This was an amazing property with hosts who were above and beyond in their communications and accommodations. Ample rooms/space, large hot tub, beautiful views, bike riding out the door. The kitchen had EVERYTHING one would want—one of our group is a professional caterer and was impressed. We highly recommend this home and hope to stay again ourselves.

Our family has taken summer vacation together for the last 10 years. This was one of the best. Craig was an expert host. He was nearby and available when needed but never intrusive. The house was the most well stocked property we have stayed in. It was clean, comfortable and centrally located. Never lacking for activities, we hiked, tubed the river, mountain biked, rode ATV’s , played golf, went to the county fair and rodeo. We also took a day trip to Crater Lake National Park. Highly recommended home in Bend.

Host profile image
Kathy and I met in the 1st grade. In the 3rd grade we skated every Saturday at the local skating rink. We also went to middle and high school together..After college we were married . We have lived in Bend for over 15 years. Now that our 4 kids are out of the house we have too much space and want to share it for someone else to enjoy. We live in the detached mother-in-law suite and will allow you your privacy while we are able to care take the Executive Lodge.

Why they chose this property

This property is perfect for any family or large group. We have a large kitchen and lots of seating areas both inside and out. With the bunk beds in one room its perfect for kids and their friends. We also have a dog run in the back that is perfect for your pooch.
