Best Resorts in Oregon

Sitting on 1,800 acres about 160 miles southeast of Portland near Bend, Oregon, Brasada Ranch weaves itself into central Oregon's high desert landscape. Most visitors loved the property's picturesque location, which can be admired from the comfort of their rooms. The main Ranch House contains guest rooms, plus suites with fireplaces and private terraces. The resort's one- to four-bedroom Sage Canyon Cabins feature these perks plus additions such as gourmet kitchens, living rooms and outdoor barbecue stations. Adventurous travelers can explore the grounds while riding one of the ranch's horses at the on-site Equestrian Center, while golfers can take to the fairways of the Brasada Canyons Golf Course. And when it's time to wind down, guests can retreat to Range Restaurant & Bar for local cuisine. 

Surrounded by Deschutes National Forest, the Sunriver Resort caters to the leisure traveler who enjoys the outdoors. Through the concierge, visitors can schedule anything from horseback riding to rafting and rock climbing to mountain biking. Plus, Sunriver boasts an astounding 63 holes of golf. In the winter, hotel guests can take the complimentary shuttle to the base of Mount Bachelor for prime skiing terrain. After a long day of activity, travelers savor their time in the Sage Springs Club & Spa and their meals at any of the six eateries. When they finally retire to their rooms, guests also appreciate the space and cleanliness they find.

Golfers adore the Salishan Resort in peaceful Gleneden Beach, Oregon. With several holes overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the golf course showcases its majestic setting. But guests also appreciate the indoor pool, tennis courts, spa and sizable fitness center. However, not everything is top-notch. Recent visitors say the guest rooms, though sizable and complete with great views, balconies and pillow-top mattresses, are sometimes plagued by noise pollution from the nearby highway. 

Flanking the western edge of Mount Hood National Forest in northern Oregon, about 45 miles east of Portland, The Resort at the Mountain earns praise for its picturesque natural backdrop and its quiet atmosphere. The property boasts numerous opportunities to venture outdoors, including a 27-hole golf course, four tennis courts, volleyball and badminton areas and an outdoor pool. But many guests were content simply admiring the view from the private patios and balconies attached to the guest rooms. Accommodations also feature Simmons Beautyrest beds, rainfall showers and docking stations compatible with both Apple devices and MP3 players. Guests describe the rooms as understated and, despite a few customer service snafus, visitors report pleasant stays. The on-site spa is a big selling point, offering a long list of massages and skin treatments. And after a long day, you can refuel at one of two in-house restaurants.
