Get Ready for Summer 2016!

Summer season in Sunriver has arrived! Here is a gorgeous video montage of Sunriver sights that is sure to get you jazzed up about your upcoming visit!

We have added a new amenity to our Sunriver Home: A ping pong table! You are welcome to use our ping pong table when you visit, but we do ask that you take care to return both sides of the table to the upright position and return to the side of the garage, and gather back the balls and all four paddles to the red supply bag and hang the red bag on the table when you are done. Likewise, if you use our bikes during your visit, please be sure to return to them in a orderly fashion to the front of the garage prior to your departure. Thanks!

Here are a few additional important updates for our summer guests:

If you are visiting in late June, be prepared for an especially busy time in Sunriver and Central Oregon June 24 - 26 as the The Pacific Crest Triathlon and Sports Festival celebrates its 20th Anniversary.

If you have in the past brought your own water vessel (i.e. raft, kayak, canoe, etc) for floats down the Deschutes River, please be aware that you will now need to bring one of the six SHARC guest passes (located in the closet near the dining room table) to access the free owner/guest parking area at the Sunriver Marina.

In case you haven't visited for awhile, a couple of summers ago the Sunriver Owner's Association converted the North Pool to an Owner's Only pool.

If you haven't yet downloaded the free Sunriver Navigator App to your mobile device, click here for more information.  

In addition to the App, there are many other local websites to help you plan your trip. Here are our some of our favorite resources for information about Sunriver and Central Oregon events and activities:

Finally, here are some advisories from the Sunriver Owners' Association:

"The Oregon Department of Transportation is widening U.S. Highway 97 between Bend and Sunriver and installing additional median barriers. This project will reduce southbound travel to one lane through most of summer, so factor in some additional time driving to Sunriver from Portland and points north, or just running back and forth between Sunriver and Bend."

"Summer has arrived with a record-breaking heat wave across Central Oregon. Higher-than-normal temperatures are expected and have dried out our forest, and we ask that everyone be extra cautious out there. Dry, hot temperatures also generate summer lightning storms. In the event of a storm all outdoor aquatics at SHARC and the North Pool will be closed until the threat has passed."

"ROAD AND PATHWAY SLURRY SEALING
PLEASE PLEASE obey all road and pathway closure signs, barricades, cones and flagging. Driving, biking, walking on still-wet asphalt damages the surface — not to mention it sticking to your tires, shoes, dog paws, etc. This needed maintenance is only a temporary inconvenience, and stretches the lifespan of the road or pathway — saving thousands in costly road repairs and replacement."

"FIREWORKS
This is a reminder NO FIREWORKS are allowed in Sunriver. This includes the so-called “safe and sane” variety. There are free, July 4 firework displays that will take place in Bend and La Pine."

Have a wonderful time in Sunriver! Please get in touch if you have any questions or if you'd like to book YOUR next getaway!
