Willing to fly to Oregon? We loved Bend and staying at the Sun River Resort! Maybe 1 1/2 hour drive to Crater Lake, one of the most amazing scenes in the world.
That place looks interesting, surprisingly affordable compared to what you get based on the website/pictures.
Other than Crater Lake what would be some of your recommendations around Bend?
Looks close to their wine region.

Bend has a good food/beer scene. Some nice choices. Great hiking outside of the city. That resort has golf, kayaking, swimming pools, miles of bike trails.

3 hours away and on the other side of the cascades.

Bend is fun on its own. Take an afternoon and float the Deschutes River in an inner tube. Smith Rock and Cove Palisades are close by for hiking, as well.
The Oregon coast is gorgeous if you want to spend a day or two there. Totally different vibe from what you get on the beaches in the southeast.
Head north to the Columbia River Gorge for scenic Mt Hood and windsurfing in Hood River, as well as tons of brewery and winery options.

Tons to do in Bend. We spend a good chunk of the summer there every year. Can go rafting, fishing, hiking, tons of mountains to explore, lava flows, old volcano craters. Food is great. Lodging during the summer is relatively affordable.
You can fly directly into Redmond from Denver or any of the major west coast cities, but the drive from Portland is beautiful too. If you wanted to do wine country, could fly into Portland and hit it on the drive to Bend on the southern route.
I'd suggest June and July are best to try to avoid the risk of forest fire smoke.
Smith Rock is one of the hidden gems of the area and one of the best climbing spots in the world and only 30 mins away.
