This Sisters, Oregon home is truly beautiful and offers many energy efficient features. It is hard to not be wowed by this timber frame home. The home features 2,850 SF with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The open layout between the great room, dining room and kitchen allows for the Smith's to entertain their family and friends when they visit Sisters.
