About this property
Pony Express River Retreat - DESCHUTES RIVER/SUN RIVER/MT BACHELOR/BEND
This homes amazing location allows convenient access to ski at Mt. Bachelor (26 miles/30 mins), adventuring in the Cascades, cruising around beautiful Bend (22 miles/25 mins), golf in Sunriver (8 miles/15 mins), or enjoying quality time with friends and family. Pony Express River Retreat is in prime location for all your Bend/Sun River adventures.
Welcome to the Pony Express River Retreat. Our turn-key 3 bed / 2 bath ranch-style (no stairs) house in the lush and scenic River Meadows neighborhood - a quick ten minute drive from Sunriver - is just what your gang needs to relax and recharge after a day of activity and adventure.
And you don't even have to leave to have a great time! At your riverfront home-on-the-range-away-from-home you can sip drinks on the deck under the stars, take a soak in the hot tub, star gaze at the fire pit, cook up rib eyes on the outdoor gas grill, zip around miles of waterfront trails (directly behind the house) on foot or on the two provided bikes, lounge at the community pool, smash it at the pickleball and tennis courts, paddleboard or kayak on the river (there’s a pair of each to share).
There are 3 golf courses within 20 minutes and during the winter access to Mt Bachelor is 20 miles/26 minutes away and Edison Snow Park 12.8 miles/18 minutes away from our River Retreat. After a busy day cozy up on overstuffed couches for a movie night and then nestle into comfortable beds piled high with comfy pillows and blankets.
