The hotel

More village than hotel, Sunriver Resort’s part of a private 3,300 acre community along the Deschutes River, in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. Designed to immerse you in al fresco experiences, it’s filled with all manner of outdoorsy attractions. There are the simple pleasures, like 40 miles of biking and hiking trails, and stargazing at the observatory. And then there are the uber-indulgent ones, like stables, a marina, a spa, 9 dining experiences ranging from gourmet to beer garden, an airstrip, and 63 holes of golf spread across 4 courses, one of which will host the 2017 PGA Professional Championship. A destination in itself, The Cove is Sunriver’s swimming zone, with dining, a zero-entry pool, fire pits, even nature trails. Thank goodness they lay on free transport around the resort.

This was the perfect resort to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. It is gorgeous, clean, and safe. It was our first time there, and we would definitely return again. The luxury river lodge was well worth the cost.

I would like to reserve specific room next time. I was told no guarantee, that I could request. We loved our visit! The scenery was wonderful and loved the fireplace and kitchen. Beds very comfortable.

The "new" room was much cleaner. Check the room thoroughly before settling in. The prior guests plastic shopping bags were also in kitchen drawers so the cleaning staff clearly missed the job on this room. Surprisingly during Covid. I expected heightened cleaning. Read less

The queen suite was like a home away from home. Comfortable bed and pillows. The kitchen was well appointed. Living room was comfortable and nice with the fireplace. Appreciated the upstairs loft bedroom. Could use more natural light.

It was a challenging few days here in the sunriver lodge condos. We had a group of three guys on the deck below frequently smoking. Then the smoke drifted up to our room. Ughh! And on the other side, we had a family with two screaming kids and a barking dog. We are pretty patient people but finally gave up on this all time bad vacation and… Read more
