Deschutes Riverfront Retreat is a corporate retreat house: a private three-acre estate on the Deschutes River near Sunriver, about 30 minutes from Bend. It sleeps up to 30 (maximum 24 adults) across 11 bedrooms and 6 baths. There is free 200 Mbps WiFi throughout and a 12-foot dining table that doubles as a boardroom. Two large living areas take the breakouts, and 450 feet of river takes the downtime.

Why Bend and Sunriver suit a company offsite
The estate puts the meeting room, the beds, the kitchen and the downtime on one property. Nobody drives between a hotel and a venue. It is one private estate that sleeps up to 30, instead of stitching together four separate condos. Bend is about 30 minutes away, and Sunriver Resort is five miles, about ten minutes.
The house sits at the end of a dead-end private road in the Three Rivers area near Sunriver, Oregon. There are 80 acres of trees on one side and protected river habitat across the water. That reach of the Deschutes is a federally designated Wild and Scenic River. It is about as private as Central Oregon gets, so a team can talk freely.
The estate hosts corporate offsites, wellness and team retreats, sports teams, milestone birthdays and multi-family trips. See wellness retreats and every other kind of group retreat.
The boardroom: a 12-foot table in the Sunriver estate's great room
The main session happens at the 12-foot dining table in the vaulted great room of the Lodge. It is a twelve-seat table with benches and chairs. Additional chairs and folding tables are available for a bigger circle: about 16 folding chairs and some folding tables are on site.
The great room has a vaulted ceiling, a stone fireplace, a long sectional and a wall-mounted television, with the open kitchen beside it. The Lodge has a 65-inch 4K TV. Bring the cables and adapters your laptops need.
The open kitchen, with its Breville espresso machine and a large butcher-block island, is beside the great room, so coffee breaks stay short. Four 8-foot picnic tables stand in a row outside for a session or a meal in the open air.
Breakout rooms: two living areas, the covered deck and the Cottage
There are two large living areas with vaulted ceilings and stone fireplaces, one upstairs and one down. A group can split into two sessions without leaving the Lodge.
| Space | What it is | Use at an offsite |
|---|---|---|
| Great room (upstairs living area) | The 12-foot table, a vaulted ceiling, a stone fireplace, a sectional and the open kitchen | Whole-group sessions and meals |
| Downstairs living area | A vaulted ceiling and a stone fireplace, on the same floor as the game room with the pool table and ping pong | A second session or a workshop |
| Wrap-around covered deck | Runs the length of the Lodge, with sturdy tables and chairs, a dining set and a large gas grill | An outdoor breakout, lunch |
| Cottage living space | A separate building steps from the Lodge, with a wood stove | The leadership huddle |
| Private dock | Adirondack chairs on the dock and a hammock by the water, on 450 feet of river | One-on-ones |
| Game room | Pool table, ping pong, arcade and Xbox | Evenings |
The Cottage has five small bedrooms and its own cozy living space, so it also works as a quiet base for the leadership team.
200 Mbps WiFi throughout for a working offsite near Bend
There is free high-speed 200 Mbps WiFi throughout. The two large living areas and the long dining table work well for remote work and group sessions. A hybrid meeting with colleagues joining by video is practical.
The working spaces are all in the Lodge: the great room, the downstairs living area and the covered deck. A 65-inch 4K TV with DISH, Blu-ray and HD TVs cover the evenings.

Private chef and massage through Epicurate
We can arrange private chefs and mobile massage for your group through our Epicurate partners. The vendor list also covers photography and video, meal delivery, and workshops and classes.
A private chef keeps the team on the property between sessions instead of driving out. Dinner can be at the 12-foot table inside or at the four 8-foot picnic tables outside. Mobile massage on the second afternoon gives people a reason to close the laptop.
If the group cooks, the kitchen is chef-friendly. It has a large butcher-block island, a Vitamix, a KitchenAid mixer, a sous vide and a Breville espresso machine. The deck has a large gas grill. In Bend, Costco, Trader Joe's, Fred Meyer, Whole Foods, WinCo and Newport Avenue Market cover the big shop. The Sunriver Country Store, closer in, covers the essentials.

What it costs and how to book the Sunriver estate direct
The live calendar on Book Now shows the current nightly rate for your dates. Booking direct on this site saves you the service fees that Airbnb and VRBO charge, which matters on a group invoice.
If your booking is requested at least 30 days before check-in and you cancel within 24 hours after it is accepted, you get a 100% refund. If you cancel at least 365 days before check-in, you get a 100% refund. If you cancel at least 180 days before check-in (180 to 364 days), you get a 75% refund.

If you cancel less than 1 day before check-in, or after check-in, there is no refund. The policy in effect when you book is the one that applies to your booking.

Direct bookings are paid in up to three installments: 15% at booking, 45% due 180 days before check-in, and 40% due 30 days before check-in. The number of payments depends on how far ahead you book. Hospitable attempts to capture each payment automatically. Weddings and events booked direct follow the same cancellation and payment policy.

Check-in is after 4:00 PM and check-out is before 11:00 AM. Early check-in and late check-out cannot be guaranteed and depend on other reservations. Peak dates book up far in advance, so hold the dates early.
