The last of the Christmas decorations have been packed away and the empty champagne bottles from New Year’s Eve have been trucked away, so at last you can sit back and relax for a bit, right? As much as we at Bend Vacation Rentals would love to say, yes, take a break from the holidays—you deserve it—we know that Valentine’s Day is next up on the merry-go-round of life, and after last year’s fiasco, you may be wanting to go the extra mile for this year’s holiday, spoiling your loved one so as to make her forget what happened in 2024.
And because we know how difficult it can be to figure out what she may love as a Valentine’s gift, this guide to a vacation to Bend, a stay in our romantic retreats, and following the advice we give on this page will give her amnesia and help you win the best gift giver of 2025 award. Explore why you should treat your loved one to Valentine’s Day in Bend this year:
Breakfast in the Most Comfortable Beds in the State
There’s a reason traditions stick around, and that reason is they work, so if you shrug away the thought of bringing your Valentine breakfast in bed, you are skipping out on an easy and romantic way to make her feel spoiled. And before we go any further, we want to assure you that we are using the word her as a substitute for male or female, and we can assure you that the tricks we show you will work for either sex! Back to the topic at hand, breakfast in bed is the first step in spoiling your Valentine, and if you aren’t really a star in the kitchen, it’s ok; Door Dash can deliver the breakfast of her dreams to your doorstep and all you need to remember is to add a mimosa to the tray you bring her.
A Day at the Spa
As soon as the holidays ended, your love was back at it full throttle, working late, chauffeuring the kids from event to event, and making sure dinner is on the table every night. And as much as she loves her life, she is tired, she is sore, and her chi is on the fritz, making a day at Spa W, 125 NW Wall Street, the perfect way to get back in alignment.
There truly is no more sumptuous way of spoiling someone, and the services offered by this local hot spot are guaranteed to make her feel like a new woman. And if you’re going to go for it, go for it all the way with their Wrapsody package, lasting 4.5 hours and involving ALL their services, including steam, honey sugar glow, a 60-minute Swedish massage, a triple threat facial, and the W pedicure. After 25+ years in business, this amazing spa really knows how to spoil a person!
Sweets for Your Sweet
We’re back on the tradition kick, and although a box of chocolates might have been looked down on by itself, when it is accompanied with all the other spoiling opportunities on this page, we can promise it will be much appreciated, especially when the chocolate comes from Goody’s Bend, located at 957 NW Wall Street. Selling homemade chocolates, popcorn, ice cream, and candy, this sweet place will make all the highlight reels of a vacation filled with romance and something wonderful!
The Big Question
Valentine’s Day is often when the most important question you can ask is asked, and if your plans are running along those lines, but you haven’t found the right ring yet, a visit to Saxon’s Fine Jewelers may be in your future. Offering a sophisticated selection of the glittery stuff, the rings, bracelets, earrings, and necklaces sold here will make any recipient understand just how important they are to the love of their life, so even if you aren’t asking the question, why not stop by and see if there is something she would appreciate wearing?
Fine Dining with Your Fine Valentine
As the sun sets on the best Valentine’s Day ever, all that’s left is a beautiful dinner at The Blacksmith Restaurant, located at 211 NW Greenwood Avenue. The building in which juicy steaks are served on a daily basis was once a blacksmith company, hence the name, but we are here to tell you, we much prefer it as a restaurant.
The scent of fire is from grills instead of ovens today and the sound of metal clanking on metal has given way to the clinking of forks against plates, but the brick walls still hold the echoes of the men who made their living as smithies, adding an extra layer of ambience in a space that has been in existence for over 100 years. Don’t forget to save room for dessert, their rotating specialty cake never fails to excite.
