Locally Owned & Self-Managed
After 1.5 years under a property management group, we made the decision to self-manage the Snuggly Otter. During our initial run, we consistently earned 5 star reviews from guests. What we realized is that what guests loved was the product of our hard work - just check out some comments from past guests!
"Such a great place!!! Everything is super clean, comfy and designed beautifully. We came at around 10pm for checking in and was so pleasant to see the greeting card and snacks at the foyer! My daughter loves this place so much, we are definitely looking forward to come back and stay more! Thank you!"
"This was our first time at Sunriver and this place made our trip so much more enjoyable. The location is fantastic, walking distance from the village, resort, and trails. The property went above and beyond providing everything someone would need to make their stay feel like HOME. The bed, linens, and towels were extra comfortable. I cannot recommend this unit enough!!!"
"The attention to detail is above! The hidden bunks in the wall were just adorable. It was clean and had all the extra little things including a great tea selection. We can't wait to go back. :)"
Managed directly by River Otter Retreats LLC, not a call center. This means quicker responses, thoughtful touches, and the kind of hospitality we look for when we travel.

For everyone’s peace of mind, we require a signed rental agreement after booking. This just outlines community rules, house policies, and check-out expectations.
