General overview
Our snug home in the woods is located in Northwest Bend, just west of town on Tumalo Creek in the Deschutes National Forest. It's situated on 38 quiet acres with direct access to the mountain biking trails attached to Phil's Trailhead. In the summer, jog the dirt trails, read a book with your toes in the creek, ride your mountain bike or road bike. In the winter, cross country ski around the property or along the many trails through the Skyliners Snopark right here. Sledding is right out the door and you can come inside for a warm fire and hot cocoa.
The space
With two bedrooms and a loft, accessible by built-in ladder, our place can comfortably sleep 6. With air mattresses or ingenuity you can push that a bit more. It's a small home with a cabin-feel. Comfy and warm.
Guest access
The home is two floors requiring the use of stairs. It also has a loft accessible only by ladder. The loft is where our children sleep and play
Notes
This is a pretty rugged property. You'll need to be comfortable with dirt paths, steep river banks, log crossings (if you want to access the "island" between the rivers). It is an absolute delight for those interested in immersing in nature and getting everything Bend nature has to offer.

Neighbourhood
You can't ask for a more peaceful "neighborhood," just a few short miles from Tumalo Falls, half a mile from the Historic Skyliners Neighborhood, and plopped onto 38 quiet acres with Tumalo Creek flowing through the property.
Getting to my home
The home is super easy to access by car (or bike!) by taking Skyliners Rd. west of Bend. Many people ride roadbikes up and down this road, using the 6 foot bike lanes.
Nearest airport
Redmond Airport RDM is approximately 40 minutes from our home.
Getting around
You'll definitely need a car to stay here (unless you're an avid roadbiker and then you'd do fine to ride in and out of town using the 6 foot bike lanes along Skyliners). A quick 10 minute drive gets you into Northwest Bend, where all the fun shops, amazing restaurants, night life, and more are waiting.
