Sunriver Resort Traditions - Over Christmas

We are spending Christmas at Sunriver Resort. All the reviews I%26#39;ve read have been during the summer. Has anyone stayed there during the winter months. What%26#39;s it like? Any tips on things to do?

Sunriver Resort Traditions - Over Christmas

I haven%26#39;t been in December, but late January/early February were absolutely beautiful. They have a fabulous new spa/fitness center and the lodge has a great bar/restuarant with a roaring fireplace. The area (Sunriver/Bend) also has a quite a few winter recreation options. Bend has a cute downtown with lots of shops, restaurants. Sisters (west of Sunriver/Bend) is quaint and worth the trip if you are into boutiques and antique stores.

Besides the obvious winter sports around Mt. Bachelor, you can get a dog sled ride. Sunriver has a covered outdoor skating rink in its Mall area. Some other things to do in and around Sunriver include going to the Nature Center %26amp; Observatory. On December 26th they%26#39;ll have their annual bird count. There is a family Christmas concert in Sunriver on Dec 23rd. The High Desert Museum is not far away and they always have cool things going on. On Dec 21st, they have a Wild Cooking class, and every day they have exibits and presentations that include their collection of wild animals from Central Oregon. We stayed in Sunriver a couple of winters ago and we really enjoyed taking advantage of the many bike/walking trails. When you%26#39;re bundled up properly for the cold, it can be invigorating and it is quite beautiful. Bend is not far away for shopping , excellent restaurants, theater and other activities. You%26#39;ll find plenty to do - enjoy your holiday!

I think you can still go iceskating there. If the condo or home you are staying in has bikes, you can ride them around if you don%26#39;t mind the cold. Hopefully, there is snow on the ground when you get there. You can also drive into Bend for shopping but there is some neat shopping in Sunriver. Again, there is skiing at Bachelor.
