With truly whimsical flair, the Fun House is a one-of-a-kind, custom-built three-bedroom home sleeping up to 6, where thoughtful design and artistic touches meet the eye in every direction. A twisted juniper tree wet bar, ping pong table, and covered deck with a propane fire pit are just the beginning — nestled among mature Ponderosa Pines with views of the Deschutes River, Farewell Bend Park, and Awbrey Butte, this retreat is equal parts creative hideaway and welcoming gathering place. A small dog is welcome along for the adventure.

    We enjoyed it alot,all the stairs were alot of work bringing everything up and down for older people. No fenced in yard for the dog. Location was great. Getting in and out a little tricky though.
