Amazing new listing from Superhost with over 500 five star reviews (from competing platform)!
Located above the Prineville Reservoir with a 180° view of the lake and mountains. Only a 2 minute walk to the beach, and we provide kayaks, paddle boards, and beach gear for you! Beach is accessed by walking down our hill and across the road, or by walking/driving the brief distance to the lake.
Bringing a boat? No problem! Our 800 square foot parking area can accommodate several cars, or a combination of cars, boats, and even RVs. There are 2 boat launches within a couple miles, or launch your boat from the beach below our house.
Family reunion, friend gathering, or small weddding/event; this is your spot! With an unobstructed 180° view of the lake, it's certain to be a time to remember!
We strive to make this house a place where you can relax, unwind, have fun, and do all of that without too much advance preparation.
Our wrap-around porch and patio are loaded with comfy chairs, tables, a gas fire pit, and the hammock is an excellent napping spot! In the evening, enjoy our premium stargazing; this area received the rare International Dark Sky Park designation, bringing visitors from all over the world!
We've stocked the house with indoor and outdoor entertainment...kayaks, paddle boards, beach canopy, board and card games, jigsaw puzzles, etc., and even have wagons to haul your stuff the short walk to the beach!
The house is ready for you to easily feed your group: gas grill, Traeger smoker, toaster oven/air fryer, Kitchenaid mixer, Vitamix blender, rice cooker, Instant Pot, slow cooker, and all the pots, pans, and dishes you'd hope for, and large indoor and outdoor dining tables to gather around.
The house has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The master bedroom upstairs has a king size bed and ensuite bathroom. The two downstairs bedrooms have queen size beds and share a bathroom between them. All 3 bedrooms have TVs, as does the living room.
Bringing a small child? No problem! We have a deluxe Pack n Play for your use, including bassinet setup and diaper changing area. We also have toddler and youth-size PFDs, baby books and toys, safety gates, and even a couple sippy cups.
Other things to note:
1). Our chalet-style home is open concept, with the master bedroom being separated from the catwalk by blackout curtains, so limited privacy. The catwalk is where you'll find a small home gym, and space to use our two comfy adult-size cots, and/or our deluxe Pack n Play.
2). To preserve our view, we've chosen not to cover any of our south-facing windows. In the morning, the catwalk is bathed in light at sunrise...but we provide complimentary sleep masks!
3) To aid in cleaning up after being at the beach, we have a shower, toilet, and sink in the basement, right by the driveway. This is the 3rd bathroom and requires exiting the house and heading downstairs. The laundry room is in the same area.
4). The property is fully fenced, partly with 6.5' deer fence, the rest with 4' rolled fencing.
5). We live in wildfire country, and sometimes have to tolerate smoky air. In our experience, it blows out pretty quickly. We recommend guests download the Watch Duty app to stay informed of any local fires, but we'll also let you know if there's anything to be concerned about.
5). Absolutely NO WOOD FIRES during summer months; it's life-threatening and illegal! Please enjoy the gas fireplace on the terrace.
6). We live in a wild place, and count on the birds, spiders, and bats to keep the flying insect population in check. There are 2 bat houses on our property to encourage bats to focus their attention on our little slice of heaven. You'll likely find little bat droppings on the balcony and deck floor (looks like mouse poop, but it's not). We clean it up every day, but it's back in the morning, because the bats are hungry and what goes in must come out! Don't worry, you won't see any bats unless you're outside after dark.
7). We have a highly efficient heat pump which easily heats the house in winter and cools the house in summer. We typically keep the heat at 68 and the AC at 72, but you are welcome to adjust the thermostat to your comfort-level. Please note, the pellet stove in the living room is not operable and not part of this rental.
