We put everything in storage and decided to hit the road this year, and our first stop was several months in Central Oregon. We chose this house out of many options for some winter fun and we couldn't have been happier. The first floor with the wrap around windows, southern exposure and light was so restorative after a tough 2020. I spent every morning on the window seat looking out over the territorial views with a smoothie in hand. I will miss our time in this house! So much to list that was awesome:
* Great kitchen for cooking. We love to cook and bake and we took full advantage. Aside form the usual, they had ceramic cookware, a toaster oven, a Nutri bullet, a slow cooker, and a Traeger outside... my husband perfected his brisket and pulled pork. Yum!
* Furniture was SUPER comfortable. The sectionals were great, dining was solid, mattresses were comfy. And the TV/soundbar were studpendous. My husband and daughter fell in love with the size of the television, and I had to put the kibosh on us every buying a television that large! :)
* Proximity to stuff! We went up to the mountain to ski often. We walked on the river trail super frequently (loved that). We liked to joke that everything we went to in Bend was 7 minutes when you looked it up on the GPS. Just a perfect location. Neighbors were nice and quiet.
* Backyard and balconies were great. Even though it was largely winter, we spent a lot of time either catching some rays for Vitamin D on the front balcony or spending time at the fire pit in back. (As spring arrived, the frogs moved into the water feature in our back yard, they were lovely!)
* Garage was tall enough for CRV with a roof rack and box. We very much appreciated that and it's very rare.
* Owner was lovely, responsive, and a great communicator.
* Sauna and the jacuzzi tub were also a nice touch for someone who needed to recover from skiing while in super bad shape, as we were when we arrived!
* Well stocked. We rented for a very long period, and he really stocked up kleenex, dishwasher detergent, laundry, etc. That was unexpected and nice.
We would definitely rent this house again!
