"Entertaining over 100 students is what got us hooked on vacationing in Sunriver. Before buying our own place, we visited several times a year for many years to chaperon students from all over the world.  We'd all ski the slopes at Mount Bachelor, sled the hills or paddle down a raging rapids.  Twenty years later we are still enjoying Sunriver's beauty, many amenities and the safe, family-friendly environment.

Our Sunriver adventures now include making great memories with our grand daughter; like winter sledding, the horse-pulled sleigh rides, holiday cookie making, seeing the gingerbread houses and sitting on Santa's lap.  We love to look out the windows that surround the top of our cozy living room and admire the icicles and the snow flakes, and sometimes we catch a glimpse of a curious squirrel peering in at us or the deer grazing just off our deck.

Our grand baby will soon be old enough for the swimming lessons and riding her bike to one of the many fine youth camps our (now grown) son used to enjoy.  Of course, we'll be close, creating our own adventures (like kayaking more of the nearby serene lakes or relaxing with a book) until camp is over and daylight lends us a few more hours of grand baby playtime together. 

We love the charm of our home-away-from home in Sunriver and sharing it with family, friends, and those who want to refresh and recharge, be it relaxing in the air conditioned house, soaking in the hot tub or pulling out the bikes to take a joy ride. And when we want a large crowd, Bennington rents out many other homes in our circle, enough for a huge family reunion that allows our home to be used for a cozy, two-bedroom holiday haven!
