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.

There was an issue with being charged $75 for something I was told wouldn't cost me anything more than I already paid. It was very beautiful and other than the miscommunication it was a lovely stay. Unfortunately even after telling the man at the front counter what happened he wouldn't wave the fee.

We stayed in ste.# 107 which was newly renovated. There was no hot water in both bathrooms and very low pressure in the upstairs bathroom. Also, the exhaust fan was non-operational as well as the hand set of the downstairs phone. The Maintenance man did what he could but was unable to fix all of the items. We love going to SunRiver so I hope this… Read more

We went over there in March, and it was very cold and snowy. The rooms are always nice and the loge is wonderful. Service in Carson's is excellent. The single/studio rooms are very small, but very nice. Our friends upgraded to a suite, so we used their room to stretch out. It was a very nice weekend!

Mar 16, 2020 Coolio368 Roseburg, Oregon

Sunriver is close to bachelor. We have. Even getting some of their winter specials and enjoy how reasonable it is to stay at the world class resort. Strongly suggest liking them on Facebook for great deals. I know lots of people fly in from all over the country to stay here, so to have it be a 3 hour drive from home is a nice treat.

We very much enjoyed our long weekend at SunRiver. Such a lovely place. With gracious and helpful staff people. We were delighted to wake up to a sparkling blanket of snow. And our snowshoeing outing up near Mt. Bachelor was a treat (unusually warm & sunny!) A Beautiful enjoyable stay.
