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.

We learned to make our own reservations and not depend of church office staff. At home we live on one level due to limited ability to manage stairs. So we were placed in room 135, two levels, 14 steps, We made the decision to be ultra careful in our climb to the bedroom and bath upstairs. Made it work. Not again.

Sunriver is the ultimate for working AND relaxing. Even though I was working the entire time there, the setting releases all stress...by the time I left, I was floating on air. Clean, reasonable rates, spectacular setting.

The only thing I saw for improvement was a slightly better map and a list of restaurants and hours. Also, does the resort have the three wheel bicycles? Although I love riding the bicycle, I am afraid to ride again because a bad accident last year. We had a wonderful stay and intend to return.

Great place to hold a conference. Wonderful accommodations that housed a large amount of people that you do not feel crowded or hurried to leave a room due to overbooking or tight time constraints. Very relaxed atmosphere. Staff was very accommodating.
