  Nice kitchen, new appliances, audio/visual old. I entered the house, put the keys on the table, locked the door I came in out of habit, went to the garage, pulled in the car, high 20's and snowing. When I tried to open the door into the house from the garage, the door latch was locked and I was stuck outside, in a very remote location of Sunriver.
  
  Cell phone on the kitchen table, alone, locked out, cold, snowing and I had no way to contact the rental agency. I had the car keys and my wallet was in the rental car. So I got in and out of it to stay warm while I tried to figure out what to do.
  
  Friends were on their way. After I thought about it, I tried to call through the bluetooth in the car, it connected with my phone on the kitchen table. My friends were able to contact the rental agency. The person sent to unlock the house arrived from La Pine and I tipped him nicely.
  
  I got back inside and examined the handset on the door, the locking mechanism was jacked. You could move it around and the door was locked from the outside no matter where it was set. You'd move it again and it was unlocked no matter what position it was in. It was faulty and in disrepair and it posed a serious problem because there was no one around, the agency was closed and it was dark, snowing and cold. I spent quite a bit to rent this home and this was how my experience began. It wasn't simply that I locked myself out of the house; the door lock was faulty and in disrepair.
  
  When I mentioned it to the representative as I checked out, there was feigned interest, but she wasn't listening to what I said. My visit was over, already paid for, and the phone was ringing with no staff to serve new guest, so I don't believe it was written down for repair. If you rent this house, do not trust the garage door lock and keep a house key with you whenever you leave.
  
  The only other thing is that the spa is very small. It's nice to have one, but more than two adults

    Dan, Thank you for letting us know about this, I have let maintenance know to get this fixed. I have also gone over this with the front desk group since you had a feeling it wouldn't be taken care of. It was nice to talk to you today and I'm glad you'll be back. Just to follow up with you Dan, we did get the locking door knob replaced on the door leading from the garage into the house.

  Paul W from SantaBarbara, Ca recommends this vacation rental

  We've come to Sunriver for family vacations for over 25 years.
  Everything one would want is available. We've stayed in several different accomodations and each has its own advantages. It had been 8 years since our last visit and we returned to this home - its our favorite. We laughed at our comments in the guest book from years past and eased into the many pleasures of the home and area. We look forward to returning with a new generation...a great place for kids to learn to ride a bike - by the way.

  a guest from Gold Beach, Oregon recommends this vacation rental

  I stayed here with my two college age siblings and our parents. The house was perfect! We loved being on the water and the price was good. The house actually looks better than the pictures. Check in lady was great.
  So things to fix: tv was pretty small, had to walk through a bedroom to get to the down stairs bath, downstairs bedroom advertised as a master and a den, but it's a little room with a double bed, not exactly a master, so i'd work on making that more clear in the description. The living room doesn't have enough comfy seating for five, but that's a little hard to fix.
  Overall, really nice though. Loved the spiral staircase. Dad spent a lot of time admiring the craftsmanship. Thanks so much-- in ten years in Sunriver, this is the first house we'd repeat based on what we got for the price.
  Overall,

  Wonderful location: quiet, great views from house and hot tub. My only suggestion: pots & pans need to be upgraded, they are all less than Good Will/Salvation Army quality. But love the house and the Discover Sun River staff.

  • Manager Responded on 11/23/2009

    Isn't that the nicest little spot on Sun River! Great to sit in the hot tub and look out towards the river is so relaxing. Thank you for the heads up on the pots and pans, seems simple enough to make an improvement. See you next time you are visiting Sunriver. Discover Sunriver Vacation Rentals

  Beverly R from Welches, OR recommends this vacation rental

  We loved the peace and quiet plus the seclusion. We were sad the screen door leading to the patio off of the dining area was so bent it could not be used. Because of the heat, lack of AC, and the mosquitoes, it was really needed. The floors upstairs in one bedroom had several groans and creaks. The kitchen was well stocked, but very small with limited space to put our own "essentials". We loved the hot tub and watching the deer, squirrels, ducks, and birds.

  • Manager Responded on 12/15/2010

    We wish you would have let us know about the screen door. We would have been out there to fix it while you were here. We have fixed the screen.

  House location is perfect. Very private but close to bike path. Our grandchildren loved having the deer so close, along with the birds, squirrels and raccoons. We saw the river otters from our porch!
  The bed/bath arrangement is strange (with only 2 baths, 8 people would have to be VERY good friends) but the location makes up for it. Will definitely be back.

  Loved the location. Very clean and well maintained. Layout is a bit odd, three rooms and one small bathroom upstairs was crowded. Blinds in the living room would be a nice addition. Will use again but not for eight people.

  • Manager Responded on 12/15/2010

    The reason there are no blinds on the livingroom windows is based on the fabulous river views and no one across the river to look at.

  We have been renting in Sunriver for over 20 years. This house was the best by far, mainly for its location. My husband and I stayed in the lower level "master suite". The owners should consider removing the headboard and footboard on the full bed to create a little more space in a very cramped room. Other than that, the house is exceptional.

  Andrea T from Bellevue, WA recommends this vacation rental

  Garage door was out of order and made it difficult getting in and out with bikes.
  
  The property manager was very prompt and helpful in solving the issue/ miscommunication of no A/C. Blankets were immediatly hung on the windows to keep the heat out (because there were no blinds)and fans were provided to help circulate the cool morning and evening air; the property manager was also very proactive in trying to find us a residence with A/C which we declined because we didn't want to pack everything up again and we just hoped the weather would stay cool that week.
  
  We will be extra careful next time to triple check any house we rent to make sure it has A/C and internet access as those are our only big requirements.
  
  The house is in a good location and has lots of natural shade which helped keep the heat down, but maybe the homeowners might want to consider putting retractable blinds in the windows above the loft and regular blinds in the front room windows and the dining room windows to allow renters to keep the home cool in the heat of the day and also keep the sun out of your eyes during dinner.
  
  Another suggestion for the homeowners would be not to have every single cupboard packed with pots, pans, bowls, etc. (You probably noticed when you came to clean that we reaarranged a couple of the kitchen cupboards so we could store our food supplies.)

  We just wanted to say thank you so much for letting us stay in this wonderful vacation home. It was the perfect location and scenery for us. It meet up to all our needs and our kids needs. We hope that we will be able to make another trip back to Oregon soon. We appreciate everything you all did for us. It will always be a memorable place for us. One main reason is because my husband and I renewed our wedding vows right behind this vacation home area on the bike trails and the Deschutes river.
  Thanks for everything and miss you all.
