The Mckenzie Bridge area has a lot to offer outdoor enthusiasts with the McKenzie River Trail starting about a mile from our McKenzie Bridge Lodging.  The McKenzie River Trail is a great way to explore the McKenzie River by both mountain bike and hiking.   Maps for both McKenzie River mountain biking and McKenzie River hiking trails can be obtained from the McKenzie River Bridge Forest Service.
Besides our McKenzie River accommodation near the McKenzie Bridge, there are quite a few other McKenzie Bridge Lodging and Accommodation options.  These include the Horse Creek Lodge, Caddisfly Resort and the Cedar wood Cabins.  There are also McKenzie River lodging and accommodation options further from McKenzie Bridge like Harbicks Country Inn, McKenzie River Cabins, Inn at the McKenzie River, McKenzie Riverside Cottages and the McKenzie River Cottages.

Bend's biggest winter event is just weeks away.  The snow-centric events will be bigger than ever, with a massive, re-designed rail jam, snow and ice sculptures, more artisan fire pits than ever before, the Snow Warriors Race, and all the live music, food, and family activities you love!

Downtown Bend Vacation Rentals only has 2 properties available that weekend so we are revving up the renovations to try and have Skyliner and Tumalo ready for guests!!   If you are looking to book now, Parkview and Summit are still available.  

Linking the east and west side of the Deschutes River Trail at First Street Rapids Park in Bend, Oregon; the footbridge opened in early June 2013.  Guests of our Downtown Condos now have direct access to the gorgeous Deschutes River Trail from the property.  Simply follow the parking lot up the hill towards the last of the two red Bend Riverside Motel buildings.  The parking lot will make a steep incline.  Follow the incline down the hill and trail access will be at the very bottom.  An alternative route is to jump on the trail at Pioneer Park.  Head north (opposite direction of downtown) and the cross the bridge.  Nature awaits!

Hello to all our Thanksgiving travelers!  While you are most likely staying with us to enjoy time with family or friends, here are some things to check out while you are in town:

• Take advantage of our full-sized kitchens and drop in to The Village Baker on the westside to grab some take-and-bake pumpkin pies. Delish! and they'll make your condo smell amazing! They are closed on Thanksgiving Day so make sure you drop in the day before.
• Mt. Bachelor opens on thanksgiving weekend! Did you bring your ski's?
• Remove some of the Thanksgiving feast guilt by joining the The Bend Turkey Trot!  It's a 5k or 10k run/walk that benefits the hungry.  Feel good about helping others and indulging in that second helping. 
  
• Bend's Christmas Tree Lighting happens downtown in Drake park Saturday the 30th at 6:00 pm.

The MOVETO blog has rated Bend the #1 city in Oregon! Followed closely by Sherwood and Beaverton.  Bend's close proximity to skiing and trails was cited as the one of the main reasons it made the top of the list.  Now if only you could find a vacation rental close to Mt. Bachelor... Thankfully our Westside Condo, our vacation rental in Bend's westside, is close to the Cascade Lakes Hwy and comes with your own garage to store your winter gear!   Thanksgiving and Christmas dates are still available!
