Central Oregon Getaway! Incredible Lake and Mountain views! Dark Sky Area!

Views to die for in Central Oregon's high desert. Beautiful, rustic (but very nice) cabin/home situated on 20 acres of untouched land, 17 miles S.E. of Prineville. Just up the hill a ways from Oregon's first designated Dark Sky Park. A stargazers delight! Three sides of the property abut undeveloped Bureau of Land Management public forest which allows for unobstructed and amazing views of the Prineville Reservoir, volcanic rock formations, and surrounding mountains as far as the eye can see. Watch eagles, hawks, deer, and other wildlife from the porch just a few steps out your front door. Step out at night and you will be enthralled by the brightness of the stars, planets, and Milky Way Galaxy.
This is a wonderful getaway for couples, families, friends, and even business get-togethers. Our cabin features a full kitchen with modern appliances, living room area with fireplace, TV with cable, internet, two full bathrooms, washer/dryer, and garage. The cabin sleeps 8, with a room of 4 bunk beds and two bedrooms with queen-sized beds. All bedrooms upstairs. The master bedroom features a patio deck, perfect for morning coffee or tea, night caps, or sunbathing in solitude. Onsite activities include horseshoes with a regulation-sized court, slate pool table, darts, swing, bar-b-que grill and a seasonal fire pit. Relax at the end of your day under the night (or day) sky in the private hot tub just off the porch. You will feel totally secluded. Memories of bright blue skies and fresh clean air will linger long after you've ended your stay.
If you are looking for adventure or other outdoor activities to explore, just a mile down the hill is the state park and boat dock. Bike, hike, rock climb, swim, boat, fish, go on spectacular sightseeing expeditions to the Painted Hills or John Day Fossil Beds or just simply stop anywhere in the most incredible surroundings of Oregon's High Desert lands.
Prineville is known as the "doorway" to the pine studded Ochoco Mountains, Ochoco National Forest, and the Crooked River National Grassland. There are good restaurants in town, along with some great little antique, home decor, gift, and clothing shops. You will find several spas, coffee shops, and, of course, really nice people. For a taste of Old Prineville, stop in Prineville Menswear on S. Main where "really good stuff' is available. Lunch at Dad's Cafe next door or have a burger at the Tastee Treat on Highway 26, across from Pioneer Park. Pine Theater is just like yesteryear showing current flicks ($8) and concessions for $2 or under. Although this vacation spot isn't about crowds or malls, the trendy (and friendly) city of Bend, with its wonderful shopping district, is an easy drive 35 minutes from Prineville.

Your pet will be welcome with permission from managemnt and acceptance of the Pet Policy. Please communicate the number of pets with your inquiry. Pets are limited to two dogs and the pet fee will be $50 per pet per stay.

Unbeatable view, excellent condition and amenities!

My fiancé, friends and I stayed at this home for an extended weekend and it was simply wonderful! The view was unbeatable, hot tub hot the spot, and the amenities in the kitchen and pool table/darts board were awesome! Would definitely recommend anyone to stay here looking for a quiet and nature-filled retreat. It was a bit far from the closest town (Prineville, OR), but we loved that it was more isolated and on its own piece of land.

Different experience but great time

Really wanted to have a really “dark sky” experience, but were treated to a really bright moon instead. Lit up the landscape, looked just like a winter scene. Different treat. The really good thing is “no rain” as forecasted and a wonderful time was had by all!

Most relaxing vacation ever! Soooo many stars! Just beautiful, the town or Prineville was amazing! Reminded us of childhood, just the kind of getaway we were looking for.

Just as advertised

This was just what we were looking for! A comfortable remote cabin with wilderness views that don't quit! The only thing that might have enhanced our stay would have been to see more wildlife, but I wasn't expecting that to be a guarantee... Perhaps, if we visited during a season other than winter we may have seen more.

Awesome views

It was very clean beautiful views. But.. hard to find got there in dark no lights on. Master bed not comfortable . Need to hav we all you want when you get there its 19 miles back to town. Nothing exceptionally nice for they knew it was my anniversary. For what we paid could of been some kind of a nice token. Also for what we paid for cleaning was ridiculous since we were required to clean and vacuum floors before we left. All they had to do was make a bed. We did floors dishes and laundry and cleaned out fireplace. Crazy

Couples retreat

My wife and I have been renting a house for a week every summer for the past 8 years with two other couples. We’ve been eyeing Pete’s Cabin for the last several years and finally had our stay this year in mid-July. What an amazing place! The views from the back covered patio made it feel like we were the only people around for hundreds of miles. Very secluded and it was the perfect, restful week. The weather was extremely hot (mid 90’s) all week, but the AC kept the inside cool and comfortable. Even with the hot weather, the covered patio and constant slight breeze allowed us to spend most of our time outside. The listing mentioned that the well water is drinkable, and that you can bring water if you want. We found that the well water tasted great. No need to bring water, in our opinion. The host was super communicative throughout the registration and check in process via the VRBO app messenger. The house is about a 30 minute drive to Prineville, so come prepared with all amenities. There is not a “corner store” just down the street. The check out responsibilities were very minimal, which was appreciated by our group. Star gazing, time in the hot tub, and the views! It was the perfect week of love, laughter, and food and drink with great friends. We would recommend this home to anyone looking for privacy, natural beauty and rest. We will be back!

Amazing Central Oregon Cabin!

This spot was an awesome find for our family of 4. It's the perfect combination of accessible, private, comfortable, and well outfitted for relaxation and adventure. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub with gorgeous views of the surrounding reservoir, painted hills, and jagged hilltop rock formations. A lot of time was spent on the perfectly situated deck just reading or rocking in the hammock while taking in the scenery. Internet able to support our movie streaming during down-time was a welcome bonus. The clear star filled nights and nearby rockhounding opportunities were the icing on the cake. Loved it, no notes.

We had a great time at the cabin. It was very remote and quiet. Loved the fire pit outside, hot tub and the horse shoes. It was a very relaxing and the views were amazing!! The only negative were the beds were not very comfortable. Otherwise the cabin met all of our needs.
