The River House is your spacious luxury retreat on the banks of the Deschutes, the ideal spot to celebrate life with friends and family. Toast your arrival with an Oregon vintage savored in Adirondack chairs on the deck. Enjoy the blacktail deer grazing nearby on wild grasses. Then explore their footpath to the water’s edge, where floaters and canoeists glide along the currents. If you’re ready for action, grab your clubs or racket, and head to the course and courts just down the road. Then as the sun dips over the National Forest on the river’s far bank, relax into the hot tub and ignite the gas grill. If it’s chilly after supper, build a fire in the two story river rock hearth, and stream a favorite feature on the 65” flat screen. When it’s finally time to call it a night, take a moment to savor the canopy of High Desert starlight before drifting off to sleep. Next morning as you awake, that unforgettable river is right there waiting for you, and over coffee and conversation with friends and family you’ll realize you’ve already gotten started on those memories you came to make.
Your Property
On opening the front door you’ll notice how the river theme flows throughout this memorable Northwest retreat. The restful decor is inspired by native shades of lichen, whitewashed timber, warm sunsets, and mineral grays, and the design blends seamlessly with the panorama revealed by floor-to-ceiling windows. Curated art and unique bedding accent every living area, capturing the many moods of life on the water. Children will especially enjoy the whimsical finned and furry creatures found in both twin and bunk bedrooms.
The spacious living room, dining room and kitchen form a ground floor hub for conversation and hospitality. The several bedrooms and bathrooms spread outward and upward from here, providing spaces for relaxation and privacy as multiple generations and friend groups travel together. There are also delightful bonus spaces, such as the open loft for gathering around puzzles and games, and the semi-private suite off the second-floor landing, and the fully outfitted ski room for drying wet gear.

Enjoy leather lounge chairs flanking the gas fireplace, a galley kitchen for prepping light meals and snacks, and a spacious full bath with floor-to-ceiling storage for your travel gear. When it’s time to wind down, there’s both a queen bedroom and a separate queen murphy bed.
2. The Ski Room: located conveniently off the garage, there’s plenty of wall racks for skis, poles, jackets and hats; for gloves and boots there are deep shelves and a pair of powerful blow dryers. Ducting into the main house provides gentle, warm air circulation as everything dries overnight.
3. Remote workstation: a sleek oak desk, a supportive swivel chair, and high-speed internet team up to provide just what you need for keeping in touch with the office.
4. Footpath down to the river: meandering mule deer trace a slender trail among the pines and native grasses to the riverbank. Throughout the summer splashy canoes launch from the Resort upstream and fill the river with frothy paddling and hearty laughter.
