Explore Oregon Outback - Sauna - Stargaze - WIFI - Bird Watching Enthusiasts

For a lifetime, we've had the privilege of living and exploring the incredible landscapes of Oregon, and Summer Lake stands out as one of the most diverse and wildlife-rich regions we've encountered. From its serene beauty to its breathtaking views, this hidden gem offers a unique blend of natural tranquility and inspiration.

We’re thrilled to share this place with the world and invite everyone to experience the peaceful retreat of our cottage. Whether you’re an artist looking for your next masterpiece or a family seeking to make lasting memories, Summer Lake has something for everyone. Come and discover the serenity that we cherish so much—and find your own connection to this extraordinary place.

Nestled between expansive desert views and wetlands teeming with wildlife, our home at Summer Lake offers a truly unique experience. On one side, guests can enjoy breathtaking views of the wetlands and their ever-changing reflections, while the other side features dramatic, close-up mountain vistas. Whether you’re soaking in the scenery from the large wraparound deck or wandering the peaceful walking paths, you'll feel completely immersed in the beauty of this remarkable place.

During the day, the colors and reflections of the landscape shift constantly, creating a living canvas for your eyes to enjoy. By night, the area becomes a Dark Sky Sanctuary, offering unparalleled views of the Milky Way and a sky full of stars like you’ve never seen before.

For those cooler days and nights, our outdoor sauna and multiple fire areas ensure guests stay warm and cozy. Indoors, the home offers comfort and entertainment with a variety of board games, a mini library, and Smart TVs in every room so everyone can unwind with their favorite shows or movies.

But this home isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a gateway to adventure. Hiking, birdwatching, and photography are among the top activities in the area, while UTV riding and exploring the rich history of the region are also a must.

Our goal is for every guest to leave feeling so connected to this place that they’ll want to return year after year.
