Perfect Family Getaway at Juniper Ridge!We had an amazing stay at Juniper Ridge! The five separate houses gave everyone privacy, while the shared spaces—especially the pool and pickleball court—made it easy to come together and have fun. The property was clean, stylish, and well-stocked, and the setting was peaceful and beautiful. Perfect for a family getaway—we’re already planning our return!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
We had 11 business colleagues at Juniper Ridge for a work offsite trip. The layout of the space was great for our team dynamic and events. It was appropriately comfortable; the outdoor space and pool area was really nice. Overall, we had a great stay. The 3 days we stayed there we did completely lose water everyday which was frustrating. We came back from being on the lake and wanted to shower and there was no water- the pool sufficed. Overall, it was a great stay, and the property management team was very efficient. I would recommend this property assuming they got the water issues sorted out.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jun 2025
We loved everything about the property! Having our own little homes and then meeting and hanging out at the pool and pool house was ideal.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Sep 2025
Review based on feedback from all guests for our stay:PROS-easy check in-nice pool area, pool temperature -multiple washing machines & dishwashers-great water pressure -board games-pretty decor -responsive staff who did try and compensate us for not being able to access the Oaks building. -A/C kept up in all buildingsCONS-no use of Oaks due to maintenance issue ,told of same the day before our trip. -A lot of furniture felt cheap and not sturdy to sit on. (Creaking, legs at weird angles, couch pieces moving apart)-wifi buffers a lot-missing smoke detectors-doors don’t close all the way in most buildings -had to go to each house to find stuff as they didn’t each have a set of dishes/bowls/pans ect. at each cabin. It was all split and scattered across each cabin-no clothing space in bluffs aside from one clothing rack. Not ideal for longer stays as there’s no where to unpack or store suitcases. -general feeling of disrepair. Trim falling off in the predernales cabin walls, tv balanced on batteries in Mercer, loose hand railings on patios, flooring chipped/ cracked and lifting. -uncomfortable beds for 3/6 rooms used. -extensive extra rules and expectations listed upon check in and not in the listing that would have changed our booking decision.
