  Carl P from Los Angeles, CA recommends this vacation rental

  How they keep it so clean and provide so much in good condition is beyond me, I cant stress that enough. I have worked with the public for years, say no more.
  From the start, booking the house to getting in was one off the best experiences I have had for a long time. Hotels can not compare with this.
  I was so happy there and did not want to leave. Living amongst the trees is so relaxing.
  All the people there are so nice and helpful, good restaurants abound.
  See you soon as will my friends, many thanks.

  We had such a great time at this house. The pics of the upstairs bathroom don't do it justice. It's super cute and you can shower in it as it has a removeable shower nozzle. The private deck was also awesome. It had so much room! We had such a great stay. The location is amazing. We walked to the village and across the street to SHARC. We can't wait to come back!

  The location of this property was just perfect. So close to everything. Right across the road from SHARC. Only problem was that it was very noisy at nightime. Didn't get a full nights sleep the entire stay due to animal noises in the wall but I believe the rental company were going to fix it asap. Will absolutely stay there again. Was very well equipped. Enjoy!

  Leah L from Sherwood, OR does not recommend this vacation rental.

  I wasn't very diligent about reviewing all the pictures, but if you do, please keep in mind that the children (bunk beds for 3) get the bedroom with the actual walls and the big bathroom with a shower and the adults get the bed upstairs in an open loft with no wall and a small bath with no shower. If you've got little ones, it's not a great set-up. I rent from Discover Sunriver several times per year and this is the first time I thought it was overpriced and didn't meet my expectations, even with the third night free. The house was just uncomfortable because of fact of the adults sleeping on basically a balcony with room dividers, it was very hot up there (and if we turned the heat off it was freezing downstairs), and it's a bummer not to have a close shower or any privacy. Why go on vacation if you have to sleep in a living room? I could do that at home.

  • Manager Responded on 1/26/2012

    Leah it sounds like you weren't given all the information for this home. I appreciate your giving us your thoughts and next time we'll find something that will work better for you.

  My SO and I had a great stay. The home was pleasant, and a guest we had for one night enjoyed the place as well. Though he wasn't a fan of the bed in the guest room.
  
  One suggestion: trade the deer head in for another of the nice photos or other wall hangings.

  The bed upstairs was soft and ended up shaped like a tea cup by morning. My husband and I always rolled into the middle of the mattress. Kitchen could have had more staples like salt, pepper, oil, sugar, flour, foil, sandwich bags, etc.

  a guest from Eugene, Or recommends this vacation rental

  First off, had a great stay in a great house, no substantial complaints. The house is just as nice as it looks in the photos, cozy and welcoming. Service at the office for check in/out was very fast and friendly, as good or better than anywhere I have ever stayed.
  
  Couple of minor quibbles:
  1. Never did get e-mail confirmation of my on-line reservation, had to call in. I will say again that the in-person service was excellent, both on the phone and at the office.
  
  2. Hot tub was over chlorinated. Badly.
  
  All in all I give this a 9.5 out of 10. We spent the drive home planning our next visit.

  The Queen bed was uncomfortable. The living room furniture was very dusty!!!! Need to be beaten and then cleaned. Upstairs was too hot! Needs air conditioning.

  • Manager Responded on 7/23/2010

    Thanks for your comments Dawn. Based on the comments from other guests most of which were glowing, I can only guess that we missed listening to your personal tastes and didn't match those with your accomodations. We'll do better next time . No excuse on the dust upholstered furniture has been professionally cleaned. Update! The owner purchased a new mattress for upstairs! 9/16/11

  This property was excellent for our family of five. We stayed here for a week and it was wonderful. A bright and cheerful house--great quilts! The large enclosed deck was nice. A few minor suggestions: the 2 bikes could use a little TLC, tightening the seats, adjusting brakes, etc., and the wireless internet router had to be unplugged and replugged in several times to re-establish a connection. Also, you can only take a shower in the downstairs bathroom, but we got used to that. Overall, a great little house. I'm guessing we will return!

  When arrived found 3 live bugs on the carpet flooring. Need to spray more often. Hot tub was a great plus. Used bathroom downstairs because the one on the second floor too small. Overall we enjoyed sunriver but found most units outdated.

  • Manager Responded on 6/10/2009

    The area you stayed in was one of the first areas developed in Sunriver in the early 70's. The home you stayed in is of an earlier generation and we think it has a whole lot of character.The owners of this home take a tremendous amount of pride in the property and want to make sure it maintains its ambiance while at the same time meets the needs of todays travelers. To that end the baths and kitchen were outfitted with new counter tops and flooring in the past year. The deck was expanded and totally redone in the last 12 months as well. Perhaps you're looking for more contemporary properties? If so we can help.

  Victor K from Rainer, Or recommends this vacation rental

  Betty and I love coming to #12 Otter Lane and always have a wonderful time. I liked the renovations that have been made to the property, such as new jacuzzi hot tub on the deck, the new dining room table and re-tiled counter-top. The bed upstairs is comfy and plenty of firewood for the wood stove. The only thing I see that is being neglected is the overall dusting of the light fixtures (cobwebs hanging all over the place) as well as the dusting of the wood venetian blinds. The toilet upstairs makes a leaky sound from the valve in the tank. This could be costing the home owner $$ in water costs as well as wasting water. One last thing concerning the lighting in the house and on the property, please consider getting energy saving light bulbs. Doing this will save on the lighting bill for the house as well as reduce demand from the power grid. P.S., the screen in the upstairs window is pulled out on the deck side of the house. P.S.S., the tree debris on the deck has potential to track into the tub if a guest walked out from the house to the tub without sandals. I hope this helps and mind you these are not complaints.

  Frederica A from Trinidad, CA recommends this vacation rental

  Their was no thermostat or explanation how to regulate the heat in the overly warm house, so we were forced to open the windows. A call to the rental management office fixed this, but we feel that a binder with helpful information in the house would be a good idea. Also, the free long distance calling is a nice amenity, but I was suddenly cutoff in the middle of a conversation with virtually no warning when I used up the allotted time. Is there some way of giving warning when you have two minutes left, so that you can terminate your call gracefully?

  • Manager Responded on 3/6/2009

    There shouldn't have been a cutoff time at all. I'll contact the company that provides the phone and let them know what happened. Thanks for letting us know and hope to see you again soon. Discover Sunriiver Vacation Rentals

  Loved our stay but wanted to share a couple observations: The refrigerator in this home was very loud...I actually woke up a couple times thinking someone had left the bathroom fan on, speaking of which, there WAS NO fan in the bathroom! =) Just a heater. Also, the house is pretty dark inside--could use a couple skylights. Lastly, the staff at Discover Sunriver KEPT mispelling my name, causing me to have to call 3 times to request the confirmation email be sent again-it wasn't being received because my name was consistently mispelled in the address, despite my having spelled it over the phone every time. =) That's all. Everything else was great! Thanks.

  • Manager Responded on 11/24/2008

    Sorry about that loud fridge and the name problem. Hopefully the 3rd time was the charm. The owner's of this home recently did some nice upgrades so if you get a chance come see it again. Discover Sunriver Vacation Rentals

  Overall satisfaction:

  Paul E from Star, Id recommends this vacation rental

  Bikes need quick release to adjust seat height (or tools)
  
  Air conditioning would have been nice (but it was unseasonable warm)
  
  Internet was good
  
  Impressed by the complete kitchen (only thing was no cinnamon in the spice rack and I love cinnamon)
  
  I was surprised and happy that we got access to health club and pools at no extra charge.
  
  A few of the dishes look like they came out of the washer with a bit of crude that wasn't caught
