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 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 in June, 2012, the Lakeside East Cabin in June, 2013, and the Lakeside West Cabin in October, 2014. Eventually a main lodge will be built.
We believe this is a very special place and think you will feel the same after visiting.
What makes this house 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 Bend.
We stocked Tumalo Lake with trout in 2013 and guest this past Summer landed Rainbows up to 16-18'.
This Winter weather permitting we will be building an ice skating ring on Tumalo Lake.
There is no other place so close to Bend affording such quality accommodations, privacy and natural beauty.
Guestbook comments from the owner
There were 11 of us here and this cabin had more than enough room for all of us. Had a great time canoeing, paddle boarding, even used the raft. The hike around the lake was beautiful. The Great Horned Owls made us feel right at home. Thanks for everything- your cabin and property are amazing. Hope to be back soon.

Luxury Cabin
Very well built Cabin. From the floor plan of the cabin to how well stocked the kitchen was with cooking utensils and dishes nothing could have been better. And that's not even the best part. Best thing about cabin is all the outdoor space and beautiful scenery. Everyone in our group had a great time. Thanks to the owners!
Peace and tranquility near Bend OR!
We are a quiet, nature loving family and were looking for a serene getaway when we found Tracy and Bill's cabin on Homeaway. Rarely is a place as perfect in life as it is in pictures but this vacation spot is! Our family included 4 adult children ages 24-32 so we had 6 adults staying 4 nights at Creekside Cabin.
We loved the cabin's proximity to the lake with paddle boats, canoes and kayaks provided! There are three other cabins all placed so that you hardly notice the others. We hiked the trail through the forested area around the lake daily. We would not have needed to leave the property for anything which made the perfect vacation! We cooked all our meals in - and found all the dishes and pans we needed in the well-stocked kitchen.
We can't say enough about the spacious rooms and cleanliness of the cabin! The owners were easy to reach with questions both before and during our stay.
I can't begin to list all of the nice touches that make this Cabin feel like home, but suffice it to say that you will be moved to care for it like your own due to the beauty and comfort of the entire property. You will be delighted by the strategically placed hammocks and Adirondack chairs to enjoy alone or in groupings.
Tumalo Falls is close, as is downtown Bend and its many breweries if you are looking for somewhere to go during your stay.
It's hard to imagine a more perfect spot for peaceful enjoyment of Oregon and we thank Bill And Tracy for making us feel so welcome! We can't wait to return!
Very nice home on a private lake.
This home is one of four around a pretty private lake on 640 acres of private land in the middle of a national forest. The home is very large and very roomy. The home appears to be well-built and solid. It has many windows and is light and airy. There is one bedroom with bath downstairs and three bedrooms with private baths upstairs plus a sofa bed in another room upstairs. All of the appliances are top of the line. The house is well equipped in every way. The lake is available for swimming, canoeing, kayaking and fishing. There is a firepit by the lake surrounded by chairs. There are two very nice hiking trails. One 2-mile trail goes around the lake and is relatively flat. Another 2-mile trail climbs the ridge behind the house. The house has wifi. The owner is around every day and is very friendly and helpful.
I have only one complaint with the house that kept me from giving it a 5-star rating. The folding sofa bed upstairs is in very bad shape and sags badly in the middle. My grandkids that had to sleep on it were not at all comfortable. You can visually see several inches of sag in the middle of the bed. If this bed were replaced, the house would easily earn 5 stars.
I should also mention the mosquitoes. I would not count this against the house, but the mosquitoes around the lake are fierce -- and we were told this is the off season for mosquitos! Bring lots of repellent.

We stayed here for three nights and enjoyed every minuted! I brought my adult children and young grandchildren and the accommodations were perfect! So clean and everything we needed. We enjoyed the water and all the fun toys that were provided! We will be back!
Great Place to Stay
The Tumalo Lake Cabin was exactly what we were looking for! Our aim for this trip was to stay in homes that reflected the area in which we were staying. The cabin certainly achieved that goal. The home is spacious, well appointed and very comfortable. The radiant heat made the house cozy and the woodstove added a homey feel that we enjoyed very much. I can't say enough about the beauty of the location. Despite the fact that it rained the entire three days time we were there (unusual for the high desert, even in October), we enjoyed the natural beauty immensely. Bill was a very good host and we were glad that he had lights on for us for our late night arrival. We will definitely stay again.
My 60th birthday celebration
We spent 3 nights at the spectacular Creekside cabin at Tumalo Lake. Seven of us enjoyed hiking and kayaking on the lake, and when there was rain, we felt so cozy in our luxurious forest home. We enjoyed the fire pit and the wonderful spa. We thought it was a good value in such a beautiful place compared to getting 4 hotel rooms and eating every meal out. Would highly recommend and would love to stay again.
