Riverhouse Lodge

Relaxed Riverside Retreat Just Minutes from Downtown Bend

Modern lodge vibes meet Pacific Northwest charm at Riverhouse Lodge, tucked along the scenic Deschutes River just five minutes from downtown Bend. With a peaceful setting but quick access to the city’s live music venues, this pet-friendly hotel offers the best of both worlds. Guests enjoy spacious rooms with private patios or balconies, a heated pool, on-site dining, and a laid-back, nature-meets-comfort atmosphere.

Why Concert-goers love it

Breakfast is available for those slow, post-concert mornings.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that certain parts of the hotel feel a bit dated, especially compared to more modern boutique options. The layout of the property can be a bit spread out, so be ready for a short walk to reach the pool or restaurant.

The Bottom Line

Riverhouse Lodge is a peaceful, well-equipped home base for concert-goers who want easy access to Bend's music scene without sacrificing comfort or calm.
