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.

Destination is beautiful, golf course and walking, nearby shopping and food are all recommended. The accommodations are dated and need refreshing, there's some old trac lights that were just left up but they are not useable. Kitchen items were minimal, bring your own.

The only weird detail was finding an used robe in our bathroom when we first checked in into our room, totally got missed during the cleaning. However, they were really responsive when we reported it and brough new robes for us. Read less

Eat elsewhere but stay at Sunriver. Visit Bend and Sisters. Go to the museum. The roundabouts are fun. Town is designed to serve vacationers. Food in town was exceptional. Dress warm because the mornings are teeth chattering!

Sunriver Resort is a well-manicured resort-feeling set of buildings on a campus. The buildings are all walkable and most appear to be accessible. The setting is gorgeous, with the horse ranch on one side and a golf course on the other. Lots of trees and opportunities for forest excursions. Has a few confusing cul-de-sacs, until you get oriented,… Read more
Sunriver Resort is a well-manicured resort-feeling set of buildings on a campus. The buildings are all walkable and most appear to be accessible. The setting is gorgeous, with the horse ranch on one side and a golf course on the other. Lots of trees and opportunities for forest excursions. Has a few confusing cul-de-sacs, until you get oriented, but as they are the end of the road, you really can't get lost. Quality of the sleep, food, beverage and possible outdoor activities made it a wonderful setting though we rarely left campus. Their meeting services staff were some of the most attentive and personable people we've worked with. I would recommend this location for a meeting, like our regional forum. We were not disappointed.
