Get ready for a week of adventure, relaxation, and breathtaking views. This summer itinerary has something for everyone – from exploring lush trails and stargazing under clear skies to finding your center and indulging in seasonal local flavors. This is summer, as it’s meant to be. 

Day 1: Soak Up the Scenery
After checking in, swing by Owl’s Nest and ask for the drink menu. Sip on a glass of Central Oregon’s finest wine and enjoy scenic views of Mt. Bachelor. For dinner, head to Lodge Kitchen for a nourishing ranch-to-table meal against the backdrop of meadows and mountains. End the day wandering paved trails and watching the sunset.

Day 2: Float Down the Deschutes
Embark on a 6-mile float down the Deschutes River by canoe, kayak, or stand-up paddleboard. The Marina has everything you forgot to pack, from sunscreen to swimsuits. Along the way, enjoy the picturesque views of sparkling water and wildlife. Pack a lunch or order a to-go charcuterie platter from Lodge Kitchen. For dinner, indulge in the delicious cuisine at Caldera Springs’ Zeppa Bistro while looking out on Obsidian Lake.

Day 3: Rejuvenate at Sage Springs Spa
Begin the morning centering your chakras with a Hatha Flow Yoga class beside the river, followed by a nature walk. Next, treat yourself to a rejuvenating massage. Make sure to book ahead of time and ask about add-ons. (Champagne, anyone?) Come evening, try something new at Lodge Kitchen. Might we recommend the seafood pasta, cornmeal crusted red band Idaho trout, or spinach rotolo rolled lasagna.

Day 4: Experience a Helicopter & Wine Tour
Embark on a breathtaking 60-minute helicopter tour. Depart from Sunriver Airport with Big Mountain Heli-Tours and enjoy stunning views of Bend and the Cascade Mountains. Complimentary wine tasting and a bottle of wine from VaPiano await after the flight. Or, opt for a Helicopter Wine Tour from Sunriver Airport to private vineyards that offer panoramic views of the Three Sisters Mountains. Savor a charcuterie, artisan cheese, and chocolate tasting board in the tasting room amidst the breathtaking scenery. For dinner, make a reservation for The Grille at Crosswater. This Northwest-inspired restaurant offers a distinctive menu of New American cuisine prepared with the freshest local ingredients. Take advantage of complimentary shuttle service to and from the resort.

Day 5: Chase Waterfalls & Dine Atop a Volcano
Sunriver and its surrounding areas are home to many beautiful waterfalls. Benham Falls can be accessed by vehicle, foot, or bike directly from Sunriver Resort. Look out over Tumalo Falls from the deck or take a gentle hike to the top. Paulina Creek Falls has an accessible trail to picnic sites and a stunning overlook. Whatever you choose, you’re sure to work up an appetite. Ascend Mt. Bachelor via chairlift for a unique dining experience at Pine Marten Lodge, where you can enjoy a locally inspired prix-fixe menu. Bring layers!

Day 6: Sunbathe by Day, Stargaze by Night
Opt for a day at The Cove. This indoor-outdoor all-year aquatic center features a zero-entry pool and hot tub, private cabanas, a waterslide, a nature walk and discovery area, lakeside trails, and a spacious deck and lawn. Grab lunch at The Spotted Frog. After you’ve had your share of sunshine, head to Owl's Nest for pub bites and a craft beer or cocktail. After dark, visit the nation’s largest, publicly accessible Observatory for a mesmerizing stargazing experience. An hour tour at this NASA-sponsored destination includes viewing telescopes with staff astronomers, meteorite displays, and more.

Day 7: Savor, Shop, & Return Refreshed
This AM, your toughest decision will be between the Bananas Foster French Toast or the Blueberry Pancakes at Lodge Kitchen. After breakfast, sneak in one more stroll on our lush trails, breathe in that pine air, and reminisce about your getaway. Before you pack up, pop into Merchant Trader for a souvenir to remember your stay or something special for your loved ones back home.
