Wonderful stay

We've stayed at a lot of VRBOS. Weve stayed at many Bend locations. The service, reservation process, communication by the owner were exceptional. The house was very nice, with a quality view, and well appointment. And all the firewood we could've possibly used. Did I mention the friendly horses? They were wonderful to "chat" with and scratch. Location was ideal, set between Bend and Sisters. Will certainly make this as a favorite especially for next summer.

Charming and cozy country guest house

We stayed for a week in the Fall and absolutely loved it. The expansive view, nature walks and horses and chickens gave us a wonderful taste of farm life. The guest house was well equipped with firewood, and all the comforts of home. Great location, close by to Bend and Tumalo - but nice and quiet.

Comfortable and Peaceful

The Sweetums Ranch guest house is the perfect place to relax after hiking and exploring the Bend, Oregon area. The guest house is strategically located to offer guests privacy, yet allows them access to a swimming pool and tennis court. And very quiet at night as the property sits well back from the nearest road. Tracy and Bill are wonderful hosts and are very accommodating.

Wonderful country home in Bend

This was a great property and some of the best communication I have had with property owner in my many VRBO stays around the US. The use of Hot Tub, pool and tennis courts is a great bonus. The home is very well equipped with comfortable furniture and beds. The views of Sisters and surrounding mountains is great. Very centrally located for exploring central Oregon.

Amazing!

The Sweetums Guest house is absolutely amazing! It is nestled amongst the trees and is located in a very quiet and private setting. The hot tub was very relaxing and the pool and tennis courts are just a stones throw away. The inside is spacious and has everything you need. It is well maintained, clean and cute. We definitely plan on staying here again in the near future.

amazing family vacation

The guest house and property made for one of our best family vacations yet. We loved playing tennis on the full size court, swimming in the picturesque pool, walking the trail on the property and visiting with the animals. The inside of the house was comfortable and well suited for a family. Beds were very comfortable. The owners were friendly, responsive and kind. We would love to return.

Sheer Heaven

This is our third stay at the Sweetums Ranch Guest House, our home away from the world when we make our annual trek to attend the Stitchin’ Post Quilters Affair classes and Sisters Outdoor Show. My sister and I look forward to this week together at the Guest House all year long. Tracy and Bill are wonderful hosts who we now think of as friends. The property is immaculate and well stocked with anything you need. The hosts respect privacy while also being available as needed. This is a week of pure bliss for my sister and I, a recovery spot from each year’s challenges and celebrations. See you next year!

Spacious, delightful home for a relaxing holiday

This detached house is set on beautiful, quiet, rural acreage with horses and chickens. While we didn’t use the extra amenities of hot tub, tennis court and swimming pool, they looked amazing and I wish we had more time to enjoy them. The home is clean, spacious and well stocked for 2-4 people. The location was perfect - close to all our activities. Tracy was easy to reach and very helpful. We would definitely stay there again.

Great value

This was a comfortable place in the country side very conveniently located between sisters and bend. Stayed in December so weren’t able to take advantage of the pool or tennis court but the hot tub was lovely. Comfy beds and lots of wood for the wood stove which was a cozy way to heat the house. Otherwise the little wall heaters need to be used which are a bit noisy. The only improvements I can suggest are to have a lock box with the key on the door so we don’t have to communicate about time of arrival or departure, and a tv/sound bar remote that is more user friendly. Overall a pleasant stay. We will be back!

Peaceful and cozy retreat

Enjoyed our stay. Celebrated our anniversary by doing some Christmas shopping/eating in downtown Bend. Wanted a place to stay that would be quiet and this was just the place. The wood burning stove gave the cozy feels I was hoping for during this time of year along with a Christmas tree all lit up and decorated.

Sweetums is very special!

It's like staying at your own private country club - tennis court and 2 lane LONG swimming pool...along with hot tub, adirondack chairs overlooking the beautifully landscaped yard and neighboring cows - enjoyed cocktail hour each night doing just that. And the inside is equally as wonderful - fully equipped kitchen (complete with delicious scones, eggs from their hens, and yogurt from Trader Joes; this was intended for our first breakfast, but this treat basket covered all three mornings we were there), wonderful plate glass windows overlooking patio, tennis court, and yard, comfortable bedrooms, baths and washer/dryer (a detail most appreciated as we were traversing Oregon for 14 days). Tracy, the owner, is delightful, greets you in person, and explains how to use the hot tub and uncover the pool; throughout the rental, Tracy answers all questions/concerns promptly. Sweetums is a favorite from the many VRBOs we have rented over the last 2 decades! A bucolic, relaxing stay, just minutes from Bend and Sisters - perfect for visiting the many sites up Route 97, as well as the McKenzie Pass-Santiam Pass Scenic Byway. We couldn't imagine a more idyllic place to enjoy our 50th wedding anniversary. Hoping to return for a longer stay to celebrate my 75th birthday in two years! Thank you, Tracy!

Had a wonderful relax stay at the ranch

We had a wonderful low key stay at the Sweetums ranch guest house, the property ground is beautiful, the location is ideal to experience Bend being just outside of the city for a quiet country feel yet it’s about 15 minutes to town. Tracy and Bill are very welcoming and responsive. The guest house was clean, comfortable, wonderful pool, tennis course was a bonus. We love the birds and the ranch animals. We would love to come back when we are in Bend the next time. Thanks.

Beautiful farm house!

My wife and I had a nice quiet relaxing stay here at the guesthouse on this 20 acre farm. It was very quiet and peaceful. We stayed 3 nights but it would have been nicer to stay longer. Sisters and bend are a short drive, and there are plenty of hiking trails and good places to eat. The host brought us yogurts and some delicious berry scones for the first morning. Great hosts!

About the host

Hosted by Tracy Lucente

Host profile image
After living in Chicago and pursuing our careers for many years, we chose to move to Central Oregon for all of the outdoor activities right out our door, and for a more peaceful lifestyle. We are thrilled to be living in Tumalo - rural, private, quiet and lovely, yet with close proximity to Bend, Sisters, Mt. Bachelor and as much outdoor activity you can dream of having. And in spring, summer, and early fall a river even runs through it!

We are a couple living in the main ranch house (separate structure) on the property with our two friendly labradoodles, horses and chickens. The guest house is away from the main house and sited in a way that affords privacy for our guests.

Typically we will great our guests after check in, be available to answer questions and provide recommendations for our favorite hikes, restaurants and things to do. Guests can interact with us as much or as little as preferred, are welcome to join us for our feeding of the animals and egg collecting.

We love being in Central Oregon at the Sweetums Ranch and enjoy sharing this amazing place with our guests.
Tracy & Bill

Why they chose this property

Tumalo is a beautiful area ideally located between Bend and Sisters. We love the quiet privacy with easy access to downtown and all of the wonderful outdoor activities of Central Oregon, Bend and Sisters.

What makes this property unique

We love the Tumalo location - rural, quiet and lovely, yet with close proximity to Bend, Sisters, Mt. Bachelor and as much outdoor activity you can dream of having. Enjoy the peaceful and beautiful setting of the Sweetums Ranch, play tennis, walk or bike right from the property, and relax around the gorgeous swimming pool (seasonal) with mountain views. All this, yet just minutes from downtown Bend (restaurants, brewpubs, shopping), and all the outdoor activities (skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, biking, river rafting, SUP, kayaking, rock climbing, horseback riding, etc) Central Oregon has to offer. The Guest House is located on a Oregon Scenic Bicycle Route through high desert ranch area and gorgeous Cascade mountain views. A perfect location for your vacation!
