Resort Experience:
I loved the resort and the area. I went with my husband and two boys, 4 and 5. Just across from our unit, there was a nice playground. You could pick up bike trails also right out your front door. Beautiful patio overlooking the golf course and mountains. Some units have a view of a beautiful canyon with the Deschutes River flowing by. We took the Paulina Plunge tour, which includes mountain biking, light hiking, and waterfall play. Visited the Volcanic Monument cave and forest. Went to Sunriver Resort several days for more leisurely mountain biking and horseback riding. If the kids were older, we would have liked to go on a river raft excursion.
The unit was the nicest we've ever stayed in, and it was beautifully remodeled and decorated, with a jacuzzi tub in the master and a balcony off the master. We also rented a patio boat on Lake Billy Chinook and fished. We didn't get to the scenic byway or Sisters, but as you can see, there are so many activities to choose from. Contact the Oregon Visitors Bureau for more info. Our resort also had a good movie selection and some children’s activities. On one day, they offer a 3-hour class for the kids at $25 each. We even found a local teenager who baby-sits within the resort and was highly recommended by the staff. She also had a flyer posted, so we took advantage and went to dinner one night. Also, be sure to check out the local breweries, like Deschutes in Bend. Bend is a large town, and the river runs through it. Great trip!
