Park in our spacious wrap‑around driveway beneath towering Ponderosa pines, then drift off under a brilliant canopy of stars—no harsh streetlights, just true Central Oregon night skies. For peace of mind, the property is equipped with a motion‑activated light and security cameras to keep you and your gear safe. Wake up to the fresh scent of juniper trees and, if you’re lucky, enjoy a quiet morning watching a local herd of mule deer grazing through the yard. Just across the street, you’ll find access to the Central Oregon Canal Trail, running both east and west. Head east for an easy 5‑minute bike ride to Fred Meyer, Starbucks, and plenty of other conveniences. Go west and you’ll cruise through 123+ acres of forested public land, connecting directly to the Deschutes River Trail—only about 4 minutes away. Once there, adventure is everywhere: fishing, bouldering, biking, swimming, rafting, and wildlife viewing are all just a short walk from the property. Planning a visit to the Old Mill District or Hayden Homes Amphitheater for shopping, dining, drinks, or a concert? It all begins just ¾ of a mile downhill. If you’re viewing this listing, you probably already know what makes Bend such a special destination—world‑class outdoor recreation, great food and drink, and a relaxed mountain‑town vibe. But if you’d like recommendations or local tips, we’re happy to help you find the perfect spot. We’ll continue adding photos and amenities as we grow, and we truly appreciate your interest. If the dates don’t line up this time, we hope to host you on your next trip to Bend. Cheers!Park in our large wrap-around driveway under our beautiful Ponderosa pines and fall asleep to the gorgeous view of the stars with no obnoxious streetlights. Don’t worry, we have a flood light and cameras to keep you and your stuff safe! Then wake up to our local group of mule deer grazing through the yard and views of Tumalo Mountain. Just across the street starts the Canal Trail that heads East and West. A 5 min bike ride East along the trail will take you to a Fred Meyer Grocery store, Starbucks, and much much more. Or take the Canal Trail West through the massive 123+ acres of forested public land that connects directly to the Deschutes River Trail (only 4 mins away). Once there, the outdoor activities are endless! Great fishing, bouldering, biking, swimming, rafting, and nature viewing spots are all within a couple minute walk from our home. Heading to the Old Mill or Hayden Homes Amphitheater for some shopping, a concert, restaurants, or drinks? It all starts 3/4 of a mile down the hill! If you’re viewing this posting, you probably already know all the amazing outdoor and sporting opportunities, entertainment, shopping, and eating that our beautiful town of Bend offers. If you’re still not sure, we’ll be right here to help you find the perfect spot to go! We’ll be continuing to add photos and facilities as time goes on to help better serve you.

Simple, level, shaded spot to stay right off the road so there is traffic noise but it didn’t bother us. 1 mile from The Mill District.There is a historic canal trail about 150 feet from the property. Really ice trail. The dogs loved it. Mike is a friendly host and a pleasure to talk to.

We had a great stay. Mike was very hospitable, friendly, and responsive. He went out of his way to make sure we are settled and ok. The location is great, within 3/4 of the Old Mill District. He also gave us lots of tips of things to do and places to see in beautiful Bend.
