Best Lodging In Bend Oregon

History fact – the first Bed & Breakfast in America came about during Colonial Times when people who were traveling relied on the kindness of others to provide a comfortable place and a meal after a hard day of riding atop a horse or driving a wagon. Not much has changed. If you don’t mind sharing your lodging space with your host and sometimes other guests, staying at a Bend, OR Bed & Breakfast  (often referred to as a B&B), is a great way to gain area knowledge, socialize with others, enjoy a comfortable bed, and a home cooked meal (typically breakfast).

When it comes to Bend area hotels & motels, there are endless options to choose from. Typically motels are a little more budget conscious, and both hotels and motels provide guests with basic comfortable rooms, often available in downtown and higher populous areas. Some motel & hotel lodging offer amenities such as restaurants, pools, concierge, & spas, but by nature these accommodations require sharing communal spaces with lots of other guests. With a wide variety of name brand motels & hotels in Bend, these less personal but often convenient lodging options work best for some guests and vacation plans.

Vacation rentals, now a days often refered to as Airbnbs or VRBOs are the most unique and individual lodging experience a guest can have. Like the homes themselves, they each have their own sense of style, variety of amenities, tailored furnishings, and area access. For many, especially families or groups, a vacation rental in Bend is the most affordable, social, and private way to travel. It also opens the door to genuine destination experiences with local accommodations in otherwise unaccessible neighborhoods and complexes. Live like a local and stay close to the reasons you came to Bend. Have special needs? Want to travel with pets? Need a work station, private hot tub, kid gear, or a local resource that can answer your questions without sharing a living space with you? Vacation rentals offer all that and more, choose a reputable professional vacation rental management company with good reviews and years of service, you won’t be disappointed! 

The resorts in Bend typically offer hotel or suite like accommodations in a more expansive and luxury setting than most other Bend lodging. All though they are known for many inclusive services and amenities like swimming pools, playgrounds, and beautifully manicured grounds, they also typically have a la carte services such as golf, spas, & dining. These resort lodging options typically are both the high end and expensive way to visit Bend.

Want to ditch civilization, cut the cord for a few days on electronics, and head outdoors to connect with nature & sleep under the stars? Bend camping is a great way to do everything outside, and for those who prefer some of Bend’s most affordable lodging and a few less frills we highly recommend it. Camping in Bend ranges from  luxury glamping experiences (glamorous camping), to RV camping in campgrounds, to classic off-the-grid tent camping in the middle of nowhere.
