Our stay was wonderful! This is a beautiful home with a great layout. It accommodated our large group well. The kitchen was well-stocked with great dishes, plenty of pots and pans, utensils, glassware, and dishes. We enjoyed using the large gas barbecue on the deck. The home is beautifully furnished with a wall of windows that overlooks the golf course. We enjoyed watching the outdoors activities from the large deck and also from the comfortable dining room and living room. There are two family rooms which worked well for us. Our kids loved the big screen T.V! We also liked having five bedrooms and four bathrooms. The location is exceptional. It's quiet on this side of Sun River and we liked the proximity to Benham Falls and the river. We rode bikes every day and enjoyed walking the scenic river loop. The one problem we had was resolved quickly by calling the owner who called a repair man. The only complaint came from the downstairs sleepers who were awakened by the early risers walking around on the hardwood upstairs. I would definately recommend this property to large groups who like lots of comfortable beds, lots of baths, lovely setting, and great location for biking the trails, Benham Falls and walking or hiking. We liked being close to the north grocery store, too!

Hi Ann – we had a fantastic time! I wish we could’ve stayed longer, but we are hoping to return next year! We found the house to be clean, very comfortable and in good order. The tri-level layout of the house is great for big groups so everyone could have some space. The deck with the pretty views was such a nice place to spend time talking or having a drink or dinner. We loved having the BBQ right on the deck and enjoyed a great BBQ’d meal for my parents anniversary. The kids (and adults) thought the hot tub was great fun and a wonderful way to end the day. Having the bikes was such a treat – we rode all over the resort and enjoyed the fact that it stays so much lighter at night, so had some great rides in the evening! It was nice to have the pool passes - the south pool, and in particular the slide for the big kids and the wading pool for the small one, was lots of fun. For activities we really enjoyed rafting down the river, taking a day trip to Mt. Bachelor and riding the chairlift to the peak and checking out the dog sledding, and exploring all of the beautiful lakes and falls in the area. I would highly recommend Five Iron Lodge to any family or bigger group that is looking for a terrific place to stay in Sun River. Please feel free to use any of my comments on the website – I am happy to recommend Five Iron Lodge! guest name: Tracy

The house was absolutely perfect for our needs. Everyone who stayed there agreed it was an amazing house and just what we needed for the weekend. The house was very clean upon our arrival. The beds (even the sofa sleeper) were AMAZINGLY comfortable and the sheets were nice and soft. This was noted by everyone who stayed; we all slept very well all 4 nights that we were there. Plenty of dishes/silverware/glasses for all was a huge plus as well, I hadn't thought of how necessary this would be until I was cooking 3 meals a day for 15 people! Double coffee pots were a lifesaver. We all agreed that we'd stay at 5 Iron Lodge again, we were very happy.

Hello Ann, We really enjoyed staying at the Five Iron Lodge, it's a perfect place for a family gathering. It had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay for our large group: several areas for separate group activities, and plenty of things to do with the games/movies/hot tub/play equipment you provide. Our group of 13 had plenty of pleasant and very comfortable accommodations, the lodge was equipped with virtually everything needed for a truly relaxing stay. The lodge was spotlessly clean when we arrived and the lodge decor throughout made it a very special place to be for a family holiday. The lodge feeling, snow falling outside the windows, watching the grandkids playing in the snow, and the Christmas season festivities at Sunriver Lodge made it a very special time for all of us. We look forward to a summertime stay to explore all of the warm weather Sunriver activities. Thank you for your clear, excellent, professional communications and responses to our questions, payment information, and your prompt refund of our deposit. The Five Iron Lodge experience was truly enjoyable and unforgettable, we would highly recommend it to others. Thank you, The Sopers The Gavers The Duggins

We love Five Iron Lodge! So much that our family of 14 plan to go back for a third year. We love it, it is a great location, the house is always clean and comfortable. Big and open enough that our grandchildren have plenty to keep them busy. We love hiking and biking and this is a perfect place! Our guys golfed this year and it is perfect for that and then the girls took the next day to go into Bend for shopping. The Childers Family

Ann, We had such a great time at your house! It was a great set-up for our annual trip to Sunriver with 4 families! I had surgery yesterday and am off work and on crutches for 6+ weeks, so it was my last hoorah for a while. Everything was well stocked and the location was perfect. The kids were excited to see a coyote outside the window one morning, and the weather was perfect for skiing, hiking, and a crazy 3 1/2 hour run one of our friends did! We will definitely keep your place in mind for next year's trip! Thanks for everything!

Our 25th wedding anniversary weekend was wonderful. All 6 couples were very comfortable in all 6 sleeping areas. Your house is perfect for a large group. We played foosball and air hockey, enjoyed the hot tub. We had 5 to 6 Deer visit us every night. That was a delight to see them. Friday night we hired a Shuttle from Sun river to take us to The owls nest for drinks and dancing. What a nice service Sun river has to offer. I wanted to take a bike ride on Sunday but we woke up to 5" of snow, That was absolutely beautiful and unexpected. As always the golfing in Bend and Sun river is wonderful. We really enjoyed staying at the 5 iron lodge, It was so comfortable for everyone. I know we will be back someday.... Thank you for having a user friendly web site. It really help me to make a decision on your home. Tammie & Mike Clackamas,Or

So we had a house full of people – 8 adults and 8 kids all under 5. It could have been a disaster, but we had a great time! The house was beautiful and spacious. There was more than enough room for everyone. We all loved the huge dinning table that was well used for some great dinners. The view was fantastic and having the golf course to ski, snowshoe, build snow forts and snowmen on was great. It was a pleasure to walk out the door and be surrounded not only by peace and quiet, but also by acres of what seemed to be our own private snow park. The vacation and house truly exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to come back with the same group in the summer to see a different side of the lodge and Sunriver.

Ann, What a great house! We had a large group and it was absolutely perfect. We decided to stay at the home for all our meals, and the kitchen was SO NICE to cook in! There was PLENTY of counter space and cupboard space to store food. It was just great. The kids had a good time playing downstairs and we had a nice time relaxing in the loft. We all slept so comfortably in the nice beds and were able to each have our own bathroom! The laundry room was so handy, as the kids played outside and in the hot tub. Overall, it was very relaxing and roomy! We are already talking about renting FIVE IRON again and enjoy being in Sunriver. Thank you for the easy transactions and beautiful house. You were all a treat to work with.
