This is an attached, 3-room guest suite in our unique, lovely home. While we are nearby, you have complete privacy.

This was the best vacation rental property I've stayed at yet (and I'm a frequent traveler). Especially if you're looking for a quiet, nature-filled, art-inspired getaway that is still a convenient drive to Bend, Sisters and Redmond, this property is absolutely perfect. Impeccably appointed, clean, and unique in a most beautiful way.
This place is like a High Desert Oasis. It’s a beautiful place cut right out of the desert. It is peaceful and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The hosts Beky and Gary were very hospitable and provide every thing you need for a relaxing vacation. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for a wonderful review. We love it when our guests appreciate the quiet beauty that surrounds us here. And, per your suggestion, the guest suite now has an apron!
This is a fabulous place to unwind and relax and listen to birds, the wind, the water and gaze at the 3 Sisters. While we had a lot to do during the day, the morning coffee and late afternoon/evening hanging out was just what we needed to make for a grand stay in the Sisters area. Highly recommended.
Sure, I carefully read the property description, but nothing could have prepared me for the reality of this place! Hosts are the best; warm, helpful, and not hovering. The accommodation is stunning: many skillfully handmade built-ins, and a view of the Three Sisters mountains from all rooms. I truly could not have found a better accommodation for my trip to Sisters, Oregon!!!
Stayed for an event in Redmond, was able to attend that, check out Sisters, a town I hear about a lot, and enjoy swims in the pond. Chat with the hosts and throw ball for thier dog (important for Border Collies). It was delightful, and
The hosts were so warm and welcoming upon our arrival and the accommodations were not only beautiful but very comfortable. We got to experience the magic of a moonlit snowy night of the Three Sisters mountains from our room. Breathtaking! Highly recommend this property!
Came to Sisters for a gravel bike event. Beky and Gary have a beautiful place set up. Close enough to Sisters and Bend, but far enough off main roads to get peace and quiet. Enjoy the birds and stars. Definitely recommend.

This time of year is always so beautiful. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay.
Don't let the location fool you into thinking this place is in the middle of no where. It is at a fantastic spot overlooking the 3 Sisters and about 20-25mins from Bend and Sisters. It was a surreal experience to witness the environment come to life during thunderstorms and mornings! Sunsets were spectacular as well seen from the large windows. If you are looking for a home away from home, Gary's/Beky's is tough to beat! The owners are really great and very accommodating. Thanks for an unforgettable stay!
I can’t say enough about how beautiful this property and location are, more than the photos can even show. Beky and Gary were lovely hosts and incredibly fast to respond to questions. Yet I didn’t actually see them at all after their initial greeting upon arrival - privacy as promised! The unit was very well appointed, even complete with some yummy banana bread from a local bakery. I hope to be back!

Thanks Julia! It was a pleasure to host you. Once you get here, it is indeed worth the drive. We are grateful every day.
We had an incredibly restful and peaceful stay at this beautiful property. The setting is serene, with absolutely stunning views that made every moment feel like a retreat. The home itself is exceptionally comfortable—every detail has been thoughtfully considered, and it’s stocked with everything you could possibly need and more. From cozy furnishings to a fully equipped kitchen, we felt completely at home. It’s clear the owners care deeply about creating a space that’s welcoming, clean, and relaxing. We didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommended!
If you love Mountain views, being immersed in a forest under endless starry skies, reveling in “ all things nature” then this is the destination for you. The owners have created a private, quiet retreat yet the amenities and custom touches made me feel very pampered. Especially love the huge tub, radiant heat floors, and pond with waterfall.The location was perfect to explore Sisters, Camp Sherman, Mt. Bachelor, Bend, Terrebonne, Tumalo and more. Hiked, snowshoed, followed rivers, went to a concert in Sisters, shopped in Bend, and enjoyed awesome food and coffee at every stop. I did not cook but the mini kitchen is stocked with everything to make a great meal. It was the perfect winter escape but would love to come back any season!
Hands down the best Vrbo experience I’ve ever had. The property was even more beautiful than the listing—every view, every space, every detail was pure magic. From the moment I arrived, I could feel the care and love that went into creating this place. The accommodations were not only stunning but incredibly comfortable, with thoughtful touches everywhere that made me feel instantly at home.The outdoor art and natural surroundings added such a unique, creative energy—there’s a peaceful, inspiring vibe here that you just have to feel for yourself. It’s clear the hosts truly care; they were warm, responsive, and genuinely welcoming. Everything was exactly as described, if not better. I didn’t want to leave, and I can’t wait to come back. A true gem.

About the host
Hosted by Beky Townsend
When we built our home, the guest wing was intended for our family and friends. We subsequently made some changes to convert the space to a guest rental. For the last six years, it has been extremely rewarding to welcome guests, and using a different platform we always had a 5-star rating. We are pleased to now list on VRBO.
We have a somewhat shy but friendly, protective border collie (Cali) and two older cats (Boo and Stanley). Cali is off-leash and stays on the property and is often in the pond. Cali barks to protect our property – it’s her job. She is mostly pretty quiet. We keep all our animals inside at night due to local coyotes.
When Spring comes, you will see tiny frogs of many colors everywhere, nesting swallows swooping elegantly over the pond, dragonflies, and an abundance of flowers. It's quite glorious.
Gary and I retired from the Bay Area to Bend in early 2015. Gary is a native Californian, and I am from Honolulu but spent my adult life in Marin County, CA. We truly feel the wonder and enchantment of rural Central Oregon here at the foot of the Three Sisters. Life has become incredibly rich for us as we continue to explore the beauty and intimacy of the natural world. We both relish canoeing, hiking, birdwatching, wildlife, and trips in our vintage trailer. We are adventurers and love to explore the back roads and natural beauty of the world. We also love to explore our inner world, who we are becoming, and the mysteries of life from new and ever-changing perspectives. Gary and I are both artists with our unique expressions. I chose to focus on bronze figurative work, and Gary has a love affair with wood. He has made several elegant pieces of furniture in our home. We also worked together on four landscape installations on our property.
Why they chose this property
Our lovely little community on Delicious Street and Barbara Way consists of almost 13 invisible homes, mostly nestled amongst the trees and unseen by others. We all enjoy the quiet and the wild, respect and protect each other's privacy and individuality, and we all have an ongoing love for the area.
Our home was completed in January 2016 and is made from unique building materials. We used local pumice, a Portland cement and lime blend, and then poured it into forms to make 14” exterior walls. The pumice creates air pockets in the walls so they breathe and insulate. The exterior walls are stucco, and the interior walls combine non-toxic paint and a beautiful soft Italian plaster in warm and comforting colors. The flooring is wire-brushed wide-plank white oak, and we have 10-foot ceilings for a spacious feeling. With radiant heat and a cooling system, we stay comfortably warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The house is full of light.
What makes this property unique
Our view of the Three Sister is quite spectacular, and the peace and quiet is almost deafening. We are only 15 minutes from Sisters, and 30 minutes from Bend, but you would think you were out in the middle of nowhere. It’s a great place to relax after a day of adventuring, exploring, or working in town.
The ever-changing sunsets and cloud formations over the Sisters can amaze, excite, and take your breath away. At night, when it’s clear and dark, the stars are abundant and the Milky Way is brilliant. It’s a great place to star-gaze without the city lights and to have fun looking for shooting stars and UFOs.
Our pond, which is close to the house, attracts many local and migrating birds. We have nesting tree swallows that return every year to our 10 bird boxes under the house's eaves. You may also see mountain bluebirds, Clark’s nutcrackers, flycatchers, flickers, robins, warblers, ravens, Canada geese, a wayward duck or two, and even shore birds who fly through at certain times of the year. We are constantly surprised and delighted by their presence.
Our pond was built for play and for swimming. It has an easy sandy beach entry on the south side and is 6 feet at its deepest. It’s refreshing to take a dip during the hot summer months.
