This is one of my favorite campgrounds in the Cascade Lakes area. It is pretty far from Bend, but…read moreworth it if you have the time. The campground itself is pretty similar to what you might find at the other Hoodoo ran campgrounds, though it always feels a bit cleaner than the rest. The sites come with running water, shared bathrooms, picnic tables, fire rings, and a parking space. You will want to bring plenty of cash for the fees and if you bring more than one vehicle you will need to pay extra. This campground is right next to the lake and has an awesome trail that runs around the perimeter of the lake. There is a boat ramp at the end of the lake and if you just have paddle boards and kayaks you can just launch them right by your campsite. In addition to the boat ramp, there is a very nice shallow swim area. This has a gradual slope that allows the sun to warm the water up pretty fast. Overall I would say that this campground is slightly nicer than the other campgrounds in the Cascades, but the location is what really pull it up to five stars. When I have the time and money, this is my preferred campground.

The best of the best. There is only one TSA checkpoint at this airport since it's small, and it…read morealways goes fast. I've flown out of this airport dozens of times now and I think the most people I've seen going through TSA at the same time as me is MAYBE 10 and even that feels like I'm giving a high number. Oftentimes I will get there with nobody else going through at the same time. You don't feel like you need to rush as much because there's nobody behind you waiting on you and generally you're not stuck waiting behind somebody else. The TSA agents here and really friendly as well and have never ran into any issues. This is as stress-free as you can get at an airport in my experience!

This airport is so small that there is no need for Pre-Check although you still get the perks of…read morekeeping your shoes on and electronics in your bag if you have precheck. Regardless, if you don't, this is not an airport where you have to run to your gate it you're late or run thru Tsa. The people at the TSA are really friendly but still enforce the law. I would honestly say you won't wait more than 15 minutes to get through the TSA. Even if you're running late, there is only one terminal with about 6 gates, so as soon as you exit TSA you're at the gate. Simple, clean, and efficient the way other TSA checks should be.

Stayed here for 2 nights during a side trip to Bend. It is just off Highway 97 and a short walk to…read moredowntown. The lobby is nice, the folks manning the front desk were ok, but the ladies that take care of breakfast are the sweetest and nicest ever. They actually have a pretty decent breakfast with quiche and other items you don't usually see at other locations. They are pet friendly with grassy areas around the hotel. Why the low rating, you ask? The main problem was the shower curtain which barely touches the top of the tub. It defeats the purpose of having one unless you want to flood the bathroom floor. It's an accident/lawsuit waiting to happen. I almost slipped getting out of the shower, not realizing that the floor was very wet. Talked to the front desk about it and they said that someone ordered the wrong size so all their bathrooms all have the same shower curtains. They are apparently still waiting for the correct size to be delivered. It was frustrating. My other gripe was, we were originally assigned a 1st floor room facing the highway on the app, so I called and asked if they could give us a high floor room away from the highway. Got to the hotel, lady assured me they have assigned us a room on the 2nd floor, away from the noise. We get into our room and right outside our window was Highway 97. It's been a long day so I did not bother asking for a different room. It was not bad but it still sucks. This is an ok hotel but with the problems we encountered I don't think we will be staying here again.

Did not explain the differences in price structure from the day rate, the week rate, to the month rate (you have to pay for your electricity.) We ended up opting for the week, and extended it twice. Then extended one more week, but she charged us four consecutive weeks, amounting to almost $800 for our stay of four weeks. In addition, kept reminding us we would have to move to accommodate a previous reservation. Our neighbor RVer was told by her to 'bring a pie' and she would move others around. Not good.

Got to the site, backed the trailer in, unhooked, and finished getting last minute supplies. I have camped in a number of fairground rv parks and this was one of the better ones by far. Only real complaint is wifi password didn't work (wait - camping and wifi? Will wonders never cease.) Overall I was happy with this place. Cheaper than a lot of other rv parks and better as well. Oh yeah, Prineville is home of Les Schwab world headquarters, among other things.

Continue riding 5-10-XX more miles filling up your passion bucket in the natural wonders following and flowing with the Deschutes River.

Many feel the pace only the river knows - as I did flow along by mountain bike!

Steve came out and met us in the back yard with a cute couple of pups, and our dog had such a good time playing that I think he thought it was the best vacation ever. I laughed so hard watching them play, I wished I had caught it on film because it was so funny. The house is an easy walk to Downtown Bend. It's off in a neighborhood, so you feel like you're getting a real feel for what it is like to live in the area. There were two bathrooms, one with a claw foot tub, and I had an excellent bath. The other bath had an amazing walk in shower. I fell in love with the creative, and thoughtful design of the spaces and Steve was generous with his time and showed me another space in the triplex. Such creative design, it was just fun to hang out in the house. Bend is surrounded by incredible natural beauty, so we went hiking every day. The hot tub at the end of the day was perfect. The kitchen is set up fully so, it would be easy to cook though we didn't since Bend is filled with great restaurants. Both Alex and Steve are great hosts. This place is amazing and I would highly recommend choosing to stay at one of the Enchanted Dwellings, I know we will be back on our next trip to Bend.

As of June 2019, I checked Yelp reviews for "bug" and this motel had no mention of bed bugs, which…read moreis a priority for me. That's the only reason they scored an extra star. Maybe there are no bedbugs because they left out the open, unsecured windows I passed or killed themselves because the smoky, non-smoking rooms are depressing, with fuzzy TVs. Good points: the bed was comfortable, the AC worked, the water was hot, and the towels were rectangular. And, lucky for us it was quiet (Monday night). However, it felt like I was being cased when I unloaded the car. Worse was the confused guy in the incense-filled closet-sized lobby who checked me in. He asked me EIGHT TIMES if it was for one night to the point I grabbed the chained-up pen and wrote "1 NIGHT" in all caps on my arm. I recommend bringing a Sharpie.
