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.

Good location...resort is minutes away from Sunriver village. Room exceeded expectations...we had a 2 level suite, great for families with kids. It would be nice if they listed everything that comes w the kitchen so you don't bring things unnecessarily.

Amazing service, great food, overall pleasant experience. The staff was extremely accommodating and quick to get us the local recommendations we needed for snow, dining, and local nature spots. I definitely recommend Sunriver resort.

If you want to find a place where you are welcome but COVID is not, stay at the Sunriver Resort. They go above and beyond CDC protocols. Great location fir getting to Mt. Bachelor and a true oasis. We will definitely be back.

Unfortunately we awoke in the Middle of the night with a strong gas smell in our room and had to switch rooms with our children at 3am, I’m glad there was another room available but don’t feel it was taken very seriously and that the staff didn’t seem too concerned, gas is very dangerous.. wish it was handled a little differently.

The website fell short on identifying what changes are accommodating to the pandemic safety precautions. In short, what you actually get is a hotel room and massage or nail services if you are so inclined. The two rating is because the communication upon arrival was outstanding.
