🔥 Fire Pit & Firewood (Important)
The home has an outdoor fire pit, but firewood is not provided. Guests may purchase firewood locally.
Outdoor fires are regulated by the La Pine Fire District, and seasonal restrictions are common, especially in summer and early fall. Guests must call the local burn line at 541-536-9056 before using the fire pit to confirm whether fires are allowed during their stay. Burn status can change daily based on conditions.
🎣 Fishing & River Access
The property sits directly on the Big Deschutes River, with easy river access from the backyard. Fishing from the riverfront is popular, with both fly fishing and spin fishing depending on season and conditions. Just minutes away is Fall River, known for world-class fly fishing, along with Fall River Falls — a scenic and easy hike. A valid Oregon fishing license is required. Licenses are easy to purchase online or at local sporting goods stores in Sunriver or Bend, and current regulations apply to the Deschutes River.
🐾 Dog-Friendly
We love dogs! Well-behaved pups are welcome with prior approval and an additional pet fee. Please let us know in advance if your dog(s) will be joining you. Please note: Neither the front yard nor backyard is fenced.
