Barnes Butte Bungalow

Can’t wait to get apples! Hopefully the wind doesn’t blow them all off, and the deer don’t eat them all! I hope one day to reproduce my grandfathers apple sauce, a recipe he took to his grave with a wry smile and a dismissive wave. I like to think he’d appreciate the taste test and effort.

Our lilacs are in full bloom! We’ve enjoyed giving them a proper proofing each year battling back the suckers and it’s all worth it for these blooms and the sweet fragrance it puts off!

Enjoying the apple blossoms from our apple tree this spring! It’s one of my favorite times of year in Prineville. The changing seasons being green lushness, hydrating the wild areas, filling streams, culverts, drainages and bringing a rejuvenation that can be felt in the air and heard in the birdsongs.

We love making small additions to the property that will benefit our guests. We were torn between herbs or succulents by the front door, so we went with both! Guests can get quick and convenient access to chives green onions and rosemary for their morning cooking.

Prineville’s location lends its self to phenomenal access for amateur ornithologists! With our walking access to the Barnes Butte trail system, and close driving proximity to the ochocos, cascades, Prineville reservoir, and smith rock state park and even golf course we are well situated to observe endemic and migratory species as they move through the high desert region. We encourage our guests to use these complementary guides and binoculars to discover and experience with the beauty and joy of bird identification.
