We are a family of four, 2 adults and 2 boys. We both work in the technology industry and live in beautiful Bend Oregon right on the Deschutes River and also have a vacation property in California, both of which are available for exchange. We enjoy playing with our labradoodle and Spoodle (whom you do not have to take care of while we are gone, unless you wish to), staying active, cooking, fine food and wine, and travel.

Read More...Wonderfull stay in the zen house! Everything is like on the pictures. The house, garden and pool are a little paradies in the mountains between redwoods, vineyards and the pacifique coast! We enjoyed the trips to the coast, walking in the forests and hanging out in the house. Beth is extremely friendly and caring. Thank you so much and all the best for the family.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Our property is rural, in the middle of old growth redwood trees, but a 10 minute drive to award-winning wineries and restaurants. We spend most of our summer days lounging by the sunny pool at the house. But when we venture out, there is much natural beauty nearby to enjoy. The property is 40 minutes to the coast, where you can find canoeing and sea kayaking, and one hour to the coastal seaside town of Mendocino with charming shops and restaurants. We are a 15 minute drive to Hendy Woods, a state park with old growth redwood trees. Boonville is a charming small town where everyone knows each other. It's known as the area where the redwoods meet the vineyards, and we are lucky that it has been discovered by many acclaimed restauranteurs and wine makers who have decided to bring their wares to the Anderson Valley region.

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
Our boys are very familiar with staying in other people's homes and we leave others' houses clean and tidy, so we request the same. We have stated that older children are OK for this house, but they must be strong swimmers because of the pool.
