Imagine riding bikes through a rolling meadow, with the Cascade mountain range in the background, a few feet away from the Deschutes River, with crisp blue skies. And then kayaking those pristine waters on a sunny day, and enjoying the gorgeous sunset … in September!

Our house was stocked with 12 cruiser bikes, so the first activity was hitting the bike trails. Sunriver has a Bike Barn, so you’re sure to get just the right size bike when you rent their beautiful homes.

We rode all over Sunriver, ending up at the marina for lunch at Hola Mexican Restaurant. The bike paths are flat and well paved, making it an easy trek for all abilities. It was our friend Mary’s first time to ride in 25 years!

Sage Springs Club and Spa

Then we did a little shopping in the village. Saw the deer in perfect sunlight on return. And enjoyed a spa treatment at Sage Springs Spa.

We loved our time at Sage Springs Club and Spa. They offer a full range of massages, facials, body treatments, and salon services.

The Marina

Everyone got their own kayak, and we floated down the beautiful Deschutes River, with a pleasant detour up Spring River, where we had lunch, provided by Whole Foods Bend.
