About this property

Big Country Home, Relax with Great Views, Lots of Privacy, and Bring your Dog!

Our home is an unexpected surprise at the end of a long driveway through old growth juniper trees, and up the hill! Located on a ridge and concealed from view with fourteen acres of privacy, our home welcomes you as you start your vacation! Plenty of parking, right in front! Open the front gate head up to the porch and through our new front door. Inside, you will find four bedrooms (one downstairs and three up), a view-filled and well stocked kitchen, large dining table, great room, two bathrooms and a few other rooms just to hang out. Our location is central to Bend, Sisters, and Redmond; a great starting place for your central Oregon adventure. Families with children will love the amount of space. The fenced in front yard is great for our K9 visitors. Couples or groups traveling together will enjoy the privacy of 3 large bedrooms. Golfers, fishermen, boaters: there is a TON of room on the property to stash your gear & cars! The Barn is where you will find foosball, ping pong, the basketball hoop, cornhole and a card/game table. The BBQ is just outside the kitchen on the deck. Enjoy your morning coffee out on the expansive deck with the sun streaming over the Valley, or be an early riser and walk out to the lookout deck and watch the sun come up over the mountains. At night, the dark sky is filled with millions of stars! The lookout deck is a great place at night to look for shooting stars. And, on the 4th of July, you can see multiple fireworks shows!


Things to do: Summertime Fun in and around Bend! The Bend's downtown is filled with so many interesting shops, local eateries, galleries. There is a Farmers Market every Wednesday from 11am-3pm. The The Old Mill District is where you will find many shops and restaurants. You will find the Hayden-Homes Amphitheater which is the place to go for concerts in June, July and August; October will be the famous Brew Fest! Closer to us, the little town of Tumalo has a fun Food Truck area downtown - it's the place to be for local flavor and relaxing. Not a skier? In the summer you can always grab a chair lift ride up Mt. Bachelor to catch a spectacular sunset, eats, drinks.
Interested in cycling? Bend is the site for many cycling competitions during the summer. There are many areas in and around Bend to go cycling, too.
Fall is spectacular with lovely days to be outside and a little chill at night. Love lighting the woodstove and watching a movie.
Things to do: Like to Play Golf?: Central Oregon is a golfer's paradise! Some have called the region the 'Palm Springs of the North'. In the fall, golfing is unhurried and much less crowded. You can go 15-30 minutes north or south of our house and find several wonderful and challenging golf courses.
Fishing + Hiking: Central Oregon is like heaven for fishing enthusiasts! There are so many places to explore! We can email you info, relevant websites, etc. Honestly, a wonderful getaway for the fisherman!
Hiking is Central Oregon's middle name in the summer time! There are so many unspoiled and uncrowded spots, really close to our home. Drive out to Tumalo Falls and go on a lovely hike -(don't forget your camera!!), Marvel at the beauty of Smith Rock, check out the back country of the Three Sister's Wilderness area...tons of places to go!

About the host

Hosted by Louise or Chris

Host profile image
Chris and I have a big family; five kids, seven grandchildren, our dog and lots of stuff. We both enjoy being outdoors and that is one of the special appeals that our vacation home has. Years before we purchased our vacation home, we would camp at the nearby Tumalo State Park with all of the kids, friends, dogs. It was fun spending time with the family and camping at the Deschutes river and we became very fond of the Bend area and especially Tumalo. Now, luckily, we can call this wonderful place our second home!
We currently live in the SF Bay area most of the time. It is such a treat to spend time at our vacation home, get away from all the traffic, congestion, and noise. It's a great place to relax.
We love hosting! The stories from from our guests about why they are coming to Bend, from the special occasions, family reunions, golf trips, to the 'wanna get aways'. We strive to make you feel welcome and at home when you rent from us.

Why they chose this property

It all started out that we just wanted to have a 'relaxation' spot. We discovered how comfortable we were with the pace of life and the friendly people here in Central Oregon. There is an endless variety of adventures that are just down the road from us in one direction or another.

Our rural area is priceless and yet, we are just minutes away to all of the conveniences of Bend; like shopping, restaurants, hospitals, and entertainment. For those last minute 'oops, I forgot items', there's a little country store in the town of Tumalo that has an amazing selection of stuff! (they even sell gasoline!)

Our home sits in the middle of 14 acres up on a ridge with interesting out-croppings and great vistas. We have attempted to make the indoors and the outdoors seamless with our choice of the interior paint colors and the casual decor. There are no neighbors around and the privacy is awesome! Being surrounded by big trees, natural landscaping, tons of birds and wildlife -and a big blue sky- is totally wonderful.

What makes this property unique

The views are incredible! Since we are up on a ridge, the view of the valley below us is unobstructed and ever-changing!
Besides the views, we really enjoy the peace and quiet. We share our road with only one other house and they are a ways away.
Since our property is located out in the country, there is very little ambient lighting so the sky on a clear night is spectacular!
