Rocking CR Vacation Rentals Bend / Tumalo in Central Oregon

I come to Bend every few months to visit my parents and have rented quite a few places in the area. This place is by far my favorite. When my parents and I pulled into the property, our hosts were there to greet us. We instantly felt at home. The peace I felt here as I sat on the patio gazing at the mountains and listening to the aspen quake soothed my soul like nothing has in a long time. They say nothing in life is perfect, but this place sure does come close.

We stayed at Caroline and Dougs rental in Tumalo and the stay was so awesome that it felt like we were family. We brought our dear dog Benny for our son and the two beds and bath were perfect and the space outside was very peaceful and relaxing. Doug and Caroline were so informative of the local venues and the nearby park. We even borrowed their floats to try the river.

We loved the closeness to Sisters, the nearby Tumalo (the Bite and the pizza place were great visits) as well as nearby shopping and closeness to everything in Bend including the OSU campus.

We definitely would stay here again and really enjoy the hosts as well, as we kind of feel like family.

If you stay here, you will NEVER regret it. The people, space and views are breathtaking.

Thanks!
Anna and the family.

We absolutely loved staying at the Rocking CR house. We highly recommend staying there if you are visiting Bend, OR. We were there for our son's wedding and we were only 17 minutes away from the venue. Thanks Carol and Doug for your wonderful hospitality! If we ever come back to Bend we will stay there again.

My partner and I loved our week in the Bend Hideaway home. It had everything we needed to relax. Kitchen was well equipped. We enjoyed grilling in the backyard in the evenings and our dog loved being able to run freely in the fenced yard. It was the perfect location for exploring all that Bend has to offer, from bike trails, hikes, beer and cider tasting and exploring the town. I can’t recommend this vacation home enough. We will most definitely be returning. Oh! And the deer wandering through the front yard in the mornings and evenings was an added bonus! Also, there is an off leash dog park just down the street with trails to explore with your pup. The owner pays attention to details and is very attentive if you have any questions.

Great get away spot! We had a lovely stay at this clean, nice cottage. The bed is comfy and cottage stocked with everything you need. 2 BR, 1 BA with open kitchen - living room. Dogs welcome and ours played with the owners and their dogs who live in main house close by. Big fields on property and gorgeous views of the Cascades' 3 Sisters mountains. Nice walks on roads surrounding property and Deschutes River. Tumalo State Park a few miles away, the fun town of Sisters about 10 miles. Bend is 10 miles too.

The Cottage at CR Ranch is a perfect place to rest and restore. We loved our time there and our hosts were attentive, helpful and caring. We would return in a heartbeat and have our friends and family stay there as well. You couldn't find a better base camp from which to explore all the area has to offer.

We had a wonderful time at the Rocking CR Vacation Rentals Guest House! The home was in a beautiful, convenient location, everything was clean and there were some thoughtful touches that really set the place apart. I would love to come back and spend more time there someday!

My family needed a temporary home after selling our house and Caroline and Doug's Hideaway was perfect. The location is quiet, down the street from a great park (and off leash dog park), and near our favorite market (Newport) and several restaurants. My two boys loved playing in the yard and we were visited by deer many times which was a huge hit to watch from the living room. Our dog loved the fenced yard and we all really made ourselves at home. Caroline was exceptional and always available if needed. We look forward to coming back and staying during our visits to Bend!

Caroline and Doug's ranch was a great place to stay with our dog. The field was huge, all fenced in and on a quiet street. Their dogs were friendly. The house was very clean and comfortable. Caroline and Doug were incredibly welcoming and even loaned us their grill for the night. It was a great place to relax and hang outside. We would definitely recommend it and will be back!

We really enjoyed our stay at the West Hills Hideaway. Caroline and Doug are very good hosts. The house was spacious, clean, well stocked, and located in a nice, quiet neighborhood. The fenced-in back yard is big with a nice fire pit. The house is only a block away from a park and just minutes away from downtown Bend. We look forward to staying here again.

Wonderful stay with our rescue dog who is still a little nervous. It was wonderful to watch her run for acres in this fenced in property. So easy to take her out & she got some socializing too with their dogs. The house was perfect with everything we needed, quiet and beautiful surroundings. The porch gives you a view of the flowers & the main house and there are plenty of other areas to sit & get the view of the mountains. Caroline and Doug were great hosts, they were home while we were there & made sure everything was going well. Don’t miss Crater Lake and be sure to have an Ocean Roll.

We really loved this home. The location was so perfect, totally quiet yet very close to everything. We were there to celebrate my 60th birthday. The outdoor space was so beautiful and peaceful. The backyard was nicely landscaped and charming. The indoor spaces had everything we needed while we were there. The beds were comfortable and the rooms spacious. The pool table was a big hit with my grown boys and husband! We loved everything about it! Caroline was so accommodating and easy to deal with. We will be back!

I had the pleasure of staying in the Rocking CR Guest House during the fall. The changing leaves made for a beautiful, picture perfect backdrop. The view of the mountains was breathtaking, glowing red orange at sunrise and shimmering purple at dusk. My girlfriend and I brought our pup and we’ve never seen her have a better time! The house is set on 5 acres of lush grass and gardens with a small pond; a dog’s dream! This location couldn’t have been better for us; just off the highway, right outside of Bend. Perfect for some relaxing time away from the crowds. We drove to a waterfall near by where my pup and I got to explore just a short walk from the road. Our country hideaway was just a quick 10 minute drive away from Downtown Bend and the Old Mill district. Walking along the river in Old Mill is a must in the fall! Take some time to enjoy the changing leaves, all different shades of bright orange and red. We tasted local beers at Deschutes and ate a delicious dinner at Greg’s Grill. During dinner we were able to overhear an outdoor concert at the amphitheater across the river. What a great spot! The town was very dog friendly, along with the walking and hiking trails. We will definitely be back in the summer! I can imagine a hike in the morning followed by a nice float down the river in the afternoon sun. A big thank you to Caroline and Doug for all the great recommendations! We will see you again soon!

I was lucky enough to stay at Caroline’s Chalet in Sisters during the most magical snow storm! We woke up to beautiful white powdered sugar, covering the entire property! It was January and there was still a wagon with Santa as driver in the front yard, making for a dreamy winter wonderland. The house is a beautifully hand build log cabin so you can imagine it looked like a postcard. The extra effort in the details of Christmas decorations and goodies left by Caroline really went a long way. Bend was a short drive and Mt.bachelor not much further to enjoy a day of great skiing. Just wondering around the little downtown of Sisters was perfect for an afternoon coffee and a quick bite to eat. Stop at Sisters Coffee for an amazing cap! Everyone was friendly and welcoming, such a great spot to relax and unwind after the holidays. Definitely will be back to see the mountain views in the summer!

My son, his wife and my grandson came to visit me from overseas and I wanted to find the ideal vacation rental for their extended stay in Bend. The Rocking CR Guest House was wonderful in every aspect. The Guest House is on a 5 acre ranch which gave my grandson lots of space to run, explore and play. The property is fenced a good distance from any road with traffic, so very safe for him. The Guest House is so comfortable with 2 roomy bedrooms and a great kitchen for cooking (my daughter-in-law loves to cook). It is very quiet on the ranch which is so peaceful for a very restful vacation. We were close to some of the outside sites, like a horse ranch with riding and delicious fruits and vegetables which was so much fun for my grandson. The Guest House is only about a 12 minute drive to downtown Bend for other great activities. The owners of the ranch Caroline & Doug are so thoughtful and made sure the family had everything we needed and provided great information about other things to do in Bend. I would highly recommend the Rocking CR Guest House if you are coming to Bend and are looking for a wonderful vacation rental that feels like home.

My Wife and I stayed at the West Hills HideAway. It is the perfect Bend getaway. It's perfect for the Mtn. Bike crew or the Ski crew as a home base. The house is warm, with plenty of space for two families to vacation together. There's a great rec room where we had our apres ski cocktails and played pool. We love the quick access to trails, Mt. Bachelor, and downtown Bend. We can't wait to come back in the Summer. We love it!

Our family stayed at The Chalet in Sisters and what a beautiful place it is. A cabin in the woods, a magical place, peaceful, relaxation after our many hikes. We so enjoyed the use of the magnificent fireplace which kept the entire house cozy warm. In the mornings we would take our coffee out to the covered porch. Usually deer would be curled up sleeping near the wagon. We will definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone.
