Adventure Awaits Right Outside the Door

One of the best things about this cabin is its location. Only about 2.5 miles from Tumalo Falls, you’ll have quick access to some of the most scenic trails in Central Oregon. Whether it’s hiking in the warmer months or snowshoeing in winter, there’s always an adventure waiting. The Tumalo Falls area is especially beautiful, and the short distance makes it easy to pack a lunch and take a scenic hike to the falls and beyond.

Mountain bikers will love the nearby trails, which range from beginner-friendly paths to more challenging routes for seasoned riders. And when winter rolls in, cross-country skiing trails pop up in the area, transforming the landscape into a snowy paradise.

Bend: A Quick Trip for Food, Brews, and Fun

Even though the cabin feels remote, it’s only a short drive to Bend, which makes it easy to balance peaceful cabin vibes with a bit of city fun. Bend is packed with craft breweries, unique eateries, and charming shops. For a day in town, you might start with a morning coffee and breakfast, then explore the Deschutes River or Drake Park for some local scenery. When the evening rolls around, choose from Bend’s award-winning breweries and restaurants, giving you plenty of options to satisfy any craving.

Seasonal Beauty and Practical Tips

Each season brings its own charm to the cabin’s surroundings. In winter, when the snow blankets the ground, it’s a true winter wonderland. A 4WD or all-wheel-drive vehicle is recommended in snowy conditions since the last half-mile of road is gravel, but the drive itself is part of the adventure. If you’re planning to stay between mid-November and mid-March, the nightly rate is adjusted slightly to cover propane heating, ensuring the cabin stays cozy.

In fall, the forest bursts into rich colors, adding a special magic to the scenery around the cabin. It’s the perfect time to sit on the porch with a hot drink and soak up the quiet beauty. Spring and summer bring a lush green forest alive with wildflowers and fresh mountain air—a perfect season for early morning hikes and late afternoon mountain biking.

A Getaway Tailored for Nature Lovers

With no Wi-Fi and limited cell service, this cabin is a true unplugged experience, a chance to disconnect from digital distractions and reconnect with the natural world. There’s something unique about waking up surrounded by forest sounds, warming up by the gas fireplace, and spending the day exploring Central Oregon’s stunning landscapes.
