Downtown Bend is filled with shops and restaurants. It's a great place to walk around and explore. We love grabbing a beer on the river at Bend Brewing Company and walking through Drake Park.

There are so many great hikes near Bend! Smith Rock State Park (pictured) is 20 minutes from the hotel and the Sisters Wilderness is a 45 minute drive. Erick and I also love walking along the riverfront. Check out Drake or McKay park for paved riverfront walks.

Play a round at River's Edge Golf Course. Let them know you're a Riverhouse guest for a discount.

Erick and I got to go to two concerts at Hayden Homes Amphitheater this year and it is officially one of my favorite venues. It's right on the water so you'll see people in kayaks and paddle boards catching a free show.

Bend is known for its adventures! Try your hand at river surfing, mountain biking, kayaking, paddle boarding, rock climbing and more.

There are so many beautiful things to see in Central Oregon. Gorgeous hot springs, crystal clear lakes, the adorable town of Sisters, the volcanic monument, and Crater Lake National Park are all within a few hours of Bend.
