About this property

Central Oregon Getaway! Incredible Lake and Mountain views! Dark Sky Area!

Views to die for in Central Oregon's high desert. Beautiful, rustic (but very nice) cabin/home situated on 20 acres of untouched land, 17 miles S.E. of Prineville. Just up the hill a ways from Oregon's first designated Dark Sky Park. A stargazers delight! Three sides of the property abut undeveloped Bureau of Land Management public forest which allows for unobstructed and amazing views of the Prineville Reservoir, volcanic rock formations, and surrounding mountains as far as the eye can see. Watch eagles, hawks, deer, and other wildlife from the porch just a few steps out your front door. Step out at night and you will be enthralled by the brightness of the stars, planets, and Milky Way Galaxy.
This is a wonderful getaway for couples, families, friends, and even business get-togethers. Our cabin features a full kitchen with modern appliances, living room area with fireplace, TV with cable, internet, two full bathrooms, washer/dryer, and garage. The cabin sleeps 8, with a room of 4 bunk beds and two bedrooms with queen-sized beds. All bedrooms upstairs. The master bedroom features a patio deck, perfect for morning coffee or tea, night caps, or sunbathing in solitude. Onsite activities include horseshoes with a regulation-sized court, slate pool table, darts, swing, bar-b-que grill and a seasonal fire pit. Relax at the end of your day under the night (or day) sky in the private hot tub just off the porch. You will feel totally secluded. Memories of bright blue skies and fresh clean air will linger long after you've ended your stay.
If you are looking for adventure or other outdoor activities to explore, just a mile down the hill is the state park and boat dock. Bike, hike, rock climb, swim, boat, fish, go on spectacular sightseeing expeditions to the Painted Hills or John Day Fossil Beds or just simply stop anywhere in the most incredible surroundings of Oregon's High Desert lands.
Prineville is known as the "doorway" to the pine studded Ochoco Mountains, Ochoco National Forest, and the Crooked River National Grassland. There are good restaurants in town, along with some great little antique, home decor, gift, and clothing shops. You will find several spas, coffee shops, and, of course, really nice people. For a taste of Old Prineville, stop in Prineville Menswear on S. Main where "really good stuff' is available. Lunch at Dad's Cafe next door or have a burger at the Tastee Treat on Highway 26, across from Pioneer Park. Pine Theater is just like yesteryear showing current flicks ($8) and concessions for $2 or under. Although this vacation spot isn't about crowds or malls, the trendy (and friendly) city of Bend, with its wonderful shopping district, is an easy drive 35 minutes from Prineville.

Your pet will be welcome with permission from managemnt and acceptance of the Pet Policy. Please communicate the number of pets with your inquiry. Pets are limited to two dogs and the pet fee will be $50 per pet per stay.

This place is such a gem. The views are breathtakingly stunning from all angles. What amazed me the most was the silence, there was something magical about being so secluded while gazing for miles at so much natural beauty. The cabin was clean and so well stocked, everything I needed was right there. It felt very intuitive, almost like it was my own home. My daughter loved the hammock, swing, and hot tub. We had a lot of fun exploring the property. We felt very lucky that the hosts generously provided this space for us and we definitely hope to come back.

The land, the skies, and the sweeping views are absolutely to die for. The cabin is exceptionally well equipped to complement your outdoor adventures, while also offering a comfortable, fun-filled interior. Whether you’re relaxing and gazing out the windows at the stunning scenery, playing games, shooting pool or darts, or cozying up by the fire, this cabin has it all.This was our second visit, and we only wish we had the freedom to return more often. The property manager, Lorrie, is truly one of the most amazing humans—she represents the wonderful people of Prineville so well. We owe her immense gratitude for turning a horrible mishap on our part into a survivable life event.Thank you to Lorrie and to the current owners for allowing our friends—and our pups—to enjoy this beautiful space and land.

Amazing Central Oregon Cabin!

This spot was an awesome find for our family of 4. It's the perfect combination of accessible, private, comfortable, and well outfitted for relaxation and adventure. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub with gorgeous views of the surrounding reservoir, painted hills, and jagged hilltop rock formations. A lot of time was spent on the perfectly situated deck just reading or rocking in the hammock while taking in the scenery. Internet able to support our movie streaming during down-time was a welcome bonus. The clear star filled nights and nearby rockhounding opportunities were the icing on the cake. Loved it, no notes.

Unbeatable view, excellent condition and amenities!

My fiancé, friends and I stayed at this home for an extended weekend and it was simply wonderful! The view was unbeatable, hot tub hot the spot, and the amenities in the kitchen and pool table/darts board were awesome! Would definitely recommend anyone to stay here looking for a quiet and nature-filled retreat. It was a bit far from the closest town (Prineville, OR), but we loved that it was more isolated and on its own piece of land.

Pete's Cabin is amazing! We so enjoyed the quiet beauty and the amazing scent of Juniper in the air! (So many Juniper tree's!) We also got a HUGE rainbow across the sky while we enjoyed the hot tub. This place is incredible.

Family vacation

We had a great time at the cabin. It was very remote and quiet. Loved the fire pit outside, hot tub and the horse shoes. It was a very relaxing and the views were amazing!! The only negative were the beds were not very comfortable. Otherwise the cabin met all of our needs.

Thank you for your kind words about the Cabin. We have recently added new mattresses to the cabin, and of course mattresses are such a personal preference. Firm, soft...etc. We tried to go middle of the road. Most people sleep like babies on them, sorry you did not! Again, Thank you for coming to and taking such wonderful care of the cabin. Please come back!
