As a much-needed “time-out”, I just spent a glorious week-plus with family and friends in Sunriver, Oregon. I highly recommend this resort for the actively inclined. We mountain-biked all day to several spectacular waterfalls, went rock climbing on granite over-looking the river, hiked to mountain vistas, lakes, and volcano rims, and went white water rafting. There’s also golfing, tennis and swimming. In addition, we spent a lot of our time together cooking, cavorting and conversing.
Sunriver Resort has wonderful houses for rent and we were fortunate to rent a large home overlooking Deschutes River which flows through the resort. There was plenty of room for all of us and, with our rented bicycles, transportation for everyone, no matter where they wanted to go.
The for-sale home prices at the resort were comparable to prices here in the south county. The most expensive home I saw listed at Sunriver was in the mid-$2 million range and the lowest-priced condos were listed in the mid-$200,000s. This range is a little lower than what we have to offer currently in the south Santa Clara County, but for many, the Sunriver homes are not their primary residence.
So, for a multi-generational vacation where there is something to entertain everyone, we will be visiting Sunriver again. But for now, it’s back to work….
