About this property

Chukar's Nest/Old Mill District/Hot tub/BBQ/Firepit/Sleds

Chukar's Nest is located only six blocks from the Old Mill District, Deschutes River, Riverbend & Farewell Bend parks. It's also walking distance to the Hayden Homes Amphitheater. Our 1-level, 1459 SF custom home was built in 2005 and offers a great room floorplan, hardwood floors throughout, living room w/ gas fireplace, dining room w/ seating for 6, and a fully stocked kitchen w/ island seating & stainless appliances. It has newer memory foam mattresses & linens in the bedrooms. For your enjoyment, we also have a hot tub, fire pit, BBQ, and outdoor seating.

A keyless entry system gives easy access to the home. The home has 2-TVs, ROKU, cable television, Blu-ray player, and free high-speed Wi-Fi. The home is equipped with iron, ironing board, hairdryers, computer printer, extra towels and blankets, pack 'N play, high chair, youth sleep mat, and beach/hot tub towels. The hall bookshelf has a plethora of books and games for all ages. Our seasonal recreational equipment includes four 7-speed bikes, 4-bike helmets, 2-bike locks, bike pump, six 1-man and one 2-man inflatable floats, inflatable electric, car lighter and hand pumps, 6-adult life vests and 4-child life vests, ice chest, 6-low-back lawn chairs, and 2 sleds.

If you arrive late, we got you covered for the morning. We have coffee, teas, sweeteners, half and half, oatmeal, pancake mix, butter, and real maple syrup. There are also all the spices you would need for a gourmet meal, including olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Love to barbeque? Our propane gas barbeque is waiting for you to grill up your favorite dishes.

The home has a 2-car garage which fits a mid-sized car and is available for the storage of your outdoor equipment during your stay. To be respectful of our neighbors, we do not allow parking of RVs, trailers, or boats anywhere on the property.

During the summer when there are concerts at the Hayden Homes Amphitheater, the music may carry to the neighborhood. Didn't buy tickets but want to hear the concert a little closer to the venue? A few blocks from the house is a park-like grassy bluff on the west side of SW Chamberlain Street, between SW McKinley and SW Roosevelt, which overlooks the amphitheater. Take a blanket or chair, a picnic and enjoy the music. If you have binoculars, you can watch the jumbotron:)

PLEASE NOTE: The number of bedrooms and bed sizes accommodate six adults comfortably - THIS IS OUR MAXIMUM ADULT OCCUPANCY. Host kindly asks the guest who books, to not include the couch or an additional mattress (brought by the guest) to be used to accommodate their group of six. A floor/sleep mat and pack 'N play are available for a child or infant only. Booking the property is your agreement to comply with our 6-adult maximum occupancy. We reserve the right to cancel your stay, with no refund, should you add guests to your initial booking or have more than the maximum adult occupancy.

For security purposes, the home has a Ring2 doorbell and security camera at the entry of the home. These are the only two security devices on the property.

GUESTS - The booking guest agrees to not allow more than the original number of guests to be in or on the premises at ANY time besides casual visits. At no time is it permitted for more than six guests to sleep in the house overnight. A violation of a maximum of six guests is grounds for immediate eviction with no refund. It should be noted that the house is not equipped with baby locks or other childproofing.

Please supervise all children. Do not sit on the hot tub cover. Leave the cover on the hot tub when not in use. Aqua Spa services the hot tub every Wednesday. A $95 fee will be charged if a guest contaminates the water resulting in an extra hot tub cleaning or draining.

Children under 12 must always wear PFDs on a moving boat, including inflatable rafts and kayaks. Individual air mattresses, inner tubes, and floating toys that are tied together, count as ’boats,' and the PFD law applies.

Wonderful weekend
We had an absolutely wonderful weekend at Ann’s house. From the very beginning her communication was amazing! The house is in a great central location, easy to get to all the things. She had everything you could ever need stocked and ready for you to use. The fire pit, hot tub were perfect, the games and books, the gift, she thought of everything! We can’t wait to go back and stay again!

Well-Appointed Property
The interior of the home was clean, charming, and cozy yet very spacious for our family of four. It has been recently renovated and has all the amenities you will need (literally, everything you could possibly need or want). It also has easy access to the highway and to Mt. Bachelor and is within walking distance to shopping and dining. The welcome bottle of wine was a nice touch. I highly recommend this property.

Great House
We stayed for three nights between Christmas and New Years. The communication prior to our stay was clear and timely making planning for our trip and check-in super easy. The house was beautifully decorated with just the right amount of holiday decor. The house was super well appointed with just about everything we could ask for of a rental property, including toys and kid furniture that were absolutely perfect for our three kids, including a pack and play and booster seat for our toddler. The hot tub was great. Truly a wonderful experience. I hope we will have an opportunity to return.

Rental Perfection
I have stayed in lots of rentals, and this one by far was one of the best! Not the biggest house, but it was perfect for our family of 4+ our mother and father. She had the house decorated for Christmas and supplied absolutely everything you can think of to make your stay comfortable. Rentals would be absolutely perfect if Ann we’re the host of them all. Thank you for making our holidays perfection and for creating a place that welcome to everybody. I would not have changed a thing.

About the host

Hosted by Ann Kieran

Host profile image
I've lived in Oregon since the late 60's and have been a full-time licensed Realtor in Eugene, Oregon since 1998. I currently work in both Lane and Deschutes Counties to be able to serve both the Eugene and Bend communities. My husband, John, is an attorney. We are both from large families and learned the art of compromise, the ability to share and self-reliance. We have two adult children and grandchildren - and love spending time with them. My husband and I met through our love of skiing, but I also love hiking , pickle ball and stand-up paddleboarding. We travel to Mexico yearly for the weather and downtime from our busy jobs. If I'm asked if I have a life motto, I would have to say it's living by the Golden Rule.

Why they chose this property

I love everything about the house on Chukar Lane. It's not a huge home but has all the modern amenities one needs. The location is outstanding whether walking, biking or getting around by car. And, the neighbors are super nice too!
