My wife and I had an absolutely terrific stay here! We can't recommend this home highly enough. We both work remotely and never before have we stayed at a short-term vacation rental so comfortable and so thoroughly well-equipped for remote work. This house has a mesh WiFi system with plenty of bandwidth and speed for our (often overlapping) zoom meetings. There are desks in 3 bedrooms of the house, which make for really nice private + quiet workstations. As any thorough review should note - the beds here were a highlight too. Incredibly comfortable and cozy, including the tempur pedic mattress in the master bedroom and the latex mattress in the back bedroom off the kitchen. So this house definitely checks the comfort box. The kitchen was fabulous too - it had everything we needed (including great appliances) as well as plenty of seating at the big dining room table. The games (foosball, ping pong, axe throwing) that this house comes with are great fun and the TV room with a massive screen and an equally massive couch is also fantastic. This house clearly checks the "fun" box too! Oh, and I should also mention the hot tub because that was a big highlight: it's large, deep, spacious, and piping hot. There's even a lever mechanism for the lid so that it's really easy to open and close (no heavy lifting). We also loved that there were heated floors in the bathrooms (much appreciated after getting out of the hot tub). We felt like we were at a spa :) The house is located just a couple blocks away from the Deschutes river, which made for some really nice viewing while walking the Sunriver path system. There's also access to the open forested area across the river (beautiful) via the nearby bridge. It's also an easy bike ride (or jog) to the Sunriver village (casually biking over to Sunriver Brewing for happy hour was a highlight!). Whether you're working remotely or just looking to relax and play, this Sunriver home really has it all. We highly recommend staying here, 10/10!

I enjoyed my stay to the fullest. The house was amazing with beautiful and fun décor, spacious bedrooms, beautifully remodeled bathrooms and more amenities than could imagine. The living room/kitchen areas, as the group gathering spaces, facilitated a lot of laughter and fun! Exploring out the front door, we enjoyed many long walks/runs, bike rides as well as excursions to nearby hiking trails and into Bend for dinner. Stopped in nearby Sisters for coffee too! No complaints or suggestions for improvement. LOCATION The house sits on a large lot oriented for maximum privacy. Out the front door, there is access to Sunriver pathways, including being less than 1 mile from the Deschutes River loop path and walking/running/cycling paths around Sunriver. Easy access to tennis courts, recreation facility with a pool and shopping and dining within Sunriver. Less than 30 min. drive into Bend for excursions/hiking/dining and ~40 minutes into the quaint town of Sisters for shopping, coffee and special events the town offers. THE HOUSE – Very spacious with an inviting vibe to relax and enjoy a home away from home. The house décor and art create an environment filled with beautiful watercolors, nature prints and whimsical signage and sculptural pieces. A variety of bedroom arrangements to meet the needs of a large group where both privacy and group gatherings are desired. The open concept of the abundantly stocked kitchen allows for preparing meals and seated dining at a large table with views to the outside. The sunken living room with floor to ceiling windows, offers spacious and comfortable seating in a leather sectional, 2 individual recliners and extra tables and chairs to enjoy puzzle making, reading and relaxation. The large, wall-hung TV invites group movie viewing BATHROOMS: All bathrooms are nicely remodeled with spacious walk in showers and/or 2 separate soaking tubs. AMENITIES: More amenities than one could imagine. · Lovely outdoor patio with lounge chairs, a large dining table, propane heater for chilly evenings, a large hot tub with privacy walls for relaxation (especially at night for soaking and star gazing). · There are outdoor games including “axe” throwing, cornhole, foosball and ping pong) · 6 cruise bikes available to enjoy the local trails together to explore and enjoy the Sunriver pathways · Games: outdoor and in the garage (foosball, ping pong, corn hole, faux axe toss. · Reliable wifi and TV streaming
