After a harried summer, we longed for a quiet blended week of peace and hiking. Shortly after unpacking and sitting on the veranda looking out at the small lake I initially thought I was going into shock. There was almost no sound, just a gentle breeze in the pines and what felt like muted whispers of local birds. I was completely de-stressing. Couple that with a well-appointed, lovely house and we had found what we were looking for. Sleeping at night was heavenly with windows wide open and being caressed by the cool mountain breeze. Another plus is the availability of accessing the creek trail to beautiful Tumalo Falls (must see). We found the 15-minute drive into Bend a non-issue and discovered that the world-famous Sparrow Bakery and their Ocean rolls were also just 15 minutes away. Our week is finished but we will hold onto fond memories of our little visit to our Waldon Pond. —Robert A, Carmichael, CA (Hillside Cabin 8/6/22)
Amazing location *****
Amazing location with privacy and cozy forest views. It stayed surprisingly cool while it was boiling in Bend. Our two young kids loved the kayaks and the paddle boards. Can’t say enough good things about this place. —David M, Longmont CO (Lakeside West Cabin 8/6/22)
Wow! *****
Wow what a great experience! My family loved the cabin and lake. —Kevin A, Bend OR (Lodge 7/29/22)
Can’t wait to go back!!! *****
Terrific cabin, great location! I highly recommend for anyone looking to explore the incredible Bend area. —C. Martin, Mableton, GE (Lakeside West Cabin 7/28/2022)
Great spot just a short drive to Bend *****
The house was great! It seemed brand new, well built and nicely appointed. We happened to be in Bend for the heat wave and it was such a relief to return (or spend time) at the “cabin” and avoid the crazy heat. We hope to be back! —Mino M, Kula, HI (Lakeside East Cabin 7/25/22)
Wonderful Stay at Lake Tumalo *****
Very serene stay on Lake Tumalo. Cabin was very clean and well appointed. Property owners did our laundry for us! Lake had lots of trout that were catchable with local flies. Spinners and jigs had less luck. Great access to mtb trails, most don’t allow e-bikes. Tumalo Falls was very beautiful. 20 min drive to town, but quiet and solitude were worth it. Thank you so much Tracy and Bill! —James F, San Diego, CA (Hillside Cabin 7/11/22)
Family reunion *****
Our family of 16 enjoyed every moment of our time at this beautiful property. So much room and the amenities were perfectly thought out for a large group. Two dishwashers, two refrigerators, two ovens, and plenty of bathrooms. The beds are comfortable and the home is extremely clean. We loved the lake, kayaks, canoes, and boats. The hike around the lake was amazing! The waterfall is spectacular and so close to the property. The river tubing was nice and exciting. There are so many fun things to do in Bend. —Charlene S, Phoenix, AZ (Lodge 7/9/22)
A+ For Summer Family Fun *****
Exceptional experience, exceptionally well-appointed home, great space for kids (5 ranging form 7-12). As a host ourselves, we could not be more pleased with the home, the communication from the owners, and the overall experience. Will return for sure. —Paul I, San Franciso, CA (Lakeside East Cabin 6/21/22)
AMAZING family getaway *****
An AMAZING Family getaway vacation and so thankful we found this beautiful place. Everything in the property is of high quality and sits on a view of a private lake. Hiking, canoes, fly fishing, firepit and hot tub added to the enjoyment of the property. The Tumalo Falls are nearby and a wonderful hike. The distance from Bend is not very far, so we took advantage of all the area had to offer. We would highly recommend and hope to return again and again. —Paul B, Roanoke, TX (Creekside Cabin 6/4/22)
Fantastic Lodge! *****
What a fantastic lodge. We had 8 guys on a mountain bike trip and it was wonderful being in one place. It was perfect. —Scott H, El Dorado Hills, CA (Lodge 5/20/22)
A gem! *****
Rental through VRBO was convenient. Rental agreement was straightforward and on par. It was evident the place we were going to was well cared for before we arrived. Directions were sent via email were descriptive and any questions we may have had were proactively answered either via an email before our arrival and/or in the welcome book. The property itself is stunning. Everything from the beauty of the cabin itself, to the land around it and nearby, the privacy, and the value were impressive. The ease of getting to and from skiing, hiking trails, Bend, and to and from the airport (RDM) was highly valued. The cost was well worth it. It is a gem. I highly recommend this stay. —Luke C, Richardson TX (Lakeside West Cabin 4/28/22)
Truly magical *****
This is truly a magical, secluded location just outside of Bend, Oregon. Me and my family had never been to the area and wanted to find a cabin that would allow us to connect in comfort while being surrounded with nature and this spot delivers. In April, there was still snow along the lake trail but we had a great hiking experience seeing bald eagles, native birds and lake ducks. We managed to catch (and release) rainbow trout despite snowfall and then warmed up in the cabin by the fire. The cabin is so cozy, had ample room for 2 couples, was very clean and kitchen was provisioned with all the cooking necessities/amenities for those who like to cook. We brought in enough food for b’fast, lunch and dinner and the refrigerator was large enough to store everything for four people over 3 days. We really appreciated the care that Tracy took to ensure we could find the cabin despite potential GPS outages. We also loved view of the lake, the warmed floors in the bathroom, the game selection, the ample firewood and the hot tub. We will definitely be back. —Kim P, Fayetteville, AK (Hillside Cabin 4/26/22)
Amazing experience!! *****
Our group had an amazing time on the property. The house was everything we could’ve hoped for in terms of amenities, cleanliness and space. The property was beautiful and truly a one of a kind experience that we will all remember forever. We’re already looking forward to planning our next trip back!! —Gabe L, Bend, OR (Lodge 4/14/22)
Beautiful and relaxing *****
Gorgeous cabin, comfortable amenities, incredible views! From the bald eagles, frozen lake and fun hiking trail to the warm wood stove and relaxing atmosphere, our stay was really wonderful. Would definitely book again! —Joel B (Lakeside East Cabin 3/21/22)
Ski weekend dream cabin *****
This was the most stunning property I have stayed in near the Bend area. Gorgeous architecture. Secluded. Well stocked and furnished. It was nice to be off the grid have no tv. It was a short drive to Mt. Bachelor for skiing, and the hot tub is the perfect space for Apres Ski relax. We could not have been more thrilled and would honored to return. Thank you! —Stuart R (Lakeside East Cabin 1/14/22)
