Centuries ago, water once covered the vast Sunriver area in Bend, Oregon. Eventually, that water broke through its natural dam, leaving behind a dry lake bed that slowly developed into one of the Pacific Northwest’s most beautiful meadows, in which Sunriver Resort found its home.
In 1965, John D. Gray, founder of Omark Industries, and Donald V. McCallum, a Portland attorney, announced their plan to build a gem among resorts and hotels in Oregon. They named the resort Sunriver to reflect the area’s most characteristic features.
Sunriver would become an Oregon resort and residential community with carefully defined parameters. One of the most significant was a luxurious lodge that would anchor activity for the entire development. More importantly, the natural environment would not be compromised.
Since 1969, Sunriver has become the Pacific Northwest’s finest resort community, offering wide-ranging accommodations, including 245 guest rooms and suites and 300+ vacation homes and condominiums, plus resort activities, amenities, and facilities.
Set in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, Sunriver, Oregon, boasts 300 days of sunshine and a climate ideal for many outdoor activities, including world-class golf, skiing and snowboarding, kayaking, fishing, rock climbing, and biking.
Guests have complimentary access to the Fitness Center at The Spa, which includes Precor treadmills, elliptical trainers, climbers, upright and recumbent bikes, an advanced movement studio, and a three-lane indoor lap pool. There are also over 40 miles of paved bike trails for walking and biking and onsite Pickleball instructions.
The Spa at Sunriver Resort offers massages, facials, body treatments, and salon services for relaxation and unwinding.
The resort boasts four golf courses with a total of 63 holes. Golf Magazine awarded Sunriver the coveted Gold Medal, identifying this as one of America’s best golf resorts. Carefully designed to preserve the area’s natural beauty, each course has its own character.
When you get hungry, visit one of the 11 on-site restaurants and cafes, like the Owl’s Nest, open for lunch, dinner, and late-night fun. The Lodge Kitchen is also open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and is more family-oriented, and The Grille at Crosswater offers a proper Northwest family dining room.
With more than 44,000 square feet of flexible meeting and banquet space, groups can choose from an indoor space featuring Northwest-style ambiance or gorgeous outdoor space, including the scenic Bachelor Lawn, Besson Commons, or Great Hall Courtyard.
Whether planning a corporate meeting or a dream wedding, Sunriver’s state-of-the-art meeting facilities and world-class recreation opportunities will help give your event flexibility and creativity that exceeds your expectations.
With a strong emphasis on preserving its natural surroundings, Sunriver has realized a unique balance between development and nature.
