🌲 Outdoors
The outdoor area features a paved driveway with basketball hoop, fenced side yard, riverfront deck, private hot tub, fire pit, and large outdoor chess set — all surrounded by forest and river views. The long paved driveway offers ample parking for boats, snowmobiles, ATVs, or trailers, making this an ideal base camp for Central Oregon adventures.
🔥 Fire Pit & Firewood (Important)
The property has an outdoor fire pit, but firewood is not provided. Guests may purchase firewood locally. Outdoor fires are regulated by the La Pine Fire District, and seasonal restrictions are common, especially in summer and early fall. Guests must call the La Pine Rural Fire Protection District burn line before using the fire pit to confirm whether fires are allowed during their stay. Burn status can change daily based on conditions.
🎣 Fishing & River Access
The property sits directly on the Big Deschutes River, with easy river access from the backyard. Fishing from the riverfront is popular, with both fly fishing and spin fishing depending on season and conditions. Just minutes away is Fall River, known for world-class fly fishing, along with Fall River Falls — a scenic and easy hike. A valid Oregon fishing license is required. Licenses are easy to purchase online or at local sporting goods stores in Sunriver or Bend, and current regulations apply to the Deschutes River.
🐾 Dog-Friendly
We love dogs and welcome yours too! An additional pet fee applies. Please let us know in advance if your dog(s) will be joining you. There is a fenced side yard next to the house and deck, with the hot tub in it.
