Summer Season is Upon Us!
Summer in Sunriver is here!
There are so many fun options for activities, it's hard to decide what to do.
Some of our favorite activities when we visit Sunriver are biking and hiking (and sitting and sipping). Each summer we try to get to at least one Bend Elk's Baseball game, and one summer we learned all about geocaching (there are several geocaches in Sunriver).
Other fun options include:
The High Desert Museum. Check out the museum website for upcoming events. Closer to home, the Sunriver Nature Center also has fun, educational activities. You can find their event schedule here. Even Mt. Bachelor has events and activities during the summer. Check it out here! And, Sunriver Resort's Fort Funigan has fun activities planned year round. Here is a current sampling from their website:

Summer Reservations Underway!
Hi friends,
We are starting to get calls and emails from our annual summer guests. This is one of my favorite parts of renting our Sunriver home--hearing from those of you who come year after year and think of 16 Mt Hood Lane as your very own home away from home. I am so happy that so many families have built traditions in our home. I look forward to sharing many more years of memories with you, and I look forward to the beginning of new traditions for families who schedule their first visit this year!
It's time to start planning for summer!
