About this property

Rags to Rescue farm sanctuary.

This is a 31 day listing. The most important issue is that you have 5 star experience. We will do our best to make that happen. This is an animal lovers paradise. We rescue mini equine, mini cows, alpacas, mini goats and llamas. We also have Tennessee Walking horses, all friendly and love attention.

The 2 bedroom house also has a music room with a piano in a library like setting. There are two full bathrooms. Each bedroom has it’s own bathroom and they are on opposite ends of the house.

The home is on a 165 acre farm. I am a cyclist so I know the opportunities for cycling here are endless. We are right on the scenic byway for road bikes. Our 5 miles single track on the farm connect to the Petersen Ridge trails. There are over 200 miles of trails maintained by volunteers. We are 7 miles from Sisters on mostly single track. These trails are multi use trails so the hiking is great too. There are two mountain bikes for you and if you need more just message me.

There are minimum nights on holidays , 3 to 4 nights depending on the holiday. July and August there is a five day minimum.

My rate is based on 2 people an additional guest is $50 per person. A maximum of four people. The second bedroom will be unlocked
based on your reservation. If just two of you are traveling together and want separate bedrooms just let me know in your message and both bedrooms will be available.

All furnishings are new or antiques of the area.

The kitchen is fully stocked with all new appliances. There is a laundry room with new washer and dryer. There are limited spices and no perishable offered.

The hot tub is off the covered porch you can access from the French doors in the master suite.

We accept one dog. (I do make exceptions just message me) We require that the dog be on a leash when around the animals or houses. When you are out in the forest they can run free and they love it, lots of good smells. There is a pet fee.

Your privacy is of the most importance. I love to meet my guests but i leave all contact up to you. Just call or message me if you would like to meet up.

Great spot!

The Farmhouse is a sweet property with everything you need and stunning views. It was very comfortable, welcoming and pleasant. The dog loved the wide open spaces and the humans loved the ambiance and the hot tub. The owner, Bonnie, was helpful but gave us the privacy we desired. Close to town, hilking trails and snowshoeing. Ideal.

Farm house get away

If you are looking to get away and have beautiful views this is the place. Thanks to Bonnie for her tour of the animals on the property. We enjoyed feeding the miniature pony’s and donkey. Smokey the miniature cow was so cute too. Great farm house and so much property to enjoy. We loved it. Quiet and peaceful!

A slice of heaven

This was our 2nd stay and we loved it even more the second time. Beautiful views from every window and the majestic mountain views were the antidote to busy city lives. Bonnie was very responsive to a question. And she sent something I left behind. She’s a great hostess!

Absolutely Beautiful...

When we walked inside, my jaw dropped! This property was like I'd just walked into my home. There wasn't one thing forgotten and all of the personal touches throughout the property. None of us wanted to leave. Bonnie is a wonderful host, as we will remember our stay for a lifetime. A Christmas To Remember...

Beautiful and peaceful getaway

What an amazing place with a wonderful feel. This property is obviously well taken care of. We met the owner briefly and she was very welcoming and friendly. The place is very private and has wonderful views of the families’ working ranch and of the mountains beyond. We came for the Sisters folk festival and will be back again in the years to come.

Such a relaxing stay

My husband, dog and I thoroughly enjoying staying at the farmhouse. The property was beautiful and inside the house was cozy. In specific, loved the hot tub and the bed was very comfortable. It was a very relaxing get away, with down town Sisters only a 15 minute drive away. Highly recommend.

Ssister's Heaven

Everything was perfect. The inside was clean and well maintained. The property was beautiful and quiet. When you're sitting in the living room watching TV and you keep hearing a thump, don't be scared, it's just the pinecones hitting the roof. Would definitly stay there again.

A true taste of Oregon

My wife loves Mountains. When we arrived at the property The driveway twists around a road surrounded by Ponderosa pines and juniper trees. When you reach the farm house, it sits in a park like setting of a rich manicured lawn. And then you see the many snow capped mountains. They look so close you’d think you could hit them with a golf club. My wife nearly cried. The house was a charming old farmhouse that the host had painstakingly remodeled to capture the touch and feel of a home of that era. The home was spotless, and had everything you needed for a care free stay. We had one of the nicest stays you can imagine. We walked on several trails thru the property and even the trails thru the forest was clean and well maintained. The host checked in to make sure we were comfortable but not to bother us. I would have to say, after renting countless VRBO’s this was the best experience we’ve ever had.

Farmhouse Haven

Our stay at the Farmhouse was exactly what I needed to recharge my soul. Life in Portland, working from home during the pandemic has been soul crushing. The Farmhouse is so beautiful, peaceful, and quit. The nearest neighbor is several acres away. The property is huge with trails to accommodate an easy stroll through the ponderosa pines. The host Bonnie was incredibly accommodating. When your ready to join society, downtown Sisters is only 15 minutes away. Most of the shops have made it through the pandemic. We came away with a lot of beautiful artwork. If you need a place to recharge, this place can be your haven.

A Relaxing Retreat with Lovely Views

If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing spot for a getaway this is the perfect spot. Traveling down the long windy driveway you find yourself far from any neighbors and surrounded by beautiful views. The house is well equipped and very comfortable for a family of four. We also brought our little dog and he was happy to find treats and a comfy bed waiting for him. The kitchen had everything we needed and was spotless. Wifi worked well for those who had work commitments (there is also a good sized office in the house which came in handy). We also enjoyed the hot tub after long adventure days. Bonnie was a great host and was very responsive. We had a small issue with the washing machine which she quickly resolved. We wouldn't hesitate to have a repeat visit at this lovely retreat and would highly recommend it to friends.

Beautiful house and setting

We had a terrific time in this lovely home with views of the Sisters peaks. Very comfortable bed, and the hot tub on the back deck was perfect for relaxing after a day of skiing or hiking. The sprawling farm roads were great for long walks with our dog. Bonnie is a super responsive and friendly host. This was one of our very best vacation home rentals ever.

Dream Farmhouse in Sisters

This farmhouse -and the entire property- is incredibly special. I’ve been coming to Sisters for decades and this is by far the most amazing respite from the everyday world we’ve found. Agree that the photos do not do it justice. It is a wonderful blend of rustic charm and new conveniences- absolutely ideal. Setting is private yet only a short 8 minute car ride to downtown Sisters. (Or mountain bike ride along the trails!) You can spend your visit just exploring the property, though. Enjoy walking the trails and the land and saying hi to the sweet animals on the farm. We’ll be back!

Relaxing Holiday Getaway

This was the perfect getaway for us! The pictures do not do this place justice. It is absolutely gorgeous and serene! The home was cozy and very well stocked and prepped for our little family. Extremely dog friendly and clean! I am a bit of a snob when it comes to bedding and this was one of the few homes that I have rented with Down Comforters and very comfortable beds. There were two bikes for our use as well on the many trails and walking paths throughout the property. Overall, this was a wonderful experience and definitely one we will be doing again!

Fabulous place to stay near Sisters

This is a beautifully furnished, comfortable house idyllically located on a farm. Sitting on the porch, with a view of the Sisters peaks in the background and horses in the nearby field can’t be beat. Bonnie is a great host to top it off. This was our second visit & we will be back!

Perfect vacation

We stayed at this property August 1-8, 2020. The house was perfect just as pictured on VRBO. Very relaxing with a fantastic Mountain View. Everything you need is at the house. Conveniently located to many beautiful sites. We traveled somewhere each day and came back early to enjoy the hot tub, fire pit and peaceful surroundings, the view is amazing. The owners are friendly and available as needed. My favorite and most relaxing vacation yet. Oregon is beautiful. Joe and Michelle Christman. Urbana, Indiana

A Most Wonderful Stay

My wife and I recently stayed nine nights at Bonnie’s and Neal’s Farmhouse near Sisters, Oregon. In summary, wow! Besides being a wonderful farm house in a beautiful and peaceful setting, it is tastefully decorated and well maintained. It just felt cozy - you know that feeling when everything is just right. It was complete with a working fireplace, bbq, hot tub, and fenced yard. The beds were fit for a king and queen - the pressed Egyptian cotton sheets were simply marvelous. Netflix was available on all three TVs (one in the living room and each bedroom). The owners, Bonnie and Neal, were very helpful and caring without being intrusive. They encouraged us to use the paved and natural trails to wander around their 165 acre property and provided two bicycles to help make that happen. This is our third VRBO in the Bend/Sisters/Redmond area, and while the others were nice, this farmhouse felt like it was at a whole new level. We can’t wait until our next trip when we will be sure to return to this farmhouse. I would encourage any of my friends to stay.

About the host

Hosted by bonnie jacobs halousek

Host profile image
Neal and i were both born and raised in Oregon. I was raised in Lebanon and Neal was raided on a potato farm in Malin. He moved to to Central Oregon in 1966 after graduating from Pacific University in Forest Grove. I came to Redmond in 1967. Neal taught physical education and I taught adult education, sewing at night for Central Oregon Community College.

We met and married in 1986 and started Your $10 Stores. He left teaching to work with the stores. We opened 50 stores in two years. 25 were ours and 25 were folks who wanted help to open their own.

We still operate 4 clothing stores in Sisters, Sunriver and Seaside. We have dropped the $10 and the are just names Your Store. Our price today to $6.99 to $24.99.

In 1996 we opened a guest ranch on this property and it was called Rags to Walkers. The big white barn was full of Tennessee Walking horses and Frank White Stables. We were in operation until 2001. We found that running the stores and the guest ranch was more than we could do. So after a long rest, we had used VBRO when we had the guest ranch and decided to reopen a the three locations in Sisters and two in Seaside. So in 2017 we opened the bunkhouse and a private suite in our house in Seaside.

In 2018 we added another private suite with a private entrance in Seaside. This room has an outside deck and a spectacular view of the ocean.

In December 2018 we completed a complete remodel on one of the farmhouses on the property. The farmhouse sleeps four. IN March 2019 another farmhouse, we call the cottage, was completely remodeled right down to the 2x4's.

Both homes have large complete kitchens and amazing mountain views.

We love sharing our farm and like traveling with our dogs so one dog is welcome.

Come visit and enjoy our trails and all the animals that reside here.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property in stages. The red cedar home we bought unfinished in 1993. the cottage was here and it sat in the front yard. We moved it to the edge of the pond for my mom and dad. They lived out their lives in this peaceful setting.
The property with the big white house and barn was built by us in 1996 completed. The forty acres of forest behind the red cedar house was purchased 2012 and the last piece that is at the end of Farthing Lane and behind the Big white house was purchased in 2015.

This property offers Peace and quiet, Love of animals and wonderful views. Alpacas, Llamas, mini horses, tennessee Walkers and pet mini and full size steers.

What makes this property unique

Biking and animals are our passion and this property give us all and more than we expected. The Mountain biking on the property will give you about 5 miles of please and we connect with Petersen Ridge Trail System.
