Ready to Retreat, Relax, Rejuvenate? Tetherow Delivers the Idyllic Northwest Staycation

Soggy northwest weather, taxes and first quarter stresses can manufacture a necessity to escape for a weekend (or a week) in early spring. Tetherow answers the siren’s call for those looking to check out by checking in.
Located just seven minutes from downtown Bend, Tetherow embodies the laid-back vibe of Central Oregon while simultaneously offering indulgent luxury accommodations with breathtaking views. “Young, hip, fit and active – Bend is the true ‘outdoor lifestyle’ destination,” says Kristi DiTullio, Director of Sales at Tetherow.

Hotel General Manager Loy Helmly agrees. “Other Central Oregon resorts are 30-45 min. away from downtown Bend,” he says, “this is a ‘destination resort,’ but with close proximity to a thriving culture of arts, outdoor activities, restaurants, breweries and distilleries.”

Accommodations
Tetherow offers 50 hotel rooms and exceptional staycation accommodations with 17, soon to be 40, vacation home rentals. Each 2800+ square foot vacation home boasts five bedrooms and five bathrooms, with showers included in each bathroom for extra privacy when traveling as a family or a group of friends. Homes are completely stocked and equipped with kitchen cooking utensils, pots, pans and extras to suit even the novice chef.

Each house has a patio area with a BBQ, a hot tub for soaking up stress, and a fire pit for nightly gatherings under a bright, star-lit sky. Most homes also have a balcony with panoramic views. Traveling as a family? Ask for a home with an upstairs great room, including bunk beds, a card table, and TV’s with cable connection for the gamers.

Activities
From arrival to departure, Tetherow offers a plethora of activities from the extreme - white water rafting, skiing, snowboarding, paddle boarding, biking and hiking, to the relaxing –golf (depending on temperament and handicap), yoga, meditation and swimming. Situated on a coveted 18-hole golf course, golfers can step out of their room and tee up within minutes. Tetherow’s state-of-the-art fitness center offers something for everyone, from the fitness greenhorn to the health guru.

Cardio machines feature 19-inch touch screens with access to virtual coaching, Netflix, the internet and television, as well as stunning and expansive views of the property to breathe in while you breathe out. Group fitness class offerings are extensive and well-rounded, from Barre to yoga to strength & conditioning. The outdoor swimming pool is heated to 86 degrees year-round, as perfect for swimming when snowflakes fall as in the summer months.

Dining
Three varying onsite restaurants accommodate all culinary needs, from the casual and quick pick me up, to a 19th hole and apres ski favorite, to a fine dining destination. At Tetherow’s Café, guests will find both unusual and unusually healthy local treats, like Laird’s Superfood Coffee (a must try), Metolius artisan teas (their motto is ‘chai it, you’ll like it!’), and locally made baked goods from Bend’s Sparrow bakery.

Lunch at the café means a healthy menu of made to order wraps, sandwiches, salads, flatbreads and bowls. Daily scratch made soups are terrific in the cooler weather months, as winter dawns into spring. The Row is pub-like in both food and ambience, with a lively vibe of loyal locals who descend there after a round of golf or a day on the mountain. With a dozen locally made beers on tap and a well thought through menu of burgers and bites, The Row becomes a daily haunt for onsite guests. Solomon’s offers a rotating menu of Pacific Northwest highlights, from seafood to elk, perfect for the resort guest who craves great culinary creations.

The Quintessential Vacation
Complimentary shuttle service gets guests to and from city center, where fabulous restaurants, boutique shopping, and breweries await: Bend boasts the most breweries per capita in the U.S., making for a rough count of one brewery for every 3,636 humans. Pets? No problem - no furry friend needs to be left behind; Tetherow welcomes and caters to pets.
With the benefit of such close proximity to downtown Bend, Tetherow offers the consummate cross section for those out of towners wanting to both ‘stay in, hole up and relax’ or ‘explore, shop and play’. Says Helmly, “there is something for everyone to do in Central Oregon.”
