The space
The Hillside Cabin is an incredibly romantic luxury cabin overlooking Tumalo Lake surrounded by ponderosa pine trees, located just 12 miles west of downtown Bend. Situated on a unique 640-acre private parcel of forested land surrounded on all sides by the Deschutes National Forest, there are limitless trails for hiking, biking, x-country skiing and snowshoeing and the private lake offers free fishing, kayaking, canoeing and SUP. There is a wonderful 2-mile hike around the lake, a lakeside deck with chairs and a picnic table, a swimming dock and a lakeside fire pit (not allowed during fire season).
The Hillside Cabin is a high-end masterpiece of craftsmanship, constructed of huge Douglas Fir beams, cedar siding and shakes. Huge windows in every room provide a tree-house sensation with amazing views of nature in every direction. The large wrap-around deck and comfortable Adirondack chairs and rockers allow for relaxing in the fresh air while taking in the gorgeous natural surroundings and views.
The beautiful furnishings create an ambiance of casual luxury. The cabin's interior features knotty pine wood walls, doors and trim, knotty alder cabinets, and granite counter tops. The first floor open floor plan includes radiant heated floors and decorative rugs. The living area has a wood-burning stove and huge windows with lake views. The dining area has floor to ceiling windows with views of nature on all sides. The kitchen area features granite counter tops and stainless appliances including a Jenn-Air professional stove.

The upstairs living area has huge windows with commanding views of the lake and a queen sofa bed.
