Where to stay while exploring around Bend

Bend is one of Oregon’s best jumping off points for natural adventures, whether you’re skiing Mount Bachelor, climbing South Sister or biking around the high desert. But where should you stay while you’re there? On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest we dive into our favorite places to sleep in Bend, including boutique motels, a local hostel and a McMenamins with an ornate soaking pool. There are obviously many more lodging options in town. Our list does not get into any Airbnbs, corporate chain hotels or backcountry campsites. There are also many places we simply didn’t get to. But if you can’t figure out where you’re going to sleep after paddling the Deschutes River or taking a brewery tour, these should at least get you started. Here are some highlights from this week’s show: Several boutique motels have added modern design and amenities to refurbished buildings. Bunk+Brew is a European-style hostel with an extremely Bend vibe. Would you sleep in an old Catholic school? What if there was an incredible soaking pool? Tumalo State Park has a year-round campground just a few miles outside of town. Subscribe to Peak Northwest on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or anywhere you listen to podcasts.
