| My family and I have not had a vacation in many years. We have worked so hard at growing our business, we finally realized we needed a break but did not want to travel too far. So we found Ardys' beautiful home and knew it was a great place for the whole family. We had a great week there as there are many things to do (my son loves to fish!) We came back rested and refreshed. Many thanks to Ardys' for letting us use her beautiful retreat. |

My husband and I drove in from Denver for our
first wedding anniversary and it was the PERFECT
getaway! The house was absolutely beautiful, very
private, comfortable and had great amenities (grill,
fireplace, fully stocked kitchen etc.). It was so
relaxing and the weather was perfect! We also
really enjoyed the river/dock being literally right
behind the house. We are already looking forward
to going back next year!!! Thanks so much! |

What a wonderful home!! Ardyss provides everything you could ever expect to find at a luxury hotel with the added benefit of being in a gorgeous environment...inside and out. Sit outside and watch the family of deer roam by in the early morning and evening...or sit inside with the family and enjoy a home cooked meal, a movie on the large screen TV, or play a game or two. Floating down the river was a hit with both the young and the young at heart. To make it easier Ardyss has rafts, tubes and even a canoe.
We had a wonderful time and can't wait to return!
A special thank you to Carson the caretaker for all of his advice and assistance.
Thank you Ardyss!

We were looking for a place that was close by and
that would have plenty of sunshine. What we found
was a little piece of heaven! The home was
spectacular with its large kitchen island, high-
beamed ceiling, the wrap around deck and the
feeling that you were the only house on the
river.The house was completely ready for our
enjoyment. It had everything from a fully stocked
kitchen to river toys to a large screen TV. The dock
on the river was a big plus. We were able to enjoy
the day just watching the river go by. The second
morning we were having breakfast on the deck
when two deer wandered right through the yard no
more than a few yards away. It is a beautiful home.
One that will definitely be on our to do list
again.Thanks again for the time spent in your little
piece of paradise! |

| My sister and my family each drove about 4 hours to meet at this ideal family vacation home. We were thrilled to find a few kids toys and movies too. Our kids enjoyed fishing from the dock and the long driveway to ride their bikes. The house is just as described and the river is perfect for calm floats. We wish we could have stayed longer! |

| What a beautiful place to soak in the peaceful side of Nature. Take breakfast to the dock and gaze into the forest across the serenely flowing river. Sunny morning in July. Loved your standing stone garden, too--your own mini stonehenge! |

| The best vacation thanks to Ardys, the best host ever, and her wonderful caretaker Carson Culp. The house is amazing, we could not expect for more. The pictures do not do justice to the house, when you first enter the only raction is WOW! We loved every moment in the house and in the area of Bend, Sunriver and Sisters. There is so much to do that even though we were there for 9 days it felt like we could stay there for much more. We launched the canoe twice with the help of Carson who took us to State Rec road and we did the 2 hour float. It was very relaxing. You do not not need anything besides your clothes when you come to Ardys' vacation home, everything you can only dream of was already thought of well in advance by Ardys. Ardys you are the best. Thank you for a great experience. |

| We really had awonderful vacation in your beautiful home. The bed in the Master Bedroom is so comfortable it makes it hard to get up.Four of us used the tubes and life jackets that you have in the garage and floated in the river from your dock to the bridge. It took us about 35 minutes and we had another person in our party party pick us up. Wow this was fun and very relaxing. Everything in the house is top notch and I would not hesitate to recomment it to anyone for summer or winter. Thanks for the wonderful time. Sharon |

| We stayed for a week in August, and again in February of this year. The house is spacious and beautiful. The windows throughout draw your eye to the lovely wooded/meadow outside. The dock on the river was the focus of our stay, for a peaceful happy hour, star gazing, fishing or for launching the canoe. This winter we skiied at Mt. Bachelor which is a wonderful resort with nice people and features, and great snow! We loved it. Ardys is so lovely and helpful. Highly recommended! We hope to come back soon! |

We rented this beautiful home in July and we had an absolutely marvelous time!! The weather was perfect, the home spectacular with all it's amenities; gourmet kitchen, upscale decor, wrap around porch and grill for amazing dinners every night!
Our hostess was nothing but charming and accomodating on every question and need!
This is a perfect spot and home for any family/friends gathering! And we give it a "double green" positive!!

There is no better place to enjoy a gin and tonic on a sunny summer day than on Ardy's dock right on the Deshute's River. ;-) And don't forget to bring your fly rod!
The place is big enough to comfortably sleep 7, and relaxation is abundant every where on the property.
It is a great place to forget work, and remember old family stories. We can't wait to rent it next year! |

| Ardys, Thank you so much for opening your home for all of us whom love to travel. This home was amazing and just the perfect location to get away to. Your home is definately a place to return to and we had so much fun playing games, cooking, the river, and just the peace and quiet. Our children went skiing which was very close. We couldn't thank you enough. I am so happy we were able to find your home to stay at. Any of you who are looking for a place to stay THIS IS IT!!!! Thank you Ardys! |

| Nice location - view out kitchen goes out and across the Deschutes River. This is a newer home that is beautifully decorated, yet comfortable to stay in. Our family of six fit in perfectly. Easy commute to Bachelor. Very quiet. |

| Absolutely the most beautiful home! The pictures, although lovely, do not reflect reality! Very private - yet close to Sunriver, Bend, and Mt. Bachelor. Our family had a fantastic time, playing in the snow, shopping in Sunriver and Bend, and skiing at Mt. Bachelor. Thank you Ardys! |

| What a beautiful place to stay for New Years Eve. It's not far from Sunriver yet feels private on the deschutes river. We felt like we were in our own home. Owner is very sweet and wanted to make sure we had everything we needed. We hope to stay again this summer. |

What a pleasure to be able to share this beautiful home in a wilderness site with guests who are warm, polite, smart and funny. VRBO is a great service because, Without You There's No Us.

| This is a very beautiful, inviting and comfortable home! The picture does not do it justice. The setting is peaceful and fairly private, yet, you are minutes from shopping, ski slopes, a desert museum and movie theatres. You will love your experience at Big River. |
