Although Juniper Preserve was not as close to Bend as I thought, the facilities there are very nice. The preserve is roughly 30 minutes from Bend and 32 minutes from Redmond. Aside from the absolutely beautiful surroundings and the fact that it is dog-friendly, the service really stood out. All of the staff we spoke with (front desk, restaurant, bar, snack bar) were incredibly friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to answer questions. It is apparent that they love their jobs and they want the guest to love Juniper Preserve as much as they do. I'll be back!
