The verdict
Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.
Riverhouse Lodge provides lodge-style accommodations set right along the Deschutes River in Bend. Guests consistently appreciate the large rooms with river-view balconies, comfortable beds, and attentive staff. However, the property falls short on in-room convenience by placing microwaves outside the buildings rather than inside the rooms. 41

- “Jackie served us at breakfast, and she was wonderful.” 1
- “Good selection of food at the Currents lounge.” 1
- “The staff, the rooms, the restaurant, the Deschutes river are all excellent.” 1
- “Ps... the bar/lounge/dining is top notch!” 1
- “The restaurant and staff were all top notch!! You should sell your home made potato chips they were amazing!” 1
- “The restaurant and staff were all top notch!!” 1
- “While the Currents restaurant is still a work in progress, we suggest a drink and perhaps an appetizer on this lovely patio overlooking the Deschutes.” 4
- “Start your stay with a nourishing, sensory feast at the Currents Restaurant and Lounge. The open layout and stylish design embody the best of the Northwest with warm wood accents, floor-to-ceiling windows, and scenic river views from inside and out on the patio.” 9
- “The chef puts a creative twist on comfort food and Continental fare dishes. The dishes were reasonably priced (definitely reasonable compared to LA standards) and delicious.” 3
- “Among the dinner entrees, the succulent Grassfed Northwest Beef Meatloaf served with a hint of spicy tomato-cayenne glaze and flavorful Shrimp and Smoked Salmon Bucatini enhanced with preserved lemon cream, confit tomatoes, capers, spinach and aged parmesan were big hits.” 9
- “We recently stayed at the Riverhouse on the Deschutes in a Superior King Guestroom. Our spacious room, which overlooked the river, offered an ample outdoor balcony to enjoy the piney view and the sounds of the rushing water.” 4
- “The good-sized refrigerator came with a small freezer and, in the morning, we enjoyed the Kuerig coffee maker.” 4
- “While we didn't take advantage of it, there's an ironing board and iron in every room. We would have appreciated a safe, but it's likely most visitors are on vacation rather than business and don't really care.” 4
- “The only thing I would modify is to remove the microwaves that are located on the outside of the buildings into every room.” 1
- “The beds were very comfortable. It was so nice to come into a nice air conditioned room too! Most of the time the rooms are hot and we have to try to cool them down before bed.” 1
- “The room featured an attractive river rock fireplace (with Dura-flame logs), a comfy King bed, writing desk with data ports, a couch with hide-a-bed, coffee table, two upholstered chairs, a reading light, and 47-inch, flat-screen TV with free HBO movie channels.” 4
- “the bar/lounge/dining is top notch! We had a River View room; it was amazing.” 1
- “The room was very neat and clean with updated modern decor.” 1
- “My room in the Riverhouse was comfortable and very spacious. The room included a living area and a sizeable amount of space right in front of the built-in fireplace.” 3
