Across Central Oregon, several hotels are designed with the adventure-focused traveler in mind—by offering easy access to nearby trails, in-room storage space, and on-site activities that bring the best of the region’s outdoor culture to your doorstep.

One of the most popular stays for adventurous visitors is LOGE Bend, a chic getaway that sits on the way to Mount Bachelor and the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway. Rooms are outfitted with modern amenities (including hammocks) and gear storage, while broader attractions around the property include year-round gear rentals (including snowshoes in winter and mountain bikes, river tubes, and kayaks in summer), bike-tuning stations, a bar area pouring local craft beers, a play area for dogs, fire pits, grills, and more.

In the heart of Bend, is the Campfire Hotel. The renovated boutique hotel lives up to its name with a variety of outdoors-themed design choices that include extra gear storage space in each room, a heated outdoor pool, and a bustling outdoor fire pit.

Whether you’re looking to clean up after a day outdoors or consider working on your tan to be “outdoorsy”, you’ll find no shortage of luxurious resorts in Central Oregon. Best of all, these retreats offer plenty of space to stretch out and bask in the views of nearby Cascade Range peaks.

One of the most historic is Black Butte Ranch, which opened in the early 1970s and helped transform the nearby community of Sisters into a popular year-round destination for visitors from around the world. Black Butte Ranch has kept up with the times by opening a brand-new main lodge in 2023, dishing Pacific Northwest-inspired cuisine with locally sourced ingredients, hosting a pair of championship golf courses, and offering overnight stays that cater to groups of all sizes.

Roughly halfway between Bend and Redmond, surrounded by Central Oregon’s high desert, is Brasada Ranch. The opulent resort boasts Western-themed rooms, indoor and outdoor pools, elegant spa services, horseback rides, one of the state’s top golf courses, and dining options to please every palate.

Enjoy a romantic getaway at resorts, hotels, and even bed-and-breakfasts across Central Oregon.

One of the region’s most lauded destinations for couples is FivePine Lodge and Spa near the western edge of Sisters. The upscale resort hosts lodge rooms and private cabins—including the appropriately named Romance Cabin, which comes with a king-sized pillowtop bed, sunken tub, stone fireplace, and private patio for a quiet stay. An on-site spa offers massage services, a thermal tub, room for relaxation, and more.

Visit and explore Bend from the heart of downtown at the Oxford Hotel. The luxe hotel, one of the best places to stay in Bend, hosts nearly 60 spacious suites outfitted with organic bath products, an on-site sauna and hot tub, valet parking, plush bedding, free loaner cruiser bikes, and even room service for when you’re not quite ready to start the day.

If you’ve zeroed in on your preferred overnight stay and are ready to book, here’s what to know about lodging in Bend, Oregon, and planning your trip to the area.

Know when to book: Some of these lodgings fill up weeks (if not months) in advance at the height of the busy seasons—which in Central Oregon typically means winter weekends (between December and March) and summer weekends (between June and September). If you’re planning a trip for these times, consider booking up to three months out—or up to six months in advance for the widest possible selection of rooms. For a more last-minute getaway, it might not hurt to check Airbnb in Bend, Oregon or VRBO vacation rentals in Bend, Oregon.

Plan around your preferred activities: Are you an avid skier or snowboarder? Try to book a trip between December and April, when most of the region’s ski resorts are most likely open. If you’d rather go paddling, hiking, or mountain biking, plan a trip from June to September—when high-elevation roads are typically accessible, trails are snow-free, and the sun shines almost every day. Fall, meanwhile, is a great time to check out boutique shops across the region—and spring makes a great season to sample Central Oregon’s creative culinary scene in quiet dining rooms or breezy food cart pods.
