Romantic Luxury on Private Lake w/Hot Tub & Amazing Views

The Hillside Cabin is an incredibly romantic luxury cabin 2 bedroom/2 bath (sleeps 5) 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 one of five luxury vacation rental homes at Tumalo Lake Lodge (tumalolakelodge). 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. There is a half bath on this floor.

The second floor features gorgeous high-pitched wood ceilings, two charming queen bedroom suites with private baths and a second living room area. The upstairs living area has huge windows with commanding views of the lake and a queen sofa bed. Bedrooms feature iron beds with quilts, cozy down comforters and pillows, and high thread count sheets. Each bedroom has amazing views in three directions and also has two large window seats perfect for curling up with a good book. The ensuite baths feature either a large walk-in shower or bathtub, granite counter tops, Italian tile, radiant heated floors, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion amenities and hair dryer.

There are a multitude of activities and amenities right out your door on the Tumalo Lake property. Enjoy hiking (there is a wonderful 2-mile hike around the lake and other longer ones), mountain biking, swimming, boating (complimentary kayaks, canoes, SUPs), fishing (no license required), birding, and playing cornhole and horseshoes. Relax on your private deck in a hammock or at the shared fire pit or lake deck, and stargaze from your private hot tub. While wildlife viewing from your deck, the lake deck or on the lake in your kayak/canoe you may spot ducks, blue heron, osprey, golden eagles, bald eagles as well as great horned owl, pileated woodpecker and others. In winter, snowshoe, sled, x-country ski, cozy up around your wood-burning stove or outside with s'mores at the shared fire pit.

Bend and the surrounding area are world-famous for both outdoor pursuits and pristine beauty. You can catch an art exhibit, dine at an award-winning restaurant, shop the boutiques, spoil yourself at one of our many spas, trek the legendary Bend Ale Trail, listen to live music or a enjoy a local festival. Bend makes a great spot for family-friendly fun as well, from cool snowshoe tours in some of Bend's snowy forests to watching raptors soar at the High Desert Museum.

The area is a haven for summer and winter activities including river and mountain hiking, biking, golf, river rafting, fly fishing, rock climbing, skiing, and snow shoeing. View or hike around breathtaking mountain lakes. Visit stunning national and state parks: Newberry National Volcanic Monument (a fascinating collection of volcanic landscapes, lava flows, jagged volcanic glass, rivers, lakes, caves, hot springs, waterfalls, and forests) and Smith Rock State Park (a dramatic setting with great hiking, rock climbing and wildlife viewing that has been the backdrop of many western movies). Whether right on the property or the area close by, we have it all!

Top notch cabin and lake experience
We had an incredible stay at the Tumalo Lake Lodge and Cabins! Our Hillside cabin was luxurious and fully equipped with top-notch appliances and everything we needed. We also spent a lot of time at the Lakeside West cabin with our extended family, enjoying delicious meals together. The resort offered endless fun activities - we hiked the 2-mile loop daily, spotting elk and deer, and took advantage of the kayaks, paddle boards and canoes to explore the lake. We even caught some small trout and swam in the crystal-clear water. The kids had a blast playing in the lake. The resort exceeded our expectations in every way. We can't wait to return! 5 stars and highly recommended!

Beautiful peaceful lodge near the water.
This is a lovely property. Our cabin was beautifully built and appointed. The setting is so serene. High quality sheets and towels and many thoughtful touches (lotion, bug spray, condiments, dish cleaner, games...). Loved using the canoes, kayaks and paddle boards. We thoroughly enjoyed preparing meals together, sitting in the hot tub, walking around the lake, hiking the trails nearby. We would DEFINITELY stay here again!

Amazing place and great tenants
Tracy was amazing, we got stuck in bad weather on the way there and lost time for our stay but she made every effort to make our stay incredible. Place was very well stocked, extremely roomy and beautiful. Roads were as advertised, snow packed and plowed regularly. Directions and instructions were clear and correct. Will be staying there again and again.

Just like you'd hope it would be
Loved every bit of this stay and were sorry we didnt book it for longer. The cabin, lake, and property are just as fabulous as they look in the photos and made for a fantastic trip. Clean and fully provisioned, we wanted for nothing more while we were there. We got in a Crater Lake day trip, and visits to Bend, OR. The cabin is nestled in the woods but just a quick drive to Bend. Absolutely considering a revisit!

Beautiful Winter Escape
A perfect place to escape "town" and experience the full beauty of winter! We have been coming here as often as we can for years, and it is always exactly what we need while maintaining the "just in case" proximity to home in Bend. The care and attention to all the things makes this our favorite. From the beautiful road in to the gorgeous cabin of course, well stocked kitchen, bedrooms, firewood, hot tob on a deck while the snow falls.... just perfection. Great for any family or couple to unplug but feel spoiled at the same time.

Absolutely the most beautiful and peaceful lake experience
The lake cabins are exactly as pictured and described. It is hard to believe that the cabins are as beautiful as the photos but they really are. We have visited several times and will again in the future. They really are a precious dream. They are secluded and the privacy of the lake is amazing. Mount Bachelor is a short drive away and the hiking trails around the area are awesome. Tumalo Falls is just minutes away. Definitely one of our favorite get-away places!

Stunning Private Winter Wonderland
The house was beautiful- immaculate. We loved the wood burning stove and the views from every window- absolutely stunning. We loved hiking the loop around the lake and into the woods in the snow and also close to Tumalo falls- that was an amazing hike too. It was very quiet and private. Loved being off the grid and enjoying reading fireside- all the firewood we needed right on the deck. Look forward to coming back in the summer to enjoy paddle boarding on the lake!

Another wonderful stay
We visit Tumalo Lake Lodge every year (usually in late September/early October). We stay at the Hillside Cabin and love it. The cabin is nicely furnished, provides a great view and is very cozy. Bill and Tracy are very responsive and accommodating which is great. We use the cabin as our home base to hike in the Greater Bend area which provides so many wonderful hiking trails. There are several in the immediate vicinity of the cabin. There is a two mile hike around Tumalo Lake which is a nice extra to relax the muscles after a long hike in the mountains. Also, the hot tub on the patio is a nice feature to relax after a long day of hikes. We are already planning our next trip to Tumalo Lake Lodge.

Absolutely amazing
From the moment you drive up, you realize this is no ordinary cabin. Inside and out is top quality. Someone cared how this was designed, built and layed out. Every room faces the beautiful lake. The wood stove keeps you warm and toasty as do The heated tile floors. Windows everywhere. Once you are there you will not want to go home. Relaxing there is so easy. The spa is right on the deck with a wonderful view. We've been there twice and will book again for fall. Thanks so much Bill and Traci. You guys out did yourselves.

Solitude and Homey
We wanted to get away for spring break and explore somewhere new for all of us. Bend is the half way for all of us as we were coming from different places. Though the cabin was still surrounded in snow and the lake frozen, we had a wonderful time relaxing and playing games in the cabin before we heard into town for adventures. Workers came to shovel snow on the walking path to the parking spaces and sweep the deck for us twice while there. The cabin and our experience was amazing. We will definitely come back during a warmer time of the year, so that we can enjoy more of the amenities this cabin has to offer.

Yet Another Great Getaway to Nature’s Camelot
So this year I added 4 additional days to what I hope will become an annual stay at the amazing, secluded, beautiful, and private Tumalo Lake-Hillside Cabin. I remembered the feeling of having to leave last year and so I knew I had to add additional days this year. What’s not to love about this utopia?! You have all the comforts of a home away from home and yet you still feel like you’re light years away from the rat race and all of the stress from within and around it. I especially love that the property these cabins sit on is a private and sanctioned area of wilderness, nestled in a small valley (comparatively) of a Deschutes Wilderness Preserve. It is literally and figuratively speaking a nature sanctuary. I love the reactions I get when show pictures and videos of my stay at Hillside Cabin. And I’d bet a significant amount of money that if you ever made one of the smartest vacation commitments to stay here, you’ll never forget the private, two mile dirt road drive up to the gated entrance, and continuing on to the cabins. The experience as a whole just gets better and better, and better. There’s so much to do, see, experience, and take in. I’m not even exaggerating when I convey to you that even staying indoors is an experience in and of itself. I can’t wait until my next booking! My preferred time to visit is in the Winter. Postcard perfect and yes, though you’re comfortable and toasty indoors, it can get very cold outdoors but it’s an experience for all of the senses that you never forget. Me personally; I love sound crunchy snow in the morning! Sounds like…Victory!

Our HAPPY PLACE!
This was our 3rd visit to Tumalo Lake Lodge and we had an amazing time AGAIN! The "cabins" are actually more like high quality luxury HOMES with all amenities considered. The Hillside home was in exactly the same pristine condition it was in 2016, which demonstrates a detailed level of cleaning and maintenance. The homes are well stocked and there are cooking supplies if you plan to cook (salt, pepper, spices, oil, sugar, etc...). We also had all of the cookware, pans, etc... needed to cook our meals. Also, plenty of cleaning supplies, sponges, etc...(the basics). The radiant floor heat is sooooo nice! This is the nicest feature that we enjoy so much. The thick walls and high quality windows make it so quiet and insulated. It was zero degrees one night and it cozy warm. We had the wood burning stove going starting in late afternoon each day. There is plenty of kindling and wood supplied. The home is perfectly suited for cooking, games, wine, snacks, reading, and naps. The rooms and beds are so comfortable. We slept like babies. The view out each of the windows towards the lake is amazing. Like a painting/picture. All of the linens and towels are high quality. The hot water and showers are HOT! The hot tub outside on the deck with the lake view a stone's throw away is so great. Clean and hot. The view of the lake through the deck is so pretty. The lake was frozen over and when outside it was really, really quiet. You could hear a pin drop. So tranquil. We had our snow shoes and did the 2 mile loop around the lake two days. The snow was about 1-2 feet deep, but trail is well marked with pink ribbons on trees. There are a lot of bunny foot prints in the snow. We didn't hear the owls this trip, unfortunately. Such a nice hike. Bring your schnaps! The maintenance crew were awesome and friendly, scraping our deck area, and the paths from the home each day. The shared firepit by the lake is so awesome. Wood and kindling supplied. We do like the no pets policy, because it preserves the tranquil environment and the overall quality of the homes. It is obvious there have been no pets in the homes. We hope it stays this way. We are so thankful for this lovely retreat in the woods and will be back again soon (not soon enough!). Thank you Tracy and Bill!

Another wonderful stay
The cabins at Tumalo Lake are about 15 minutes from downtown Bend. They are beautiful, quiet and have everything you need for a relaxing stay. We come every fall for a week and always enjoy the Hillside Cabin (we are a party of two). We love the outdoors. There are several good hiking trails in the vicinity. Tracy and Bill are great hosts. They keep the cabins and the entire property in great shape. They are very responsive and cooperative. We will definitely return.
