About this property

Juniper Ridge 5 BR Family Cabin

The Juniper Ridge Family Cabin is one of our most "western" accommodations, featuring wrap around deck, fantastic views, TV-DVD, WIFI, picnic table, full kitchen, dining room table, all linens, washer & dryer, night sky viewing, sunrise, sunset.

The Juniper Ridge Family Cabin (located 3 miles north of Blanding, Utah) is truly one of our most western cabin accommodations, featuring wrap around deck, fire pit, TV, DVD, WIFI, picnic table, fully furnished kitchen, dining room table, all linens, washer & dryer! Sleeps up to 10+ people including adults and children.
A one-of-a-kind vacation cabin, set alone on Blue Mountain Road with a 360-degree view in all directions as far as the eye can see, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah! Relax on the large deck in the sun or shade. The Juniper Ridge Family Cabin makes you feel secluded, while just two miles away lies the most popular lake in San Juan County - great for swimming, fishing, boating, and water sports!
Inside, you'll find much more space than you anticipated - with stunning vaulted ceilings, 5 bedrooms, 2 baths, a full kitchen, wood-burning stove, a very spacious living room, and cozy sofas!
Four of the bedrooms have a Queen Bed for comfort. The last bedroom has a twin bunk bed.
All linens (towels, sheets, blankets, pillows, etc.) are provided for you. The kitchen is also stocked with all the cooking and serving utensils - all you bring is the food and condiments!
WIFI, TV, and DVD are provided at no additional cost - that is of course if you ever have time to use them. Our guess is, you'll be so busy exploring all the popular national and state parks and monuments in southeast Utah - that's right, the Juniper Ridge Family Cabin is located centrally among more than a dozen of them!

(Please note: the house is NOT pet-friendly).
We would like to go on and on, but the photos of the cabin are worth a thousand words! Please feel free to ask any questions you may have or use the availability calendar to check for availability online when you're ready. We look forward to your stay!

Access to the whole house, and property.

For your privacy we are not onsite but are available by phone 24 hours a day, and we are just a short drive away for your convenience.

We are on our own little ranch with amazing views.

You will need a car or some other type of personal transportation to get around. If you want to bring your bike there are many great bike rides from our getaway.

Wonderful Cabin

Juniper Ridge Cabin was all that we expected and more! It was our home base for an ATV trip and was so nice to come "home" to every day. The owner was the sweetest woman and we really enjoyed getting to know her. Although we didn't encounter any problems with the cabin during our stay we are sure that they would have been handled quickly and satisfactorily. We had a wonderful trip thanks, in a large part to the incredible accommodations we found at Juniper Ridge.

Great place in Blanding, UT

Property owner was really great to talk with and gave us some great information about the area. We loved the house, only drawback was the somewhat difficult, narrow spiral staircase leading to the three bedrooms downstairs. But overall, we were very pleased with the house and the solitude it offered and the very convenient location.

Rural feel, but close to town

This property was perfect for us. We were a party of 4 Utahns with 3 of our British cousins. We wanted to have an intimate gathering and show our Brits the beauties of Utah. This property was just what we needed. We could all stay together, eat around one big table, cook our meals in the large kitchen, do our laundry and travel to the beauties of Moab, Blanding, Bluff and so forth!!

Beautiful log home with lovely decks and views. Definitely a lot of space, nice thick towels, comfortable beds, cozy decor. Kitchen had 2 cooking pots and one usable frying pan---a bit skimpy. That being said, there were amaple glasses and dishes, but no serving bowls. The plumbing is quirky and internet connection is sketchy. Would have given a 5 star rating if not for tge aforementiined.

Great family cabin

We enjoyed our stay at Juniper Ridge. The cabin was quaint and unassuming...a little quirky but that added to the charm. One thing I might adjust is adding some shades to the south/east SUN facing windows. The solar gain was incredible at heating the house and was a little problematic when cooking breakfast in the kitchen. So bright. the hosts were great at communicating and we enjoyed our visit. Especially the sweet stray cat that wanted loves whenever you went outside. We named it JuniPURR. We almost took it home but then I came to my senses.

Fabulous place for a group vacation

My husband and I and 7 of our friends were in the Blanding area for a multi-day ATV trip with our club. We much prefer staying at B&B's or VRBO's to being isolated in a hotel room, and since you can do most of the cooking yourself, you save money and eat just what you like! We found the Juniper Ridge Family Cabin on VRBO and stayed for several nights. It was a gorgeous house, 3 levels, with a wraparound deck and a panoramic view of the nearby Abajo Mountains to the north and all the way to Shiprock, NM to the south. Hosts Allen and Leonie Hunt are the most charming and friendly couple, and their home reflects their wide interests and gracious style. When a rock fall on the trail caused a last minute ride cancellation, Allen came to the rescue by showing us some alternate routes we could follow. The resulting next day's ride was memorable for all. The home itself is warm and inviting, decorated in southwest motif with musical accents (the owners are accomplished musicians) and nods to Leonie's Australian roots. You can even play the marimba upstairs! There are five bedrooms (4 queens and a bunk room), and the house has everything guests could want, right down to the ready-made pancake mix in the fridge. The large kitchen is a breeze to work in, even with lots of "helpers", and the big dining table with built-in lazy Susan avoids those awkward reaches across your neighbor's plate. Access is good, with a number of outside doors on each floor, but the spiral stairway between levels is VERY narrow, and handicapped or large guests will have to walk around the outside of the house to one of the other stairways. However, that just gives you more opportunity to cross paths with the many little cottontail rabbits that form the welcoming committee, and scamper about in the driveway morning and evening! There is a full bathroom on each of the main floors. Supplies are well stocked and the Wi-Fi worked perfectly. A word of caution - the hot water system won't accommodate more than one person showering at a time, or you'll alternately freeze and boil! But it's a small drawback for such a lovely home. There is plenty of parking - our group easily found room to park FIVE truck-trailer combinations. The owners have even compiled a notebook with extensive ideas for nearby day trips. Our little bunch of friends had a delightful time at the Juniper Ridge Family Cabin, and highly recommend it for large families or groups, or even a romantic getaway.

Perfect for a group of friends

This was our second time staying at this home. As with our previously stay, the cabin was delightful and everyone loved it. It's spacious, furnished well and the owners' eclectic interests are evident in every room. The kitchen and dining rooms are designed for groups and the many doors (5 on the main level) make it accessible. Located in a quiet, rural neighborhood, there's plenty of privacy, and stunning views spanning from Blue Mountain to Shiprock. At night the skies are crystal clear for star viewing. There's plenty of parking, even for several truck/trailer combos, and the owners are very responsive even when out of town. If there are any cons, they are minor: The driveway is home to numerous red ants, and I was badly stung by one that crawled up inside my pant leg. The many large windows mean the house heats up in the daytime, but it cools down nicely from the evening breezes. Since we were gone during the day, this wasn't a big deal. There is a small air conditioner but it's inadequate for such a large house. And the kitchen could use some seasonings besides salt and pepper, some cooking oil, and some large drinking glasses. Finally, be aware that the spiral staircase between upper and lower levels is VERY TIGHT, and a quite large person may not fit through it. But these are minor issues. All in all, we highly recommend this property!

Central location for all the national parks nearby

We enjoyed our stay at the Juniper Ridge Cabin. It was central to all of the national parks we wanted to visit while on our trip. It was also close to the local grocery store. The house is plenty big enough for everyone to spread out. A few things to keep in mind - to get to the lower level, where nearly all the bedrooms are, you need to go down an extremely narrow spiral staircase (or go outside and around). This made it difficult to carry our belongings up and and down the stairs and for our 70-something parents to use the lower level. This lower level is also where the only television is. The kitchen needs some updates in terms of pots, pans, baking pans, cutting boards and bowls. Most everything is well past its useful life. The dining room table was great - it seats a large family and was perfect for card games. The on-site laundry was a must for us. With a few improvements this could be perfect, but for people that don't need to cook and don't have any issues with the spiral staircase, this is a great vacation spot.
