Riverhouse on the Deschutes

What Riverhouse on the Deschutes does

Riverhouse Lodge, doing business as Riverhouse on the Deschutes, is a full-service resort hotel and convention center in Bend, Oregon, operating along the Deschutes River under the Benchmark Resorts & Hotels brand. The property offers a diverse room mix — Lodge Rooms, Bunk Rooms, River View Rooms (with fireplace and fire-pit variants), and One-Bedroom Suites — alongside three on-site food and beverage outlets (Currents Restaurant & Lounge, Currents Café, and the nightly Taste of Bend craft-beverage tasting hour), a 24-hour fitness center with Peloton bikes, indoor and outdoor pools, sauna, steam room, yoga zone, and on-site bike and kayak rentals.

The resort monetizes through a multi-stream hospitality model: nightly room revenue, on-site F&B, meetings and events venue rental (61,000+ sq ft of flexible indoor-outdoor space including the Cascade Ballroom and Exhibit Hall, with capacity for events up to 800 guests), wellness and recreation day passes, commission-based bookings through outdoor activity partners (Sun Country Tours, Bend Kayak School, Wanderlust Tours, Rivers Edge Golf, Mt. Bachelor), and membership/loyalty programs (Riverhouse Lodge Membership and Benchmark's Mosaic Rewards). Distribution is primarily direct via the Synxis booking engine and phone reservations, supplemented by OTA channels, Benchmark corporate sales, and walk-in transient business.

The customer base spans four segments: leisure and outdoor-adventure travelers (Mt. Bachelor skiing, rafting, hiking, mountain biking), corporate groups and meeting planners, wedding and event parties, and families/groups with pet-friendly accommodations. The 51–100 employee private property is actively operating, recently introduced a 19% Destination Fee effective January 16, 2026, and continues to expand its activity-partnership ecosystem to position itself as a Central Oregon adventure basecamp rather than a commodity lodging provider.
