Overview

Families will be close to everything when staying at The Riverhouse. Situated along the Deschutes Rivers, this hotel makes families feel like they are in a secluded part of nature, far away from everything — when in reality, downtown Bend and the Old Mill District are less than eight minutes away. Scenic hiking and biking trails are less than 10 minutes away and skiing at Mount Bachelor is about 30 minutes away.

Kids will love the indoor and outdoor pools, and the newly renovated onsite restaurant is superb. The outdoor riverside patio at the restaurant is open year-round and offers guests excellent views of the river and fire pits and heat lamps in the colder months.

The guestrooms feature a mini-fridge, fireplace and free Wi-Fi, along with balconies overlooking the Deschutes River. The Riverhouse gives guests the feeling of seclusion with the convenience of being only minutes from everything, and is a great choice for families visiting Bend.

Reviews

Wonderful location and stay

by Marty K

As in the name, this hotel runs right along the Deschutes River. Be sure to ask for a room on the river as more than half of the room are on the parking lot. We had one of the river front rooms. In the afternoon and morning, inspite of November cool weather, we walked along the river and enjoyed our morning coffee/tea in the chairs on the patio. The rooms are large and very comfortable. We did not take advantage of the restaurant or bar, but they looked very nice. The pool complex also looked great.

Great stay!

by lagrngrl

At check-in we were warmly greeted and given our room. We stayed on the second floor in a riverside room. The room was large, clean and comfortable. Sitting on our balcony and enjoying the river was very peaceful and relaxing. During our stay we were able to visit the restaurant and bar at different times. There are lovely river views from inside the restaurant and bar area. There is outside seating, as well. The service was great. The hotel is conveniently located to shopping and sightseeing. All the staff we encountered during our stay were helpful and eager to answer any questions we had. I highly recommend Riverhouse!
