About this property

Private Riverfront Log Cabin Retreat on 1.5 Acres, Bordering the National Forest

Enjoy all that central Oregon has to offer from this lovely, spacious handcrafted log home with over 100 feet of river frontage on the Deschutes River. About 10 minutes southwest of Sunriver, 30 minutes from Bend and 30 minutes from Mt. Bachelor, this is the perfect vacation spot for rest, relaxation or outdoor fun. From a peaceful 1.5 acre setting at the end of a quiet paved road, bordering National Forest on one side and the river on another, you can set out by bike, kayak, paddle board, on foot, or by car to enjoy the beauty of the area.

The great room features reclaimed wood flooring and a lodge-style, floor to ceiling stone and steel 2-sided gas fireplace, perfect for cozy evenings indoors. Two-story windows look out on the expansive lawn and Deschutes River. The dining room table expands to seat up to 10, with additional breakfast bar seating for 4. A well-equipped kitchen includes granite counters, double wall ovens, dishwasher, electric cook top, waffle iron, coffee maker, espresso machine, crock pot, blender & more. The backyard deck and campfire area are lovely spots to enjoy an evening drink or dinner. A 6-person spa is a great place to relax in every season. Enjoy our wine refrigerator and wine honor bar- take a bottle, leave a bottle of your favorite wine. For baby, there is a convertible high chair/booster seat & Pack-N-Play.

Two bedrooms on the first floor (including the master) each have a queen bed with Kingsdown quality mattresses. The master bath (no shower) features an inviting two-person Jacuzzi tub. One additional hall bath with shower and tub serves the first floor. Two second floor bedrooms share a hall bath with tub, shower and double sinks. One of these second-floor bedrooms has 1 queen bed, and the other 2 queen beds in a bunk bed arrangement.

An upstairs loft area includes games, cards, puzzles and one TV with Netflix and DVD player (please note, there is no cable TV, but guests are able to use our Netflix account, as well as access their own HBO, Amazon Prime Video, Sling TV or other streaming services.) The house does have high-speed wifi.

Three kayaks (2 single and 1 tandem), two stand up paddle boards, and 4 (adult) bikes are available for guest use. (Kayaks and paddle boards available spring through autumn only, due to weather and river levels). You can launch your kayak or paddle board right from our yard, and have someone pick you up downriver! There's a ping pong table in the (unheated) garage.

There is no air conditioning in this home, but fans are provided for each bedroom. Generally, on the river, the weather cools down nicely at night, even on the hottest summer days.

Aveeno toiletries are provided for guests' use, in each bathroom.

We love our pets, and you do, too! This house is pet-friendly, and while we make every effort to keep it sparkling clean, please be aware if you do have pet allergies.
- Please, no pets on furniture
- Separate rental agreement and liability release (for swimming, bikes, and watercraft) must be signed by guest

PLEASE NOTE: At this time, we are not hosting weddings. For more information, please contact us.

Long weekend winter stay

Our families met for a wonderful pre-Christmas stay. We had such a lovely time, the house was a great location and beautiful setting. There were so many extras, making our stay stress free. We can’t wait to visit again—next time in the warmer months so we can enjoy summer activities!

A perfect property!

This house and property are more beautiful than the pictures reflect! Perfect for a long or short stay. Loved sitting by the river with coffee in the morning, dropping a line in the water. Was wonderful having kayaks and paddle boards as an option, although we didn’t have time to use them. Next visit … easy access to Bend and Crater Lake! Hope to return to this property with family next year!

Amazing Home

This home is exactly as pictured and it was a perfect stay for our family. The location was right on the river (wonderful views) and exactly what we needed for our kayak trips. We could float downstream or we could put in upstream and float to the house. We biked and hiked through beautiful forest land. The house is the best equipped home we have ever stayed in. We hope to make this our stay every summer. A big thank you to the owners who have thought of every detail and are great communicators. We highly recommend.

Relaxing and Beautiful!

This home was perfect for six of us and our two dogs— could easily fit & comfortably. it was about 30 minutes to Mt Bachelor for some of us to ski and snowboard, and come back to the hot tub! Very quiet neighborhood and large property for playing in the snow, which was plentiful this year in late March (6-8 in fell one night). We brought board games, but there also were many already there too. Great/easy walking along the roads in the friendly neighborhood with the dogs (given too much snow to hike). Will consider making this an annual trip!

Best Cabin on the. Deschutes

This property is is gorgeous. Right on the river surrounded by forest land. Easy hiking trails steps from the cabin. All bedrooms were well appointed with custom log furniture. We spent our days hiking and enjoying the river. Our dogs were in heaven. Will definitely stay again. Just waiting for next summer’s dates to be available to book. Carla

Calmness

Loved everything. Great view, perfectly placed sitting areas that made it feel secluded. ** only slight issue was next door neighbors had some loud arguments in the middle of the night with lots of profanity. Other than that, incredible home and beautiful area!

Wonderful location! Will book again.

The property and home was great. Clean, prime location right on the river. Hosts were very sweet even gave us a little welcome basket. The cleanest I have ever seen a log home. Very few cobwebs and clean bathrooms. We will definitely refer to others and book again in the future.

Excellent spot for family getaway

My family rented this property for an early Thanksgiving get-together. We ran into a few small issues - one of the ovens didn’t work, an outdoor spigot broke after a surprise snow/ freeze, and a piece broke off one of the bikes unexpectedly - but the owners were very communicative when I reached out. The home and yard are beautiful and private, our dogs loved the running space! Lots of activities and amenities at the house. We would definitely return. Highly recommend!

Perfect getaway

Our family just finished staying at this amazing property for 6 nights. There were 4 older teens and the rest were adults. Everything was perfect- beautiful location on the river, plenty of space for 10 people, and pretty house with a lot of nice touches for guests. We floated, kayaked, biked, went on nearby hikes, soaked in the hot tub and enjoyed family dinners prepared in the roomy kitchen. It was also nice to have spices and condiments to use if we had forgotten something. We will be back again. Thanks for such a lovely rental!

Best Family Getaway EVER!

We rented this beautiful home for a getaway with our adult children and their families. Kelly and Jim have thought of EVERYTHING, which made our stay even more enjoyable. From kayaking and tubing, cornhole and horseshoes, to cycling and ping pong, everyone had an amazing time! My wife was thrilled with how incredibly clean the house was when we arrived and overjoyed when she noticed the quality of the knives (she’s pretty picky). This was the perfect place to spend some quality time with our family. We will be booking our next family adventure at this same property soon! Thank you Kelly and Jim for offering your beautiful home for others to enjoy!

Amazing home and location.

Beautiful home with great amenities. Everything about the stay was relaxing. Multiple deer walking through the yard, quiet dead-end road, great deck to relax on. It’s only 10 minutes to Sunriver yet feels like a different world, quiet, without the hustle and bustle that Sunriver seems to have become lately.

About the host

Hosted by Kelly & Jim

Host profile image
We are parents of 3 wonderful children, Jim's a scientist and Kelly's a Realtor. We love the outdoors: hiking, camping, fishing, bike riding, floating down a river, and spending time with our family!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this home the minute we saw it. Even though it wasn't for sale at the time, we were driving around the area, saw it in waist-deep snow, and knew we had to find a way to try to make this our dream retreat for our families and friends, and our guests and future friends! We love the gently sloping lawn to a beautiful, accessible section of the river, all the nearby wildlife, the National Forest next door, and all the special features of this wonderful log home!
