Suzette is a Star Host

Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.

I wanted a peaceful place to call home. I found this property after a long search with a very patient and kind realtor. I fell in love with it almost immediately. The ponds bring wonderful wildlife that I enjoy watching and listening to….birds, frogs and many other animals. I wanted a property where I could have space to have horses or other farm animals if I chose to. I have not chosen to acquire them as of yet, but I like having the option. I love sharing this spot with others. The stars are incredibly brighter than most places and there is very little noise pollution as well. I call it my Little Desert Oasis. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Learn more about this land: I offer Standard RV plug in electricity and water. Sorry no toilet facilities at all. So you must have your own self-contained bathroom set up in your rig. No tent camping is it allowed. Trailers and vans with toilet are a perfect fit. It feels like country out here with horses, sheep llamas etc. small farms all around. Yet close to town, just a mile away from Highway 97 and about 3 miles away from Highway 20 near Tumalo. I think you will find the location convenient as it is only 15 minutes from the Redmond Airport, about 20 minutes to Sisters Oregon and downtown Bend is an easy 8 mile drive.There are pretty views of ponds joined by a creek and small waterfalls. The water features attract lots of wildlife! You will likely see deer, wild ducks, quail, hawks and many other types of birds. I even had a duck build a nest next to the pond last year and hatch a clutch of ducklings. There are several small Aspen trees and old junipers near the campsite next to the ponds. If the night sky and stars don’t take your breath away, the frogs will surely serenade you to sleep! There is a little view of the mountains as well. The site is centrally located for easy access to Highway 24 Highway 97. Trader Joe’s, Food 4 Less, Target, Starbucks and a outdoor shopping malls are only 5 miles away. Numerous restaurants are also only 5 miles from the home. There are more than a half a dozen breweries within 8 miles and 45 minutes to Mount Bachelor. The quaint little town of Tumalo is only 3 miles down the road. There you will find a cool taproom (The Bite) with outdoor seating, corn hole and yummy food carts. In addition, there is a great pizza joint and Tumalo Cider Bar. Tumalo State Park is less than 5 miles away. Riley Ranch Nature Preserve is also less than 5 miles away and well worth the trip!I offer a Standard 30 Amp electrical RV plug and water. Sorry no toilet facilities at all.

Relax by the pond!

What a great little spot, convenient to get to town just minutes down a country road. Eric and Suzette were very pleasant and I sure enjoyed their pond and birdwatching, a nice spot to just relax.

Best spot in Bend

17 ft travel trailer

Beautiful stay. Very private, the road the house is on doesn't seem to get a lot of traffic and the camping area is tucked in the back. Nice fenced in area my dogs got to run around in after a long drive. And the pond! 😍 The chorus of frogs at night were the best music.

Friendly and accommodating. Making sure we had everything we needed. We liked the space enough to go back a second night.

Felt very secluded. Suzette was welcoming and offered assistance if we needed it. There is a fenced area where we parked, to let our little dog run around safe. Even had a table and chairs set up. I would definitely recommend and use in the future if we are in that area.
