Located at the Bar L Ranch, a private and peaceful 20 acre property in Camp Sherman, Oregon (1 hour NW of Bend). This cabin is one of four cabins located at the Bar L Ranch.

If you need access to laundry or extra fridge/freezer space, you are welcome to use the laundry room attached to the main house (near main house porch). The keyless entry code is the same as your cabin. There are several additional cabins, patio areas and outbuildings on the ranch, but they are rented separately or reserved for family use. We are sometimes on the ranch, sometimes not. When we come to the ranch, we too are seeking a solitary peaceful retreat. We will give you plenty of privacy, but we are always available by email or phone if there is anything you need. The ranch is suited best for hardy, independent folks who are seeking a rustic, simple, peaceful, and solitary retreat. Ideal for those who are looking for a retreat in the woods, such as for research, photography, writing, or art. Camp Sherman is home of the beautiful Metolius River in the Deschutes National Forest. It offers visitors some of the most stunning scenery in central Oregon and easy access to an abundance of recreational activities. Although the ranch feels very remote, there is a general store, 2 restaurants, and a gas station about 4 miles away. In addition, the town of Sisters is just 18 miles away. We recommend a car. Before you head out here, please print a map to get here (we provided one in the house manual). Do not rely on cell service. IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ. Internet Service: We have wireless Starlink Satellite internet. The average download speed is 50 mbps average and the average upload speed is 9.75 Mpbs. The ranch works great for those who work online, however if you have a lot of important video meetings then it is likely not a great fit for you as it can freeze for a few seconds due to trees that cause obstructions. Also it can be unpredictable, so if it goes down, contact us and please be patient. There is a co-working space (Fika) that is about 25 minutes away, in the town of Sisters. Cell Service: Many but not all cell carriers have access here, so please check with your carrier. If your cell service has access, you might want to look into a hot spot just in case the internet is down. Phone: We have a shared landline phone for the entire ranch, so keep in mind it is not private. When we are home on the ranch (staying in a different cabin), there may be a small french bulldog as well as various family members. Some of the other cabins are also rented through Airbnb, so you may have neighbors. Sometimes people and dogs visit us. This is an old country cabin. While we try very hard to prevent mice, this is a bad year for mice, so please be aware. WINTER ACCESS: The property is 8 miles off the highway and mostly paved except for the last 1/8 mile. The roads are plowed and generally, you should be able to get here during the winter, in almost all cases. However, we do advise guests carry chains during the winter, especially over the mountain pass. 4WD or AWD is not totally necessary although can be very nice to have in the winter months as the last 1/8 mile can get quite muddy. The heat is propane, so there is always heat should the power go out during a winter storm, however, the blower will stop working. The power company is generally very good about getting the power back on quickly, although we can't predict the future. In the event of a heavy and major snowstorm, although rare, it is possible to be snowed in, so we do recommend you have extra food and water for a few days. If you are traveling during the winter, we always suggest being prepared. Let us know if you have questions about how to prepare for winter travel.
