Our family has taken summer vacation together for the last 10 years. This was one of the best. Craig was an expert host. He was nearby and available when needed but never intrusive. The house was the most well stocked property we have stayed in. It was clean, comfortable and centrally located. Never lacking for activities, we hiked, tubed the river, mountain biked, rode ATV’s , played golf, went to the county fair and rodeo. We also took a day trip to Crater Lake National Park. Highly recommended home in Bend.

Quirky Home, With a Big Surprise
Overall, the house was pretty great. It was very quirky, comfortable, and well stocked.Pros: ample space, kitchen was loaded with supplies, safe/quiet neighborhood, hot tub and outdoor area are very enjoyable (note: there is a sauna not for use by guests). Cons: rooms are small, the neighborhood is not walkable to town and somewhat inconvenient to get to by car, owner’s quarters are attached to the unit. The reason the overall score is so low: during our walkthrough, the owner surprised us with the news that there would be construction work on the outside of the home during the second day of our stay (later again surprised that there would be more the third day). This work was to be strictly outside. Because he was so nice and I didn't want to put him out, I agreed that it would be okay. What I did not agree to - and only found out about because my younger sister stayed behind alone while the rest of us went skiing - was having construction workers let themselves in unannounced and make themselves at home - even going number two in one of the bathrooms. I was assured by the owner that they did not have the code or access to the home, but never received clarity on how they were able to enter. Not only was it extremely uncomfortable and frightening for my sister, but we also had valuable belongings out in the open that we would have preferred to put away. At a bare minimum, I expect safety and security during a stay, and those expectations were not met.
