Central Oregon Rentals is A+++. We rented five sleds for the Saturday between Christmas and New…read moreYears. The sleds were loaded into a five-place enclosed trailer and ready to go when we arrived at the shop. Michael the owner gave us a thorough run down of the trail systems (I've ridden in Minnesota a lot, but first time in Oregon), a walk through of the sleds, and other general tips. They also had a complete lineup of decent rental equipment, although renting isn't ever has good as having your own gear that you're used to. All of the sleds were quality Ski-Doo long tracks. We had two 850's that rocked the trails and the powder, two 600's for the less experienced riders, and one 900 two-up. Unloading and loading was easy, and it was a short 25 minute drive to the snow park. Great rental experience - would definitely rent again from Central Oregon Rentals. Thoughts about the Deschutes trail system around Mt. Bachelor: 1. We rode on what had to have been one of the busiest days of the year - bad planning on our part. By the time we got to the Wanoga sno-park the parking lot was full, but it really wasn't full: they could have fit at least 1/3 more rigs if folks would learn how to park. There was literally 10' between some rigs. We ended up parking along one of the roadways inside the snow park which worked. If you could beat the mountain traffic and make it higher up it would be better. See #2 below. 2. The trails leading up to the Mt. Bachelor - especially Trail 5 - were AWFUL. So many riders chewing it up, even though they were groomed the night before. They were even worse coming back down. If you like going 10 mph max on washboards you'll love them. Once we got past the mountain, Trail 5 was better, but not great. 3. The 250 miles of the Mt. Bachelor trail system is beautiful, but TBH after riding Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the UP, the trail system around Mt. Bachelor isn't the place to go for hard core riding. We rode all day and maybe got 40 miles - in the upper Midwest we'd get at least 100 miles on a low day. This is partly due to the number of people and the trail conditions, but there just aren't the same miles of trails if you really like to ride. 4. The stop at the Elk Lake resort was great. Definitely worth they trip out there. Would we ride the Deschutes Trail System again? -Yes, and we would definitely rent from Central Oregon Rentals. -Yes, but on a weekday or during the shoulder season. Definitely NOT on a holiday weekend. -Yes, but explore starting at a different location.

We were in Bend visiting family over the Christmas break and someone had the great idea to try…read morerenting snowmobiles. After a Google search, I found a place located right at Wanoga Sno Park. Because they were the only ones that came up on multiple Google searches and the ease of pickup and drop off right at the park, they were completely sold out. They referred me to Kevin at Advanced Performance. After a couple of calls to ask questions (I'd never snowmobiled before) we settled on 4 sleds (two singles and two doubles). It was about a 30 minute drive from Bend down in Sunriver, but easy to find the "shop" (which is really just an upstairs office above a home). Kevin was extremely helpful and enthusiastic about getting us on the trail for some fun, giving us a quick orientation to the trail system, making recommendations about places to go (and not go) and giving us basic tips on operating the snowmobiles. According to one family member familiar with snowmobiles, the sleds were nothing special (a pair of Polaris 550's and a pair of Polaris Touring FST 600's) but good enough for our family (my wife and I, our two teenagers, and the kids grandparents) After the 20-30 minute haul to the Edison Sno Park (about 10 miles away but the road was a solid sheet of ice after all the recent snow, so we could only safely go about 30 mph) we had the sleds unloaded and hit the trail. We made a beeline for Elk Lake Lodge for lunch (crowded but GREAT) and then came back by an alternate route. Beautiful scenery and reasonably well groomed trails. There was a lot of traffic on some sections because of the holiday season, so on our way home there was a lot of "washboard" (whatever you call them in snowmobile terms) that was annoying to ride on, but we still had a blast. Bottom line, if you have your own truck and can haul a trailer with the snowmobiles, this is a great option. The experience feels more like borrowing sleds for the day from a friend (including the idiosyncrasies of missing review mirrors or minor stuff like broken speedometers), and Kevin come across as a helpful local more than a businessman (I mean that in a good way). He has a decent selection of helmets (both full face and motocross type) and can supply bibs/pants (remember to buy or bring your own balaclava and gloves if you have them!). When I needed pants, Kevin literally gave me the pants he was wearing.

My boyfriend, sister and her boyfriend were vacationing in Sunriver OR last March. We had skied…read moreour brains out and decided to try something new. We had seen Advanced Performance Rentals business on our way back to the village in Sunriver from Mount Bachelor Ski park a few times that week and decided to stop in to inquire about renting some snowmobiles. We were in luck, there were snowmobiles available for the next day and we were able to negotiate a great price them. Being novices, the owner Kevin made sure that we were given the appropriate snowmobiles for us. The next morning we arrived at 7am. We were very pleased to see our machines that we had reserved were loaded on the trailers, fueled up and ready to go. We were quickly fitted with the appropriate helmets, given easy to follow (did i mention, easy to follow) trail maps and were also given a crash course on the rules and safety regulations of snowmobiling. Kevin suggested on which sno-park to go to... taking in consideration that we were novices. ( I find that all of the locals know the good places to have fun) We hooked his trailer full of equipment to our Jeep and off we went for our adventure of the day. It all ran like clock work... he had us heading out to the park within 30minutes of arriving at his shop. Not that I was worried about the time... The rental time was for all day... so we really didn't feel rushed or feeling like the clock was ticking. We were on vacation and that is the last thing you want to worry about. We were just excited to get the our adventure on! Anyway.... i just wanted to say that our experience that day was awesome... the snow, the sun..... the new adventure.... We all agreed that we would do it again AND we will be sure to rent from Advanced Performance Rentals again. Thank you so much! We shall return!

We stayed here one night on our way through town on a 10 day road trip…read more Our room was great! Very nicely kept, updated, and had everything we could have possibly needed. The furniture is very nice, the bed was very comfortable, the electric fire place kept us warm through the night and we loved the rustic feel of the entire place. Even the bathroom is nicely updated and spacious with a great shower. The lodge sits in a nice neighborhood a little off the beaten path. Town is a quick drive away if you need to stock up on anything, find a restaurant, or stores. There is a small fridge available in the rooms. There is a common area with a hot tub and a grill that can be used but we didn't check out that area so I can't give it any rating with my review. The owners of the lodge also have the MotoFantasy business at this location if you'd like to rent a motorcycle to tour around on. We got a chance to look at some of the bikes, and chat with one of the owners, but didn't have time on our trip to rent a bike. Our only complaint was how loud the noise is from others staying in the lodge. It's not that the neighboring people are intentionally being loud. The lodge itself just has a very hollow sound throughout and isn't set up to soften the noise coming from other rooms. We could clearly hear others talking, phones beeping and ringing, TV, doors opening and closing, others showering, toilets flushing and just general walking and moving around. It made for a loud evening & morning. We left pretty early due to this. Overall, we enjoyed our visit to the area. It's a very nice lodge and an awesome place to check out the motorcycles. Just bring some ear plugs for a good nights sleep.

We stayed in the "Fall Suite" for a quick Saturday get away. I couldn't find our check-in email so…read moreI called and Gloria, who was incredibly sweet, confirmed our stay and even texted good directions. We were met by the cleaning lady as we arrived. I didn't catch her name but she was very friendly. She asked if we needed anything after doing a quick scan of our room and even went to see if she could find decaf coffee for us. Which speaking of coffee, its a real coffee pot with real coffee! Not just the pods. Some stir sticks would be nice. Our two good sized dogs had plenty of yard to run around (we made sure to clean up after them immediately each time). The room was clean and cute. We did move the furniture around to suite us better. The chair sits in front of the couch due to it being a small room. It still worked perfect for us. We sat on the couch and used the ottoman to play cards and dice while we watched a Halloween movie. The gas fireplace in the corner was a nice touch. It was a super cozy evening! There are two adjoining doors on either side of the room if you had friends or family in other rooms. The refer is a good size for drinks and snacks. The bathroom is big with a big walk in shower. Easily fit 2 of us. It did take me several minutes of messing with all the knobs to figure out the shower. The water pressure was just OK. The temperature knob was very touchy... quickly went from warm to hot. Check in and out was super simple. I sent a text to Gloria and she was quick to respond. I am giving 5 stars, even with the minor issues, because overall it was a great stay and we will be back for sure!

Woo-hoo! What a hoot! Spent a weekend in Bend with friends, g/f suggested that we take a ride…read morewith Outriders. Although a bit cautious, it sounded like fun and we signed up. Interestingly, our friends had tried to sign up the next morning but were told that "they'd see what they could do" because apparently Outriders only runs a limited number of 4x4's per trip. But, we found out later that day that they'd added one vehicle to the run and we were all good to go. Launch point was about a 15 minute drive from our friends in S. Bend. Just a turnoff on a forest trail off of the road, we spotted our guide and vehicles and got situated. Helmets were fitted, and we were given a clean set of instructions from Jason, our guide. And off we went. We'd signed up for the two-hour run and honestly, about 15 minutes in, I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy it. It was a bit of a ride, even given the soft suspension of the 4x4's. However, it's hard to deny the beauty of the surroundings and the smiles on our faces. We got up to the top of a bluff whose same I don't recall - Sugar Bluff, maybe? - and stopped for a bit. Jason gave us a status check and a bit of history and geography info. He's very informative, and easy to talk to, very willing to answer questions. From there we headed through the forest to our next stop, some lava fields. Again, a bit of history, very informational about the age of the rocks, and some interesting facts about plant growth in relating to the lava rocks age. All in all, this was a heck of a ride. Up and down, bouncing all around, noisy, only a bit of dust (we were lucky that day so be forewarned if you do this during a dry spell). There are other options available, we're seriously considering one of them for our next trip to Bend. Don't forget to tip your guide!

We had a Christmas day rental of 3 sleds. It was an awesome fun time but I gotta say having a…read morechecklist would be helpful for the team. So we got one of the double trailers the night before. The next day, a light rain was falling which we knew meant snow to up at Wanoga. As we were driving our way up, my trailer started swinging back and forth like it was going to flip. I slowly pulled over and found that the lynch pin that held the trailer tilt down was missing. No idea how that could be gone. I walked along the freeway a bit to see if it had recently fallen out but nothing. Plus it was snowing and traffic was zipping past so I opted to go back to my vehicle. Not the pain in the ass I was looking for. We called and it took an hour for them to get back to us. By then, I had fixed it using a gear tie I had in my truck to latch it down. I also did a ratchet strap set up to try and hold it down and after assistance with one of Oregon State Police's finest, we were on our way. The sleds were amazing. I preferred the Polaris Assault over the Pro's. My buddy compared them to one being a bad ass Goldwing (the Assault) and the other a bad ass crotch rocket. But seriously, they were both super fun to ride and the location great. On the way back, about 3 blocks from dropping things off, my gear tie snapped and obviously the ratchet wasn't enough as the back of the trailer tipped and I was dragging metal on the street. I got it fixed and back again. The sad part was there were no apologies just something about the "prior customer must not have secured it". We also ended up leaving with the keys for the sleds. About 5m's from where we were staying we got a phone call asking about them so we turned around. Why my gf didn't leave them in the sled I don't know but we had to turn around to drop them off. Anyway, this brings me back to my first sentence. A simple checklist for the company and the customer before leaving with the sleds and after dropping them off would be helpful to all involved. Would I use them again? More then likely since I now know more about what is going on but I definitely would shop around first.
