this home more highly!

This Vacation home deserves honorable mention. My family enjoyed my mother's eightieth birthday at this charming location. The interior of the house is immaculately cared for and decorated. The exterior beautifully re-sided in cedar shingles and freshly finished. The 8 1/2 acres are well maintained and boasts all the claims made for it's beauty. The migratory birds were in full gear when we were here, the noise was joyful. My family and friends want you to know, it was worth every penny. You can't have a bad time here. Many thanks, The Pinettes.
