Our home is an unexpected surprise at the end of a long driveway twisting and turning 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! Walk thru the front gate and up to the porch...come on inside! You will find four bedrooms (one downstairs and three up), an expansive kitchen, centrally located eating area, inviting 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, Basketball Hoop & Card/Game Table. The Well-Equipped Kitchen with it's fantastic View + Counter Space will inspire! The BBQ is just outside the kitchen on the deck. Enjoy your morning coffee out on the new expansive deck with the sun streaming over the Valley, or walk out to the lookout deck and watch the sun come up over the mountains. The dining table inside seats 6 and has 2 counter seats. We have a booster seat and a high chair. At night Mother Nature fills the dark sky with millions of stars! Don't forget to checkout the lookout deck! Great place at night to look for shooting stars. In the afternoon it's fun to sit and watch the goings on in the valley below. Oh, did I mention that the lookout deck is a great place to watch the fireworks displays on the 4th of July? Very cool.
Things to do: Summertime Fun in and around Bend! The Downtown area of Bend has a summertime Farmer's Market that is there every Wednesday in Mirror Pond Park. The Old Mill District is where you will find many shops and restaurants. Close by is the Les Schwab Amphitheater which sponsors free concerts in June, July and August; along with paid concerts. Check Bend Concerts for the entertainment schedule. Our little town of Tumalo has a fun Food Truck area downtown - it's the place to be for local flavor and relaxing. You can always take a chair lift 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. Marvel at the beauty of Smith Rock, check out the back country of the Three Sister's Wilderness area...tons of places to go!
