The second day we were there the smoke detectors went off warn us that they needed batteries. I called the Bennington office and in less than an hour our problem was fixed! Best of all we had to leave early on our last day and I left my bank bag with over $500.00 cash in it beside the bed in the small dresser.When we go home and everything unpacked no money bag.I sent a text that next morning to the housecleaning crew and asked them to check and see if was there. I left them all my information and they called me and said it was there and they put it in the mail for me. I offered them $100.00 to buy some pizzas for the crew and they said they appreciated the offer but couldn't do that. My happiness is all they needed. It is so heart felt to know there are still honest people in America. Our next trip down there I will look the crew ! Thank you for your honesty. jon Jennings

On a recent trip to Bend, the event I attended was hosted at the Sunriver Resort and what a…read morebeautiful spot to spend some time! It was at the tail end of winter, with cold nights and wet days. Rooms have gas fireplaces, with outdoor seating and porches for warmer weather. Checkin was great in the main lodge. They had many friendly employees. There's a bar and restaurant here that I didn't have time to visit! The grounds have paved trails all over, with quick walks or bike rides to restaurants, bars, and outdoor activities. They have a free shuttle that can get you around to places quicker too! My room was gorgeous, with high ceilings, wood, and soft decor. The bathroom was very modern and comfortable. Worth the cost. Another place I really wanted to visit was the indoor heated pool area that looked amazing. Maybe next time! For the event we had catered amazing meals of local produce and meats, so many flavorful items. The event spaces all have a lodge feel to them as well, comfortable. I highly recommend staying here for a few days if you're in the area.

I had to name the dude, he stares at me the entire time I'm in the room, especially with him over the bed. Heated bathroom floor tiles? Check. Amazing craftsmanship? Check. The kitchen here makes you want to drool. The upstairs has two cute beds built into the wall with cabinets separating them and curtains to pull over. I would have loved those as a kid! The living area is great and the couch/chairs are very comfortable for lounging. The mud room is perfect as we definitely came with weathered bottom halves from the days activities. The garage has a dog door going out back into a fenced off kennel run with a ramp and house. A German Shepherd could fit through just fine. The garage is also loaded with bikes, sports balls, games, skis and an extra fridge. There are TVs in every room, which is great if multiple families are staying here, to keep kids entertained if needed, outside of everything else there is to do. To be honest, we all only watched the Super Bowl 49 and then never turned the TVs on again. Oh and the tub upstairs is huge and magical. The only cons I could mention is the retreat being oddly situated off the road, so some road noise is heard from inside, which is funny to hear when looking out onto nature. Lastly, if the hot water is glacial, check the circuit breakers. They tripped on us and we didn't know the cause. Only took a few hours for the tanks to be warmed up. All-in-all ... This place is gorgeous and I would love to stay here again. The cabin is by a large air field so it is secluded a bit from everything but the road noise. (Though I just wondered how often it's used, it's winter so we've only heard one plan so far). The Village is about 5 minutes away and downtown Bend is 30 minutes. Bachelor Ski Area is also 30 minutes from here and a pretty direct route. Thanks for having us!!!

The kitchen was well stocked with necessities and all the furniture was comfortable and in good condition. The master bed was incredibly comfortable and the master bath and shower were in excellent condition. The bike and walking path was just a few steps away and about a 20 minute walk right to Fort rock park, and left to Sharc.

We also had multiple thefts of house hold furnishings, kids sporting equipment and kitchen items. When questioned Vacasa leaders said not our deal. The house was pet free but guests showed up with pets and left crap in the back yard. Again, not their deal and not follow up with the guests. Then we had a group of witches that rented the house and pissed in various places throughout the house and dripped hot wax during their freaky shit. The area manager called me and was upset and said he'd replace all the bedding and have the house cleaned. Unfortunately I had to pressure wash the compost deck for hours to remove all the wax and get things back to normal. Throughout the two years we used Vacasa as our short term rental management company and it was a constant shit-show. I even had to track the renters and the payment system because I was shorted payments and charged for replacement bedding I didn't need. We provided all towels and bedding but were charged for items that were fraudulently billed. We finally removed Vacasa and cut out the madness and dirt-bag who want to trash our property.

Please read below (4th paragraph is most important). Please avoid an extremely stressful experience and possible scam with Clark & Bridget Norske and their rental company Sunriver Vacation Properties ( www.SunriverRentals.net and www.KamaoleSandsCondo.net ). Without going into all the details of our experience with them, I will mention the most notable and important pieces of information you will want to know before considering doing business with Clark and Bridget. A group of mine and my husband's friends rented a Sunriver home from them over this last winter (2014) for a few days. It seemed too good to be true with the price, size, and beauty of the home that was advertised (but the home ended up letting us down when we got there). First, they were not easy to make reservations with (charged us the wrong amount). We arrived during the coldest part of the winter (it was -20 degrees while we were in Sunriver). They did not winterize their home and we unfortunately got blamed and charged for their oversight. Both my husband and I came down with a very severe case of the flu while we were there and ended up having to take it very easy (watch movies, sleep, play games mostly) with our friends. Because it was so cold during our stay, we needed to chop wood for a fire to heat the home, but other than that, we did not go outside except to use the hot tub one night. We were very respectful of their property and treated it with care, leaving it cleaner than how we found it and even going above and beyond their "Exit" protocol. We paid for a cleaning service, but left the house with minimal clean up work to be done (took out all garbages, did all dishes, swept, vacuumed, started a load of laundry) regardless of being so sick. I have worked at a church for over 7 years and my husband is a firefighter - we take care of other people's properties and our friends are respectful and careful as well. We even tried calling Clark when we opened the hot tub and noticed that it was not in the best of condition (there was a broken piece that we did not want to get blamed for and we noticed a paper poster in their garage looked like it had been ruined), but none of their phone numbers were correctly listed, even the emergency line. One week after our stay I received a VERY disturbing email from Clark accusing me and my group of leaving their rental home a complete mess. Among other things, he accused us of using a knife to slash a poster in their garage, turning their outside water on and leaving it running (on purpose) and making a mess of their house. Because of this, they charged my credit card for $300 right away WITHOUT permission to do so. I had to block him from my credit card, but could not get the money back. His accusations were 100% false and we wondered if he was trying to scam us for extra Christmas money possibly? He threatened to get his lawyer involved right away and to sue us for additional charges, so we sought legal advice as well. Our lawyer went on to let us know that what Clark and his wife were doing was completely illegal and that they were, in his words, "crazy." Clark sent an email to my employer along with pictures of his "evidence" letting them know what kind of bad employee he thought I must be. He also called my work and tried leaving a voicemail for our head pastor to let him know what kind of bad person I am (that I slashed his poster, left his water on, and drank too much alcohol while on vacation). He also had his wife call a few days later trying to contact my boss to smear my name. They threatened to put my name on a "Never rent to again" list for VRBO and all of Sunriver (does that even exist?). He did all of this without once calling me to talk about the situation. He immediately accused me and took VERY harsh action. Needless to say, it was a terrible experience, a VERY expensive experience (and right before Christmas)...please never rent from them! I was so disturbed by this experience that it has scared me to rent from other people ever since. My husband, friends, and I are so confused and shocked at how Clark and Bridget choose to treat their guests. It was completely un-called for and bizarre. There are far better homes to rent and from people who will treat you with respect and not harass you or take your money without due cause. Avoid these people and their homes at all costs if you don't want to get sued for no reason while trying to take a peaceful vacation.
