Big Eddy’s story took root in the Pacific Northwest, where our founder, a Seattle native, met his life partner in Bend. United by a deep love for the outdoors and a connection to the region’s strong community, they chose to build their life together here.
With a deep love for the Deschutes River and years spent as "river people," the name Big Eddy was born—a tribute to those calm, steady spots found amidst the river’s currents. This passion for the outdoors and the Bend lifestyle inspired the bold decision to relocate and establish Big Eddy Property Management at the heart of this growing community.
