Everything was clean and as advertised in the pictures. Loved the hot tub at night, the stars were so bright and we loved listening to the coyotes in the distance. Would definitely stay again!
The property was gorgeous and the house was very cozy and clean. The hot tub was immaculate as well and they had a hammock in the yard. It was perfect for stargazing at night. The horses on the property were friendly and I was even able to pet a couple of them! Wouldn't hesitate to book again :)

Peaceful and Beautiful!
We loved our stay at Sweetums! The guesthouse is comfortable and cute with all the amenities. The whole family loved the outside dining area and enjoyed the pool. Tracy and Bill are outstanding hosts.
The stay was a perfect getaway for a wedding trip out in Bend, OR. The directions to get there were easy and clear. Communication from Tracy was excellent. She treated us when we arrived. My in-laws talked with her and Bill and had nothing but good things to say. I wish I found time to get out to meet and chat with them myself more than my greeting on arrival.

Our home away from home!
Our many, many stays at the Guest House have all created grand, treasured memories! The setting, location and amenities are all excellent; the seamless graciousness of our hosts, Bill and Tracy make it magic!
Very clean, cute and quiet! Very peaceful location not too far from activities. Would stay here again! Scones and yogurt were a nice treat for our early morning start.
Once again, our stay at the Sweetums Guest House was wonderful! We had all the information we needed for check-in and check-out. Tracy stopped by shortly after our arrival to welcome us. The house was clean and comfortable and offered every amenity as listed in the description. My favorite things about the house: 1. Location - The house is a part of a larger property with the main home, horse pens, chickens, etc., yet it never feels like anyone is invading anyone else's privacy. Also, the property is so quiet and peaceful yet is so conveniently close to the highway. 2. Wildlife - Beyond the penned horses and chickens, deer meander through daily, kindly stopping to pose for pics. Birds flit about and squirrels keep themselves busy among the trees.This is such a lovely place for a getaway. There are many things to do a short drive away, but there is enough to do on the property that one really doesn't need to leave. I would recommend the Sweetums Guest House to everyone.
We stayed for a week in the Fall and absolutely loved it. The expansive view, nature walks and horses and chickens gave us a wonderful taste of farm life. The guest house was well equipped with firewood, and all the comforts of home. Great location, close by to Bend and Tumalo - but nice and quiet.
Overall this was a comfortable stay in a well-equipped property. Issues were dealt with quickly and, despite the slightly worn aspects of the guest house, I would certainly consider staying again.

Relaxing
We had a relaxing week. Good internet access, rural vibe, with easy access to restaurants and shopping in Bend.
This was a great property and some of the best communication I have had with property owner in my many VRBO stays around the US.
The use of Hot Tub, pool and tennis courts is a great bonus. The home is very well equipped with comfortable furniture and beds.
The views of Sisters and surrounding mountains is great. Very centrally located for exploring central Oregon.
We really enjoyed the peace and quiet at this property. Very comfortable accommodations. Hosts were quick to respond to any questions. We will be back!

amazing family vacation
The guest house and property made for one of our best family vacations yet. We loved playing tennis on the full size court, swimming in the picturesque pool, walking the trail on the property and visiting with the animals. The inside of the house was comfortable and well suited for a family. Beds were very comfortable. The owners were friendly, responsive and kind. We would love to return.
The Sweetums Ranch guest house is the perfect place to relax after hiking and exploring the Bend, Oregon area. The guest house is strategically located to offer guests privacy, yet allows them access to a swimming pool and tennis court. And very quiet at night as the property sits well back from the nearest road. Tracy and Bill are wonderful hosts and are very accommodating.
Enjoyed our stay. Celebrated our anniversary by doing some Christmas shopping/eating in downtown Bend. Wanted a place to stay that would be quiet and this was just the place. The wood burning stove gave the cozy feels I was hoping for during this time of year along with a Christmas tree all lit up and decorated.
My wife and I loved our stay at the Sweetums Ranch! The cabin was immaculate and very comfortable. The ranch is quiet with a gorgeous stream running next to the property. We enjoyed looking at the stars from the hot tub while listening to cows mooing in the distance. I highly recommend this cabin and would love to stay here again.

About the host
Hosted by Tracy Lucente
After living in Chicago and pursuing our careers for many years, we chose to move to Central Oregon for all of the outdoor activities right out our door, and for a more peaceful lifestyle. We are thrilled to be living in Tumalo - rural, private, quiet and lovely, yet with close proximity to Bend, Sisters, Mt. Bachelor and as much outdoor activity you can dream of having. And in spring, summer, and early fall a river even runs through it!
We are a couple living in the main ranch house (separate structure) on the property with our two friendly labradoodles, horses and chickens. The guest house is away from the main house and sited in a way that affords privacy for our guests.
Typically we will great our guests after check in, be available to answer questions and provide recommendations for our favorite hikes, restaurants and things to do. Guests can interact with us as much or as little as preferred, are welcome to join us for our feeding of the animals and egg collecting.
We love being in Central Oregon at the Sweetums Ranch and enjoy sharing this amazing place with our guests. Tracy & Bill
Why they chose this property
Tumalo is a beautiful area ideally located between Bend and Sisters. We love the quiet privacy with easy access to downtown and all of the wonderful outdoor activities of Central Oregon, Bend and Sisters.
What makes this property unique
We love the Tumalo location - rural, quiet and lovely, yet with close proximity to Bend, Sisters, Mt. Bachelor and as much outdoor activity you can dream of having. Enjoy the peaceful and beautiful setting of the Sweetums Ranch, play tennis, walk or bike right from the property, and relax around the gorgeous swimming pool (seasonal) with mountain views. All this, yet just minutes from downtown Bend (restaurants, brewpubs, shopping), and all the outdoor activities (skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, biking, river rafting, SUP, kayaking, rock climbing, horseback riding, etc) Central Oregon has to offer. The Guest House is located on a Oregon Scenic Bicycle Route through high desert ranch area and gorgeous Cascade mountain views. A perfect location for your vacation!
