Was a great place to stay while we were in town for the Sisters quilt show would defianately stay again. We ended up leaving the dogs with a sitter, but they would have done great in the fenced yard. Nice and quiet with great view.

This rental is everything you would want in your own vacation home - all of the extras (waffle maker!), special touches, and lots of creature comforts. We had the best time - located 20 mins from both Bend and Sisters, it was the perfect remote reset and homebase for hiking & exploring. Hosts are absolutely wonderful. Can't recommend enough!

This property is really nice for a large family. It is better than the photos actually. It was very clean and quite accommodating. It’s worth noting that there is no air conditioning and the home gets quite hot. Another thing is there are no screen doors and so it remains hot as you can’t air it out or bugs will come in. There were fans in each room.

The hosts had decorative house for Christmas, which was wonderful. We tucked our presents under the tree and settled in. Livingroom was spacious but had a cozy feel. Our family (6 adults and 1 toddler) had a great time.

Weekend stay

We had a very nice comfortable quiet weekend at the property. The dogs loved running around and playing, and there was lots to do with all the games in the barn and a great deck to chill out on. The house has lots of room for everyone and Louise was great to Talk to about the property. Checking in and out was very easy and we had a great time. Definitely recommend this property.

The home owners are lovely people. We enjoyed our stay in this spacious home. The view is great from the property. The property is very close to Bend, but far enough away to feel like a retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Beautiful peaceful property

We loved the peacefulness and privacy of this property. The view was amazing and the sunsets were magical. The large barn with games for all made this place extra fun! 20-25 min drive from Bend but this property made it worthwhile. The layout of the home took a bit to get used to but it was perfect for our group with lots of space. We enjoyed our time very much!

Xmas 2024

We had a wonderful xmas with extended family, plenty of space and beds for all 8 of us. The kitchen was very roomy and particularly well-stocked. Everything was very clean and dressed up for the holidays, including a decorated tree! The master bedroom was especially comfortable and the living room was spacious enough for group games every evening. We had lots of fun playing ping pong and corn hole. I fully hope to stay here again!
