In winter, snowshoe, sled, x-country ski, cozy up around your wood-burning stove or outside with s'mores at the shared fire pit.
Bend and the surrounding area are world-famous for both its outdoor pursuits and pristine beauty. You can catch an art exhibit, dine at an award-winning restaurant, shop the boutiques, spoil yourself at one of our many spas, trek the legendary Bend Ale Trail, listen to live music or a enjoy a local festival. Bend makes a great spot for family-friendly fun as well, from cool snowshoe tours in some of Bend's snowy forests to watching raptors soar at the High Desert Museum.
The area is a haven for summer and winter activities including river and mountain hiking, biking, golf, river rafting, fly fishing, rock climbing, skiing, and snow shoeing. View or hike around breathtaking mountain lakes.

Whether right on the property or the area close by, we have it all!

Amazing. Beautiful, private winter wonderland. House was gorgeous, plenty of room for our family. We loved that we were surrounded by snow even though Bend had none. Hosts were helpful and responsive. 15 min to Bend; 40 to the slopes.
For the right travelers, this is a great place. We loved the (almost) private lake, and really appreciated the quality amenities (hammocks, kayaks, Brand name Jacuzzi, etc). Cabin is well built, and there is plenty of places to spread out an enjoy the vacation without stepping on each other. Everything is quality throughout. Loved watching the bald Eagle. Again, the owners did not cut corners on anything, and it makes a huge difference. If you are someone for which a TV or good cell phone reception is important, this may not be the place for you. There is pretty good WiFi, but even with WiFi phone connections are not very good in some parts of the house. One is kind of far away from shopping and restaurants- no problem for us. For us, this was a great fit, and can’t wait to go back.
We stayed in the Lakeside West cabin and the photos don’t fully capture the beauty of the place. It’s not often that you find places that are stocked with literally everything. Tracy & Bill were a pleasure to work with and we’ll definitely be back. This one is a gem.
We just completed our 3rd visit to the Tumalo Lake Lodge - we have gone in the middle of the Winter, and twice over the Summer. Tracy and Bill are phenomenal hosts and caretakers of this amazing property. We are so grateful they share it with us. The cabins are beautiful, private and well maintained... we have come to rely on the nice quality cookware, fresh towels, comfortable beds, stocked wood, daily garbage service and clean hot tub. The water is so fresh, cold and good. Do not bring bottled water, or you will miss out on amazing tasting water. My husband laughed at me when I filled up our water bottles to take some home with us. The lake is beautiful - we saw eagles, baby ducks, rainbow trout, and dear. We enjoyed swimming in it, and using the boats provided. The lodge is only a few minute drive to Tumalo Falls, and many hiking trails for non stop entertainment. It is magical, and we will of course be returning.
We had a wonderful 6 night stay. My brother had stayed in one of the cabins a year or two ago and we came to celebrate his and my sister in law's birthdays based on his recommendation. We had a total of 3 cabins with 14 people. We had a great time at and around the lake and in the cabins. We enjoyed hiking, canoeing, kayaking, flat boarding and swimming. Also, just sitting on the decks and visiting was awesome. We made several trips to the surrounding areas for hiking and sight seeing. Great weather and Great location. The cabins were well stocked and and well kept. We flew into Portland from Michigan and Tennessee and rented a car. We had day on the front and tail end to do some driving to and from PDX to see the beautiful countryside.
This place is truly special. We have stayed in hundreds of homes over the years and without a doubt, this was my favorite EVER!!! Everything was perfect! I was traveling to Bend for a quick trip with my son for a concert. When I found this place, I knew it was much larger (and more expensive) than what we needed but it looked so cool I rented it anyways. Soooo glad I did. We felt like we were the only ones on the whole lake! Started our morning by canoeing out onto the lake and reading our books! It was just amazingly beautiful! Coffee on the rocking chairs overlooking the lake. Wish I could wake up to that every morning! The two mile hike around the lake was, in my opinion, just so-so but I'd still do it if I were there again so.... If you are looking at this place, rent it! I'll be going back!!!
These are no ordinary cabins. They are luxury homes surrounded by a lake and forest. Meticulous attention to every detail made this one of our most enjoyable vacations ever. The serenity of this lakeside property and close proximity to town makes for a getaway we'll never forget. Thank you Tracy and Bill!
Tumalo Lake Lodge is such a special place. Quiet, romantic, beautiful! We loved the lodge and felt right at home. Our hostess, Tracy, is wonderful and cares so much about her guests. We highly recommend Tumalo Lake Lodge as the perfect destination for your next vacation!
We spent a week at this property with 6 total adults. We had a great time and are already planning our next trip back the property. The cabin was quite nice and provided a nice base for us to hang out, cook and share meals, get some great sleep. It is perched up on a hill, so unloading and loading can involve some steps up from below, or a drive up the steep driveway. The deck is a great place to hang outside. I loved the east/west orientation - you can always find sun or shade depending on your preference. The water pressure is a little low in the show, but hey, this place is mostly off the grid. There are some picky layout / design things with the kitchen, but everyone has an option. The only issue we had was a pesky smoke detector battery failing on Sunday night after we all went to bed. Yeah, you know that chirp you can't place, you sit awake listening... and listening, and then there it is. This one was a bit obnoxious and way high up in the vaulted bedroom ceiling. We texted the owners and they came by with the extension ladder and addressed the problem. I don't think any of us were excited about the issue at 11pm on a Sunday night, but it was addressed quickly and we had great nights sleep through the rest of the week. The lake is very pretty. It's kinda of a big pond with a deep hole in the center. Did not go swimming, though there is a swim to dock and access. As a kid, I would have gone in. As an adult, I tend to avoid muddy bottom lakes with a lot of vegetation. All that said, the paddle craft is great to get out on. We saw opsrey diving for fish, deer eat along the shore, baby ducks (!), plenty of birds, and our friend caught 3 rainbow trout in 5 minutes flyfishing off the rowboat. The cabins are spaced out well and we rarely heard a peep from the other guests. Most of the time, it was only apparent there were others around when we heard them on on the lake trail or someone was on the water or at the dock. This place feels remote, but is barely 20 minutes from downtown Bend. Tumalo Falls is a relatively easy hike - the hiking and mountain bike trails a plenty! Really quite nice all and all. I think you and your family / close friends would have a very nice time.
Lovely place for a quiet and peaceful weekend! Loved the property and location!
Rental through VRBO was convenient. Rental agreement was straightforward and on par. It was evident the place we were going to was well cared for before we arrived. Directions were sent via email were descriptive and any questions we may have had were proactively answered either via an email before our arrival and/or in the welcome book. The property itself is stunning. Everything from the beauty of the cabin itself, to the land around it and nearby, the privacy, and the value were impressive. The ease of getting to and from skiing, hiking trails, Bend, and to and from the airport (RDM) was highly valued. The cost was well worth it. It is a gem. I highly recommend this stay.
