About this property

Stay 2 nights get the 3rd FREE! Bring the Dogs! Free tickets to Mt. Bachelor!

Whispering Willow Lodge is protected with 3 outdoor security cameras.

The beautiful & accommodating Whispering Willow Lodge is a country home located just 6 minutes South of Sunriver Resort. The home boasts 4,200 sqft. on 3 levels of spacious, comfortable living.

The lodge has hardwood flooring throughout common areas as well as stamped concrete, a triple car garage and 2 fireplaces! Featuring a beautiful kitchen with granite countertops, alder cabinets and stainless-steel appliances. *The home does run on well water and has a higher mineral/iron content. (There is an extensive water filtration system under the house and additional filters at the kitchen sink and refrigerator dispenser.)
Just off the kitchen is a social BBQ deck with seating and stairs or a slide leading to the back yard. There is a formal dining room and breakfast nook to share meals and stories. Enjoy multiple breath-taking views of Mt. Bachelor with your family and friends while relaxing by one of two hand crafted, stone wrapped wood burning fireplaces. The main great room provides a warm inviting space with large, vaulted tongue & groove pine wood ceilings with views of Mt Bachelor.

Whispering Willow Lodge can easily sleep 15 people comfortably with many more options. The master bedroom has a King size bed, TV, private toilet room, granite countertops with double sinks and a slate tile oversized shower with bench.

The upper level of the house provides 2 bedrooms connected by a balcony bridge with Mt. Bachelor views. Both bedrooms have queen size beds with plenty of additional space in each room. In addition, the upper level has a large full bath, granite countertops with double sinks. There is also a comfy sleeping nook with twin size bunk beds.

To complete the upper level is the 800 sq. foot bonus room. Featuring a 65” flat screen TV, 4 love seat couches, an overstuffed chair & ottoman, a ping pong table and a wet bar with granite countertops & mini fridge. Rain or shine you can watch the big game or snuggle in with a great movie.

The lower level of Whispering Willow Lodge boasts a large living space which includes a family room, wood burning fireplace and stamped concrete flooring. All lower-level rooms have direct access to the sprawling back yard. The main bedroom has a cozy King size bed with ample closet space. The bathroom is just as great as the rest, featuring granite countertops a full bath/shower wrapped with slate stone. The 2nd lower-level bedroom includes a pleasant King size bed and a bunk bed with a twin upper and full-size lower bunk. There is plenty of room for everybody!

The outdoor setting of Whispering Willow Lodge has a 6' cedar fence on three sides of the property to provide a private vacation free from noise. The driveway is very large and can accommodate many vehicles, snowmobiles, boats, RV's or toy trailers. The sprawling grassy back yard provides ample space for fun and games. The NATURAL landscape leading you down to the river makes for a true nature experience, so keep your eye out for wildlife! If you wish to set up tents, there are endless options down along the river. If being close to the house is more desirable there are “rough" areas on the firepit side of the backyard with plenty of space to set up “camp.” (Please do not set up tents on the manicured grass)

The yard also features a paver fire pit with hand crafted stone seating. This allows for ample seating so the entertainment can carry on into the evening. There is also a bubbling hot tub to relax in. Just imagine, watching the sun set over Mt. Bachelor after your day of exploring all that Central Oregon has to offer.

In the summer months Whispering Willow Lodge has private river access right out of the backyard! About 40 yards from the back door just across the foot bridge, thru a grassy clearing you will find several hundred feet of untouched NATURAL private riverbank, summertime fun in the Little Deschutes. So, bring your chairs, floaties, Canoes, Kayaks, Paddle Boards & Fishing Poles! You can float the slow moving lazy Little Deschutes River for hours if you wish. It's a great way to spend the afternoon relaxing with your family and friends! It's one of our favorite family summertime activities! There is also plenty of exploring for the kids, while the adults relax and enjoy the surroundings.

Whispering Willow Lodge is just 6 minutes to the completely renovated World Renowned Sunriver Village & Resort. Enjoy shopping, dining, golf, fishing, ice skating, swimming, horseback riding, miles of bike paths & plenty of outdoor adventure! Spend your day with the family swimming or sledding at the SHARC facilities. Golfers! Come golf on one of Sunriver's jeweled courses. Another option is to explore any of the amazing courses around Central Oregon. Quail Run public course is less than 10 minutes from the house. Or go explore the many Cascade High Lakes or any of the High Desert Cascade Mountains.

••• Please note this home does run on well water and has a higher mineral/iron content. There is an extensive water filtration system under the house and additional filters at the kitchen sink and refrigerator dispenser. The water is fine to drink.

A+

The house was better than advertised, and bigger than the pictures suggested. Plenty of space for our family vacation (7 adults, 6 kids). Everyone was able to gather together in the main room/kitchen and also had their own space upstairs or downstairs. Great yard, awesome view. The house was located conveniently within 30 mins of Bend as well as many outdoor activities. The water issue was clearly stated in the property description, and that was our only complaint. So we didn’t drink the water, and just bought some bottled water and made it work. We would 100% visit again in the future.

Beautiful place to have a small wedding

We just finished our stay at the Whispering Willow Lodge and we had the greatest time spending the weekend with close family and friends. We even got the opportunity to have our small, intimate, 40 person wedding and we truly couldn’t have picked a better place to have the wedding of our dreams! Inside the house and the surrounding property was PERFECT for us to all spread out and be able to spend time together. Vanessa, the property manager, was so great at responding and answering questions in a timely manner for the past year that I have been planning our wedding. We were able to rent items from her which was tremendously helpful seeing that this was a destination wedding. We hope to bring our future children back to this incredible house one day. This VRBO will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

Family Reunion

Roomy 5 BR with great access to the Little Deshutes River. Accommodated 13 people with enough privacy throughout 3 levels. Only drawbacks were: the hot tub was too cool and the water too low to use (also very old), sprinklers went on around 9: 45 am and we had to time our walk to the dock between the moving rain birds, and no foil or film wrap in an otherwise well equipped kitchen.

Perfect for our large family

Vanessa's property at Three Rivers was perfect for our large family's annual gathering. Beautiful views and river access, large lawns for games and running the dogs (and water gun wars) and private & quiet spaces for reading and visiting. Best of all, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook and feed everyone. We definitely hope to come back in the future.

Family reunion At Weeping Willow Lodge

This property has been the best we havehad in our 8 years of family reunions. It is almost perfect for6 adults,3 teens, one child and 3 dogs! Huge fenced yard,well stocked kitchen and plenty of room for get togethers/ games or just some isolation. That said, for the price, there should be a few more amenities...hammock and a couple of kayaks would be fantastic. We plan to return next year!

Big house which fit our family of 12 very nicely! First few days were a bit colder than we expected but enjoyed visiting the many local sites! Last few days were a lot warmer and the kids (and adults) enjoyed floating the Little Duschutes! ! Great family time!

Perfect Home Away from Home

Our extended family spent Christmas in this lovely home! It was a perfect setting for our family of 11 - everyone had plenty of space to play separately or together. We were able to get 11 adults around 1 kitchen table and there was another table in the kitchen for 4 more - which we had designated as the “jigsaw puzzle table”. There are 3 living rooms to satisfy everyone for games, tv programs or conversation. Loved the 3 car garage to house vehicles and the kitchen is very well stocked regarding cooking utensils, pot/pans, plates etc. Beds were comfortable and there was climate control on each level.Ten minute drive to Sunriver Village for ice skating or shopping. Plenty of room to store your ski gear at the house too! Will definitely return this summer!

Absolutely beautiful

This house and the property were amazing. The kids loved the yard, the river, the pingpong table and the three year old couldn't get enough of the Foos Ball. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, appliances, herbs and spices. There was so much room the older kids could have their own bedrooms. We rented this so our kids and grandkids could attend a family wedding with us. We only had the weekend but wished we'd booked the space for longer. Would love to return, especially earlier in the year so we could use the fire pit.

We are hooked on this property for vacation.

This was our second time staying at this property and it was even better than the first time. The kitchen is VERY well stocked and we really enjoyed cooking in it. The deck at the river made it easy to get in and out. There are definitely enough places in the house for everyone to hang out together. The lawn is spectacular and the location is perfect. The last time we went we hardly left the property because we enjoyed it there so much - the same thing happened this time. I only wish we would have booked it for longer. I can't recommend this house enough.

Wispering Willow Lodge

As a whole, we were very pleased with the location and layout of the property. It bedrooms and baths suited our needs quite well with 6 adults, two teens and one infant. The kitchen, while fairly small for a large group was very workable and very well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, silverware, and kitchen tools needed for cooking, grilling, etc. On the downside, the hot tub was never hot and given the temperature outside that was probably good, but it should have been hotter than just luke warm. The propane tank ran out on our last night and have to believe that it was not full to start. Next, the dishwasher would not properly dissolve the "pods" provided so we had to cut them open and extract the powder to get dishes clean. Suggest you convert to powder! Lastly, the host never had personnel contact or called to see if there was anything we needed. We did get a text about a fire that was close by, but that was all. I don't want to be picky because Vanessa was great when I had questions when making the reservations and after, but it would have been nice to have touched bases. All in all, it was great and we plan on tryiing to reserve again for next year!!

Bend weekend trip

House was large and had plenty of space for entertaining. House might be on a well because the water smelled a little odd. Also, this is out of their control, but the mosquitos were VERY BAD. We didn't really even go outside because when you stepped out back they were everywhere. Advice, bring a lot of bug spray. House and owner were great though.

July 4th family gathering

The property is beautiful and a perfect place for family and friends to gather. The location is private yet close to local attractions. We experienced some issues with the bbq not working properly. Also, basement toilet would not flush very good. There was damage (broken) to a ceiling light fixture in the bonus room upstairs. Grandchildren threw a pillow that hit the light, causing breakage. Let me know how to resolve the issue. Overall, we had an awesome gathering and hoping to be there again in the future. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy the beautiful home.
