Juniper Point Cottage Waterfront

Juniper Point Airbnb’s were established in 2017, making us the original Airbnb experience on Juniper Point. Our community is small, private, and home to only a handful of residents- each blessed with stunning lake and mountain views, but very few with direct beach access. That’s what makes us different. At Juniper Point Cottage, you’re not just near the water- you’re steps away from it. Our standards have set the benchmark for the area and are often imitated but never matched. 🦅
