How Does the VIP Experience Work?

This perk program is one that we put together so our guests can explore and enjoy the activities and businesses that the Sunriver area has to offer! We want you to get the most out of your Sunriver adventure and hope these opportunities will help.

When you book your stay with us, you get to engage in 2 different types of perks: Selection Perks and Stay Perks.
Selection Perks are selected at the time of your booking and are included in your stay. You have the choice to either get up to $250 of entry fee reimbursement for SHARC, or you get to select free tickets to 3 local attractions for your whole booking gorupfrom a list like the High Desert Musuem, Sunriver Nature Center and Observatory, Modern Games’ Game Library, and more. See all current Selection Perks options here.

Stay Perks are specials/discounts that are constantly available to guests during their stay with Village Properties. These are mostly discounts and freebies that are offered by local businesses. You’ll get access to a variety of exciting ventures and more at a discount, including outdoor adventures, indoor activities, food/drink, shopping, etc.

Many of these perks will be redeemed by showing a VP VIP card (provided in your rental), but this does not apply to all of the perks. Please see each perk listing on our website or in the rental’s homebook for information about how to redeem the perk as a VP VIP. Some ask that you book in advance of your stay, so planning your trip and perk use early is recommended! If a VIP Card is required to redeem the perk, have each group member who is redeeming it have a VIP card, as the card is per person and not per group. VIP Cards will be placed in each vacation home. Each home will include enough VIP Cards for each guest to have one.

Why You Should Book Directly For The Best Sunriver Vacation Lodging

Everyone knows vacations are a great way to relax and create cherished memories with those who matter most.  Searching for the ideal vacation rental home can be overbearing.  Since the explosion of online travel websites, you can easily spend hours sifting through hundreds of homes on many different sites.  Unfortunately, few people know that you’ll get the best deal by booking your vacation rental directly with the property management company. Village Properties at Sunriver will walk you through why booking directly will save you the most money, giving you the best value and lodging.

  • Pro-tip, you’ll save a bunch of money upfront by booking directly. We are talking about potentially hundreds of dollars. Third-party websites like VRBO, Airbnb, and Homeaway add additional fees to your reservation.
  • If you have special needs, let us know. It’s harder for people with special needs to get the support they require to enjoy their vacation respite when booking through a third party. We can directly communicate with you to make quick and essential changes. Please reach out to us.
  • If you book directly with us, you can depend on a reliable line of communication. Instead of connecting you to an unknown general support client, we will personally email you all the information. A 24/7 phone number will connect you directly to our property management team. Just in case of an emergency or unexpected issue.
  • Booking directly allows us to offer you some of the best vacation rentals. The fair pricing we offer won’t be found on big third-party websites.
  • We live and breathe Oregon’s sites and sounds. We’re trying to say that we know the area the best. As local experts who live here, we can give you suggestions for where to eat, hike, and where to find a great local band. With a third-party website for your lodging, you will not find that type of intimacy and knowledge about Sunriver or Bend, Oregon.

Save Yourself Time And Money And Book Directly

Vacations are meant to be relaxing and enjoyable. Don’t let the booking process get in the way of your lodging in Sunriver, Oregon lodging. If you book directly with Village Properties at Sunriver, we can help you at any stage of your journey toward the best vacation in the Pacific Northwest.
