A 7-day stay allows you to unwind and really get into that zen-mode you’ve been yearning for all summer. Book some time at the Spa, take long nature walks, eat amazing food, gaze at the stars, snuggle up near the fireplace, and forget about everything you’ve left behind.
SOAK UP THE SCENERY
Welcome to Sunriver Resort! After checking in, we recommend you pop up to the hostess stand in The Lodge and ask to see the wine list – you deserve it. As you mosey toward your guestroom or suite, head out to the back patio and plop yourself down in an Adirondack chair... you have arrived. Pour yourselves a glass of wine and soak up the scenery. Take a deep breath and notice the scent of pine – it surrounds you. Listen to the birds as they chirp and dodge happily in the sunny sky. Relax and let go.
Hungry for dinner? Order Carson’s To-Go, direct to the room, as you continue to unwind from your drive or flight. After dinner, put on your tennies and take a stroll down any section of our beautiful, paved trail system and enjoy the sunset, bringing a close to your peaceful evening. One of the perks of being in the Pacific Northwest – the unforgettable sunsets.
KAYAKS & CHARCUTERIE
Perhaps today is perfect for being on the water. Sunriver Resort offers a 6-mile float (2-3 hours depending on the vessel) out of the Marina. Choose your vessel of choice, whether it be a canoe, kayak or standup paddleboard and float down the Deschutes River amongst islands of tall grasses, past the horses, and you might even see a bald eagle if you’re lucky! And yes, your furry friend is welcome too! Find everything you need at the Marina Shop – sunscreen, water bags, swimsuits, etc. The temperature can be cool on the water, so layer-up moving into the fall months. There’s nothing more romantic than being on the water with your sweetie. You might want to plan-ahead and pack a sack-lunch or order a charcuterie platter to-go from Carson’s to enjoy during your adventure.
For Dinner, we recommend South Bend Bistro, here in Sunriver at The Village. Executive Chef Kelly Day has a fresh perspective of Central Oregon cuisine. A mix of local culinary products known to the Northwest, as well as imported specialty meats and cheeses, makes this menu unique. Wines thoughtfully selected by David Stofle to balance with each dish.
SPA DAY FOR TWO
Today is all about you. Let’s begin the morning centering your chakras and grounding yourself with some Nature Yoga. Enjoy fresh mountain air during this relaxing Hatha Flow Yoga class near the river, hosted by Sage Springs Spa. Afterward, take a nature walk on the trail, through the pines. Listen to the birds and enjoy each other’s company.
Make your way back to Sage Springs Spa for a Riverside Relaxer or Deschutes Deep Tissue massage. Our skilled massage therapists offer a variety of massage techniques tailored to meet your specific needs to encourage relaxation and rejuvenation. Please book your appointment ahead of time, here. Ask about our beverage add-ons ... a glass of champagne always helps to set the mood.
Whisk your lover away to a fancy dinner at Carson’s American Kitchen. With an amazing wine selection and decadent cocktails, you’ll be in for a treat. Some of our food-favorites: Coho Salmon with roasted corn succotash; pork chop with aged white cheddar soufflé; seafood pasta, and of course, the filet. Please make a reservation ahead of time. Carson’s is also available for pick-up if you want to get cozy in your room near the fireplace.
