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.

We have been to Bend many times and for this trip we decided to try and stay closer to the hiking trails, near waterfalls and somewhere secluded and private. Megan’s home fit the bill and we could walk from the house to the trailhead that takes you to the Tumalo waterfalls - great trail! We were concerned about the heat in Bend (90 degrees) but Megan let us know that the house stays quite cool as it’s tucked away in the trees and is always shaded. Thankfully she was right as there is no AC and the fans were not working right. The house stayed nice and cool throughout the day. The home has a very interesting and unique layout with no designated living room or dining room. There was a table on the deck, but unfortunately we didn’t get to use it as the mosquitoes were really bad during our stay - bring bug spray! Minimalistic home setup so we did have to shop for a few items. The upstairs king bed was quite comfortable! If you sleep late or need blackout shades, bring an eye mask as there are no window shades. However, the forest views were beautiful and we enjoyed watching the rain fall and the trees sway during an afternoon thunderstorm. We appreciate Megan accepting our globe stay 😊 -
Absolutely Perfect Getaway! We had the most incredible stay at Megan’s cabin escape in Bend! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The cabin was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had that perfect mix of rustic charm and modern comfort. The wood-burning stove made it feel extra warm and inviting, the view of their back deck is breathtaking the creek and all the trees are beautiful. Waking up to the sounds of the forest and the view of tall pines right outside the windows was pure magic, we hiked the nearby waterfall that was the highlight of our trip, exploring downtown Bend, and relaxing under the stars in the hot tub. It truly felt like a peaceful retreat, yet it was close enough to town for anything we needed. Megan was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, she’s a great host and now friend. . You can tell they put a lot of love into this place. We didn’t want to leave — and we’re already planning our return trip. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing, nature-filled escape! -
Beautiful cabin home in the middle of the woods. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here - Bend was a great location to explore and also a base for many day trips - lots to see! Megan was very forthcoming with all the information we needed to know as well as responsive to our queries. We were able to meet when she stopped by with her sons to drop off delicious pastries from the local bakery. We would love to stay again in the future! -
Megan and her family and friends were wonderful guests. They took excellent care of our dog and our home, leaving behind a happy dog and a spotless house. We'd have them back again in minute. -
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Megan's home! The house itself was beautiful, with every detail carefully thought out. We especially loved the nearby river—such a peaceful spot to relax and unwind. Despite feeling wonderfully secluded, we were just 10 minutes away from the city, which made everything so convenient. Megan was incredibly responsive to all of our questions, making our stay even more enjoyable. I can't recommend this place enough. We'll definitely be back! -
I had a wonderful end-of-spring stay at Megan's house. But first, I'd like to mention how grateful I am to Megan for her flexibility. I'd initially arranged to stay the previous summer with friends visiting from Japan. They both got Covid, which threw everything off. Megan was kind enough to let me reschedule for this year. I came solo with my two dogs and we all had a great time. We went for walks all over the expansive, forested property, and I enjoyed the hot tub by the river, with some snow still left on the ground. The place feels far from civilization, but I was able to have delicious Indian food delivered in less than an hour because the house is actually pretty close to town. I loved the king bed in the primary bedroom and the lack of tv. I didn't have phone service, but their internet is superfast and I was able to make calls via wifi no problem. I would love to return some day if I can. Thanks Megan and family! -
Our stay at Megan's was fantastic. This is a beautiful home in the woods, in a quiet and peaceful setting about 15 minutes from downtown Bend. For someone who loves nature and being outdoors this is a dream! We were able to go mountain biking just down the road, hiking nearby past many waterfalls, took a drive to stunning mountain lakes, and enjoyed the local coffee shops. Megan was easily available if we had any questions. We'd be happy to come back and stay again anytime!

We are Megan & Garrett and our twin 10 year old boys. We worldschool so we travel many times each year when we aren’t enjoying our home base in Bend, Oregon. We love exploring new places and dive in to learn all we can about the culture and history of the places we visit. My passion is bringing literature to life through travel so we always pick some family books to read aloud together about the places we go. ❤️
