Beautiful and Relaxing

This was our second stay at Sweetums Ranch and we would stay again in the future! The location is beautiful and serene with an easy drive into Bend or to the nearby Cascade mountains. The guest house is super clean and spacious, tastefully decorated and the beds are very comfortable. We bought groceries and did our own cooking in the fully stocked kitchen. We had the option to eat at the inside or outside dining table, which was very nice. Bill and Tracy are excellent hosts - friendly and kind!

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 :)

Sweetums Ranch had so much to offer. We had a wonderful time! Views abound from almost every angle of the property. The salt water pool is huge and perfect for hot afternoons after area hiking. We were surprised by and so enjoyed the cows across the fence line from the guesthouse. They were very entertaining! Be sure to get out after dark on the lawn adjacent to the guesthouse to look up! As city dwellers, we were mesmerized by the endless stars in the sky! Location is great for exploring the valley. Super close to Tumalo-excellent pizza spot. Trader Joe’s and Costco are 11 minutes away in bend and sisters is in the other direction. Guest house itself is set up well. Each bedroom has own connected bathroom. Outdoor and indoor eating spaces. We spend a lot of time in the rockers on the patio. Kitchen is compact but has everything you need. Hosts were good communicators and friendly. Their house is on-site, but situated well for privacy. Checkout list was longer than a lot of places we’ve stayed but didn’t mind really because of how great our experience was, but a good thing to know going in. If this place is open for the dates of your trip(especially in summer) book it before someone else does!!

Charming and cozy country guest house

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.

About the host

Hosted by Tracy Lucente

Host profile image
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!
