Golf on the grounds and numerous courses within 15-50 miles. Great day trips to John Day Fossil beds, scenic byways lined with forests, waterfalls, lava beds and great scenery. 90 miles away is Crater, Lake very easily accessible and definitely worth the drive. Views of Mt Jefferson, Three Sisters and other dormant volcanoes are abundant.

Bend, Oregon - 16 miles away, has an interesting downtown with several restaurants and unique boutique-type shops.

Best Things About the Resort:
Location, decoration of unit, fully equipped kitchen, including a gas grill on the patio. It had a fireplace, wet bar, window seat, large dining room with amazing decor. Deer wandered around the property without fear and were such a nice treat to see. Golf nearby, a full sports facility and onsite activities such as biking also added to the experience.

Resort Experience:

The unit was beautifully decorated, very spacious and had every convenience necessary to enjoy the week. We had a balcony off the living/dining room as well as a balcony off the second-story master bedroom, both of which overlooked the canyon and river. The sunrises and sunsets were spectacular. The grounds were wonderful, and walking around them was a pleasure.

After activity packed days, we enjoyed cooking in and enjoying the views and serenity of the place. Fresh salmon was available at the grocery store in Redmond, a few miles away. The onsite restaurant was good, and following a wonderful meal, made a special dessert for our friend's birthday.

My husband and his pal played golf daily at various courses, including Aspen Lakes, with red dirt bunkers and views of the volcanic peaks dotting the area. The Eagle Crest Ridge course was also on his list, and he enjoyed it as well. There is an 18-hole "putting course" that is not to be missed. Even those of us who don't play golf had fun trying our hand. (It’s like an upgraded and unique miniature course.)

There is nothing to complain about. This exchange was one of the best we've had - and we thought the others were great.

Best Things About the Resort:
Biking trails, beautiful accommodations, on a golf course, and close to many more activities.

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!

Best Things About the Resort:
The unit had two bedrooms and two bathrooms. There was a gas fireplace in the living room and a DVD/VCR and TV in both the living room and upstairs in the master bath. They even had dish and laundry soap available. The area is absolutely beautiful, and we will definitely be back.

Resort Experience:
They also had a local spa, so we indulged in massages, which was sooooo wonderful. The resort was very quiet and well maintained. We had dinner at one of the resort restaurants, which was very nice but a little pricey. They had a playground directly across from our condo unit, which was great for our 4-year-old. We only had to walk to one of the recreation centers, which also had a mini store in case we needed anything. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this place to all!

Best Things About the Resort:
Outdoor pools were warm, even in November.
Tanning beds
Comfortable place with plenty to do.

Resort Experience:
The two-bedroom unit was very nice, with a large picture window and fireplace in the living room. We saw deer run by numerous times. The resort is large, friendly, and offers activities. Indoor tennis courts, tanning beds, and indoor basketball were all nice. My teenage sons would have loved them; however, they did not come with us. This was a very nice place with beautiful views of snow-topped mountains as you drive around. The trail walk was also nice along the river.
