Scene
Cozy, all-suites boutique popular with vacationing couples
The Pine Ridge Inn is a small boutique that looks out over the Deschutes River. The lobby features knotty-pine floors, unfinished light-wood railings, and a couple of leather chairs that face out on a large area rug, giving it the intimate feel of a bed and breakfast or a mountain lodge. Guests, many of whom are couples, are greeted with a free local draft beer or glass of wine. This is a well-maintained property right on the Deschutes River that provides a cozy alternative to the hotels in and around downtown Bend. The atmosphere overall is relaxed and a touch romantic.
