The Space:
This quaint 650-square-foot apartment attached to the main house.

This home sits in the Deschutes River Woods on the edge of Deschutes National Forest. This comfortably decorated apartment shares a wall with the main house but has its own private entrance and back patio.
The main spaces of the apartment:
- Cozy-cottage-style furnishings in the bedroom and living room, separated by a ½ wall with no door. (For groups of 3+ please take this into account for privacy.)
- The bedroom features a comfy queen-sized bed.
- A well-equipped kitchen with all you'd need to prepare simple meals to enjoy at home or in the backyard in nature! Coffee maker there too!
- There’s 1 full bathroom with a stand-in shower and nice-sized vanity.
- Spacious front patio with seating to breathe in nature and enjoy your morning coffee!
- Large front yard surrounded by pine trees and forest scents.
- Private back patio area with a BBQ grill and a view of the forest and the occasional deer passing by to graze!
This place is perfect for two adults in the room with a queen-size bed and a child or an adult who doesn’t mind sleeping on a small futon, approximately 4’x4’ in size. (*Please note before booking for 3 that the futon may not be ideal for all adults.) A Pack ‘n Play is also available upon request in the event you’re traveling with a baby or toddler.
The home is situated in the forest and surrounded by large pine trees. You can expect plenty of wildlife encounters and we often have a family of deer graze in the backyard! It’s a beautiful sight. What’s more, you may be enjoying it from your bed with a view!
