A Place For Serious Birders

We spent 10 days here and the first three hours after arrival we devoted to just watching the birds. The house functions as a luxurious bird hide where you can sit comfortably and watch a wide variety of species. From time to time, a mixed armada of American White Pelicans and Double-crested cormorants would swim by, fishing together in groups of 60+ birds. The cormorants dive to get the deep fish, which escape toward the surface, only to be scooped up by the pelicans. This action sends the fish back down to the realm of the cormorants. The grebes, both Western and Clark’s, flirted and danced together in that extraordinary way that only grebes can dance together. In all we saw upwards of 60 bird species and photographed a high percentage of what we saw. Mammals viewed from the living room included nutria, river otter, muskrat, mink and California ground squirrel. This house is where the BBC photographers stayed when filming the grebe segment for the “Life of Birds” documentary narrated by Sir David Attenborough. It is situated at the south end of Klamath Lake, where the natural topography creates a fertile environment for wildlife. The location is special. It is an excellent venue for people who are serious about birding.

WOW! Just WOW!

This house is awesome. We enjoyed our time here for about 4/5 nights. It was my husband and I and our two sons (ages 15 & 11). We all loved it. Plenty of space for all of us. Master bedroom is a loft and huge. Even a pull out chair/couch in the office area. Guest room was spacious too. Kitchen was perfectly laid out and well stocked. SO many birds! Very close to driving to old town, downtown, and other areas of Klamath Falls. We didn't want to leave. The property and house was so inviting and comfortable. We had spent 5 days in Bend and this was our last stop on our vacation and it was perfect and exactly what we were looking for. Quiet, spacious, beautiful. Ceiling fans and having the doors open (with screens shut) made the temperature comfortable. Very comfortable at night with just fans on and outside doors closed. A true VRBO experience. Stephanie was a pleasure to communicate with. She was very fast to respond to questions. House was equipped with everything one would need. We even had a day long family retreat where we updated our families mission, vision and values and it was the perfect environment to have this day of brainstorming and activities. Highly recommend this place. Can't wait to return.

Location! And A Very Interesting and Well Situated Home

They say in real estate that it is all about location. Not only was this home interesting (if a bit eclectic), it was in a wonderful location if you want to sit on the patio a few feet from and above the lake looking across at Putnam Park while pelicans camp out on the rocks in the lake and the Grebes do their antics. Lovely! The home was well outfitted and comfortable. It certainly does fell like it is someone's home and possibly it is. Spacious. Through the wall of windows to the south you see the large tree next to the house (from the Master Loft it feels like you are in a tree house), the lake and Putnam Park. Plenty of space. Large garage. Wifi worked fine (and I was uploading lots of hi-res images). The only thing we found a bit disappointing is that the boat and canoe and the dock are "rather tired". We didn't feel comfortable trying to take the boats out. But being next to the lake, we didn't need to. A wonderful stay. I think I would have enjoyed meeting the people who built the home. ;-)

Klamath Falls review

The Carpenter property is a wonderful place to stay if you are in the Klamath Falls area and want to enjoy the beauty of the Klamath lake. From the deck you have a front row seat to amazing bird activity.

Great view

This house has very nice lake view as shown in the pictures. We saw a river otter living in front of the house and a pelican plus many birds during our 5-night stay in July. We also saw deer in the neighborhood several times. We had a very pleasant stay. The following are some small caveats. There are many bugs and mosquitoes outside the house. Maybe this is the drawback for living at lake front. Thus, I didn’t go to the deck area. We were careful when going in and out of the house, not to let mosquitoes in. When we came back to the house on one night, there were so many bugs on the glass door, attracted by the light inside, which was a bit scary. Fortunately we didn’t encounter mosquitoes inside the house. Some of the window screens seemed to be a bit worn out, so we closed the windows at night to prevent mosquitoes coming in. The house has many large windows, so it could get a bit warm in the summer, but it didn’t really bother us. Besides, the master bedroom on the 2nd floor doesn’t have a door, and only has curtains for the privacy. In addition, the WiFi was sometimes slow. In spite of these small issues, overall this is still a great house rental.

Carpenter residence review

I had a wonderful experience staying at the Carpenter residence in Klamath Falls. The home was ideally located to enjoy the bird life right outside and still minutes from town if you wanted to run in for dinner. I would highly recommend this house for anyone wanting to come stay in a lovely home and enjoy the area of Klamath Falls.

Third stay

My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay at Stephanie's house! It was very comfortable during the day and at night. The view of the lake was so peaceful and relaxing. We saw a large number of songbirds in the back and front of the house, some birds we hadn't seen before! It was our third stay at the house, and plan to keep it on our vacation list!

Labor Day Weekend Getaway

The house was conveniently located and spacious for our getaway. The inside of the house was clean, comfortable, and well appointed, though the picture windows and patio were not clean upon our arrival. We hosed down the patio ourselves, and Stephanie had a window cleaner come out the second day. Unfortunately, the jetted tub was not working, but Stephanie offered us a partial refund for the inconvenience. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake using the equipment provided. The house also served as good base for visiting Ashland and Crater Lake during our stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at Klamath Falls. The House stayed cool and it was so pleasant to sit and watch the birdlife! The kitchen was well stocked. We cook alot so we really appreciate a good kitchen, even a cast iron pan! We hiked nearby and enjoyed the local farmer's market. This is a great place to enjoy wildlife and be close to hiking and all the area has to offer.

Great place!

I loved this house. No AC but the breeze blowing in from the lake kept the house relatively cool and at night I put a fan in the window which worked fine. I keep my house between 68 - 73 degrees so I like it cool. The house was clean and comfortable. I was concerned about the comfort of the futon bed but found it was great because the owners put a feather mattress on it. I slept great. Sitting on the patio watching all the birds and other wildlife was very enjoyable. Even at night, the bats put on quite a show! I would definately stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Carpenter Family Trust

We have lived in the Klamath Basin since 1991. We have been actively involved in natural resource issues, construction and guide and outfitting. Most recently we finalized a 7 year project, 'Creating A Sense of Arrival' with the remodel of a Visitor Center for the City of Klamath Falls to showcase our beautiful downtown, trail system and waterfront area. This 'One Stop' location offers visitors and locals a place to get information about our area from the Chamber of Commerce and Discover Klamath. Other tenants include Klamath County Economic Development, the Hombuilders Association, Watershed Partnership and Ducks Unlimited.

We are recipients of the City of Klamath Falls 'Green Pelican Award' and US Fish & Wildlife Wetlands Conservation Award.

Why they chose this property

We built our home in this very special location because it is on the waterfront and centrally located.

What makes this property unique

This property is unique due to it's up close and personal all season watchable bird and wildlife, which can be viewed from the comfort of your living room or outdoors on the deck. Boating, birding and fishing are a just a few steps away.
Downtown Klamath Falls is only 5 minutes and the airport a mere 15 minutes.
If you like to hike or bike the Link River Trailhead can be seen from the living room. This Trail takes you to historic Main Street where you can enjoy lunch and visit a museum.
