Whether you are a local or a visitor to Central Oregon, it’s a treat to go to the Sunriver Resort lodge for a drink or a meal. Built in 1969, the iconic building has been updated over the years, but the bones of the beautiful structure remain the same. Head up the stairs to the Twisted River Tavern—the bar offers great westerly views of the winter sky. After a day of hitting the slopes, trekking trails or sledding down hills, warm up with a hot drink in front of the tavern’s large rock fireplace. Try the S’mores Hot Cocoa—it’s a grown-up take on the favorite childhood treat. Steaming hot cocoa is poured over housemade marshmallow-infused vodka and hazelnut liqueur. Garnished with whipped cream and a sprinkle of graham cracker dust, it’s a perfect drink to celebrate the winter holiday season. Just twenty minutes from Mt. Bachelor and even closer to good snowshoeing and cross-country skiing trails, the cozy lodge at Sunriver Resort is an ideal spot to recharge after a day outside, and to plan your next adventure.
