About Tracy Lucente & Bill Houck
Bill, after a prior career in business consulting, has been active in real estate development, construction and rentals for nearly 30 years. He is excited to finally apply his first degree in Forestry to the 640 acres of trees at Tumalo Lake. Tracy, along with her interior design and 'Inn Keeper' responsibilities, is a Global Director in the Clinical Research field.
Why Tracy Lucente & Bill Houck chose Central Oregon
Bill & Tracy, during a 2005 visit to Bend, fell in love with the Tumalo Lake property and the original 5 cabins which had been built in the 1930s. After moving to Bend in 2007, several years were spent obtaining necessary land-use and building permits and trenching 1 1/2 miles to bring in electricity and phone. Construction began in 2009. The Hillside Cabin was completed in October, 2011, the Creekside Cabin June, 2012, the Lakeside East Cabin June, 2013, and the Lakeside West Cabin in October, 2014. Eventually a main lodge will also be built. We feel this is a very special property and believe you will feel the same way after visiting.
What makes this cabin unique
Central Oregon, and Bend, Oregon in particular, are well reknown for both Summer and Winter sports. Enthusiasts from near and far visit for hiking, biking (road and mountain), skiing (Nordic and Alpine), snow shoeing, boating, fly fishing, rock climbing, etc.
Tumalo Lake Lodge is ideally situated in the middle of the nationally known 'Phil's Trail' mountain biking trail system. In Winter, these and other trails and shelters form an extensive snow shoeing/x-country trail network. Tumalo Falls (97 feet tall) is a 3-4 mile hike away. Tumalo Creek, 2 miles away, affords fly fishing opportunities. While staying at Tumalo Lake you are staying on a private square mile of forested land surrounded by the Deschutes National Forest but still only 12 miles to downtown Bend. We began stocking Tumalo Lake with Rainbow Trout in 2013 and guests this past Summer were catching 16-18' beauties. This Winter, weather permitting, we will be making an ice skating rink on Tumalo Lake.
There is no other place so close to Bend affording such quality accommodations, privacy and natural beauty.

Getting back to nature with a bit of luxury at Tumalo Lake
Beautiful location on picturesque Tumalo Lake. The house is quite upscale, the kitchen has good amenities and there is lots of space in the house. Bill was very nice and showed us how to work the door which was a tad difficult to lock/unlock. We thought some 'nice-to-have' items for the house would be more night lights, fans & flashlights. The 2-bedroom unit is the only one without a washer/dryer which is good to know for packing. If you are sensitive to light in the early summer mornings, you may wish to bring an eye mask as there are only blinds on the east facing windows in the bedrooms. The outdoor area itself is charming, complete with a campfire area, hammocks & water craft which get a lot of use. The dragonflies, butterflies, damselflies, ducks, chipmunks, deer and occasional osprey are fun to watch for as well.
Privacy and Fun
Spent 5 wonderful days at the Hillside Cabin - the accommodations were superior! Everything you need was in the cabin (grill, hot tub, full kitchen) and the lake (although small) was great to swim in with complete access to kayaks, paddle boards and canoes. With only 4 cabins sharing the lake, fire pit and such it always felt like you were alone. Only about a 15 min drive into downtown Bend.
Beautiful!!!
I couldn't have.been more impressed more with this property.. The home is spotless and is absolutely stunning. It was the perfect place to spend our anniversary. More importantly, the nature and serenity surrounding this house was something you see in the movies. Going to bed listening to frogs croaking and then waking up to birds and chimpmunks playing is my idea of a vacation. This property is nestled down a dirt road away from everything that overlooks your own private lake. If you enjoy the outdoors like me then this property has it all!!
A Little Bit of Heaven
Our vacation at Hillside cabin was like staying in a little bit of heaven....peaceful, beautiful beyond description, with a chorus of little frogs lulling us to sleep at night. My fondest memories are of my husband fly fishing from a kayak while floating in the midst of yellow water lilies. It was so serene with the snow-capped mountain in the background. This was an experience we will never forget.
Tracy and Bill also did everything they could to accommodate my allergy to goose down by providing alternate bedding. Their efforts were really appreciated!!!
Fantastic stay
Hillside cabin was fantastic. Enjoyed every moment. Plan on returning soon!
One of the best.
This cabin, its location and the attention to detail by the owners set this apart from any we've stayed at in years. If you're looking for privacy, solitude and a property that provides everything for a comfortable stay - this is it. We stayed for 4 days in late April and had snow showers and sunshine. Add in a private lake with catch and release and It couldn't have been better. We'll be back.
