Juniper Springs Resort

10/10 Excellent
"I loved our room! It was so spacious and comfortable (and clean). The staff, from Stephanie at the front desk to the staff in the convenience store were all so friendly and kind. The place is literally in walking distance from the lifts. 10/10 would recommend."

"The lodge was lovely and the staff friendly and helpful. We loved our corner room view of the lake and the crag. Breakfast was excellent. I took off a star only because our bathroom was really small. The toilet was positioned too close to the shower; my knees, when seated, would nearly bump into the glass door. Otherwise, we enjoyed our 2-night stay very much."
