Conde Nast recently announced their 20th annual spa survey results. The top spas in North America, Hawaii, Central America and the Caribbean are listed and Sage Springs Spa at Sunriver Resort is one of them!

This year they announced the top 240 spas that earned high ratings which is almost triple the number of spas who won last year. According to Conde Nast, the reason for the increase is due to the fact that spas are now offering new types of treatments for children, teens, seniors, men and pregnant women. In addition, spas had a 17.8% growth last year.

This is the list for people who love to travel, relax, rejuvenate and be pampered! View the full list: Conde Nast's Top 240 Spas in North America.

Last week we asked our Facebook and Twitter followers how they first found out about Sunriver Resort. "Did you read about us somewhere? Did someone let you in on the Sunriver secret?"

We received some great responses. Here's a few highlights:

We took some high quality video shots up at Paulina Lake yesterday while cross-country skiing. Here are a few lower quality shots with the flip camera. For those unfamiliar with the area, Paulina is 20 minutes south of Sunriver Resort in the Newberry National Volcanic Monument. It's about a seven mile loop through mixed conifer forests starting at 5,500 feet and ending up at the Paulina Lake at about 6,300 feet.

The Central Oregon School of Irish Dance will be performing at the Owl's Nest in the Sunriver Lodge on St. Patrick’s Day.  The dancers (some of which have been to the World Championships in Ireland) will be performing soft shoe, similar to ballet, and hard shoe, similar to tap. These girls have been working hard all year and are eager to show off their moves to Sunriver Resort guests.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Many words have been written about Sunriver’s historic Great Hall, now used as a meeting and wedding venue.  It is the magnificent legacy of Camp Abbot constructed in 1943 by the Army Corps of Engineers.  We know the camp’s Commander, Col. Frank Besson chose his most elite engineers to construct an officers club in the style of a mountain lodge.  We know the engineers and craftsman used over 500 hand-hewn logs and tons of native rock to complete the project. History tells us construction began in October 1943 and was completed in December 1943.  The Army spent a mere $4,796 to obtain materials not available locally.  It was a training exercise for soldiers and engineers bound for the European front. Yes much is known about the stately Great Hall, but one piece of history remains a mystery… What was the Bush Raising Ceremony?

About one year ago, the Sunriver Stables at Sunriver Resort adopted three mustangs from the Bureau of Land Management. They were yearlings, born in the wild and just recently rounded up and brought into holding pens. We came home with these wild horses that night and thought, "We're crazy"!  But working with them this past year has been the most fun and rewarding experience. After hours and hours of training today we finally got up on Mesa for the first time - with no problems at all. What an amazing feeling. These Mustangs are certainly not as wild as they appear. Stop by the Stables any time of year and see these beautiful animals up close. Picture of Mesa below:
