Lesley Gimeno, CEO and Founder

Sixteen years ago, I made a life-changing decision to leave the bustling streets of Southern California behind and embrace the breathtaking beauty of Bend, Oregon, alongside my husband and young children. Little did I know, this journey would shape my future in profound ways.

Diving headfirst into the world of remote work, I spent countless hours as an accountant from the comfort of my home office. In 2018, I took a leap of faith with my first vacation home purchase in Sisters, Oregon, igniting my passion for the vacation rental market. The following year, I expanded into the camping rental business, recognizing and addressing a significant community need.

Driven by a deep-seated love for providing top-notch accommodations in the Pacific Northwest, TruNorthwest Retreat was born. Our mission goes beyond mere property management; we're dedicated to crafting curated experiences that foster family values, open communication, and genuine connections. At TruNorthwest Retreat, there's no room for pretense—only warmth and comfort await every guest.

Join us on this grounded journey, where each stay or camping trip is meticulously designed to embody the essence of TruNorthwest Retreat.
