Snag a Sunriver cabin rental or seek something quieter in the surrounding forest.
A short drive south of Bend, Sunriver is a community that serves primarily as a getaway, though some people do call the resort town home year-round. With multiple golf courses, swimming pools, an equestrian center, and close to 40 miles of hiking and walking trails, Sunriver gets a lot of summertime visitors, though it's also a good winter destination, particularly for those who want easy access to the slopes at nearby Mount Bachelor. Because Sunriver serves as a vacation resort, it has tons of cabins, winter chalets, condos, and vacation homes for rent, most of which are privately owned. Many are close together, neighborhood-style, which can diminish the cabin-in-the-woods feel many travelers prefer. Fortunately, plenty of privately owned alternatives dot the nearby Ochoco, Willamette, and Deschutes national forests, with options ranging from cozy cottages with rustic charm to modern log cabins with full kitchens, wood stoves, and wifi.
