Our family (2 boys ages 10, 11) fell in love with The Pines over 3 years ago, after staying in the loft style 1 bedroom townhouse on the golf course. The 1 bedroom and loft rental each come with a comfortable murphy bed. Full sized kitchen and everything you would need for stay-in dining. This was our 3rd visit to the Pines in 3 years and we typically go to Hawaii every Summer and Winter. So it says a lot about how much we enjoy staying here. We find it a safe place for our family, very relaxing, weather is pleasant, (high desert type of weather), very peaceful. Deer, prairie dogs, and otters roam the area. This is a Vacation International timeshare townhouse-style rental with large decks facing the golf course or the pool area. The property includes a large clubhouse that features a jacuzzi, pool with umbrella picnic tables/lounge chairs. Clubhouse also has a gym, games room, ping pong tables, pool table, large screen TV, couches, many 4-person tables for a nice sized gathering, kitchen. Each rental unit comes with 2 free bikes, which is such a convenience since one of the highlights of our stay is the great bike loop that takes you around the perimeter of the golf course, through a nature path, horseback riding, etc. The townhouse style buildings each have a bike parking area, great BBQ/picnic area for community or private BBQ's. We're hooked on this place and have already booked our stay...
Read moreMy first inclination in reviewing The Pines was to 1-star it and say it was horrible, just so that I wouldn’t be hurting my odds of competing for a place to stay there again in the future. ||||In truth, the place was great and I feel like an idiot for not staying there before, since I’ve been coming to Sunriver since I was a kid. We stayed in a one-bedroom loft room which was perfect for our family. The beds were comfy (even the Murphy), the view of the golf course was nice, and the jet tub was amazing! The room was immaculately clean, and check-in/check-out employees were exceptional friendly and helpful. ||||Seasonally, The Pines offer two free bike rentals for your stay, with additional bikes at $5 each. ||||The pool and hot tub were perfect for cooling off, which brings me to my one gripe: no air conditioning in the room. Fans help, and letting cool air in at night to trap during the day eases the heat, but be prepared to be warm on hot summer days (unless you’re out enjoying activities anyway). ||||We started planning a winter trip immediately, and we plan to use The Pines as our home base from which to ski at Mt Bachelor. ||||The best part? Extremely reasonable rates for the quality offered. I’d stay here over and over...
Read moreThis place is TRULY amazing. Tucked off the highway in a spread out community in the trees, rivers, and golf! Before we got there we didn't even know there was a huge restaurant shopping village in the middle of it. Check in and check out was friendly, fast and easy. The rooms are absolutely amazing. We stayed in a 600ft+ studio with a trundle bed. The interior is HUGE. It has a fireplace, couches, large spacious fully stocked kitchen, washer/dryer, massive walk in shower and large bathroom, and sliding door to patio deck with views of the golf course and nature. Everything is updated/new with a very clean feeling. We got a last minute bargain at a literal motel rate, and walked into a full on vacation rental for two days with everything you could want. Bend is about 10 mins away, but Sunriver has everything you need too. If the price is right, I absolutely HIGHLY recommend this place over anything...
