We enjoyed our stay so much - the weather was a great break from the heat and humidity in Florida. The house is comfortable and convenient to all Lake J has to offer; downtown Waynesville is less than 15 minutes away.

Our family had a wonderful 3-day weekend again this year! The home was immaculately clean, well-appointed, and very comfortable with two master bedrooms on the first floor, plus seating for 8 at the dining room table and in the living room area. The host is a great communicator and takes pride in the house and the care and condition of their home.

Ideal Retreat

This house was the ideal retreat for us during our stay. We were attending a week-long event at the Event Center which was just a short distance away. The house had everything we needed; clean rooms, comfortable furniture, wi-fi, kitchen facilities, etc. Would love to come again next year but unfortunately it is already booked for our dates. I hope to return someday.

Comfortable and Spacious Family Getaway

This was our second stay at this home and our seventh vacation at Lake Junaluska. We like the space, everyone has their own room and a connecting bathroom. The dog friendly policy allows my Dad to bring his traveling companion which is a huge consideration in getting our whole family together. The walking distance to Lake Junaluska is of course the biggest draw. I can't say enough about how much we all love Lake Junaluska. A truly special place for respite and renewal!!

Perfect

We traveled to Lake Junaluska for a conference and ordination. Kathy communicated well leading up to our check-in. She answered questions, provided thorough details, and responded quickly to communication both prior to and during our stay. This home is lovely and was a comfortable place to land for a week. We would definitely return in the future.

Stayed for MiniNats in Maggie Valley

Overall, our experience was great, and Kathy was very communicative and quite amenable! The only thing that I would have appreciated a heads up on was the fact that she has a permanent tenant in the basement. That said, we barely noticed that he was on the property at all. Check in and check out was super easy, and the area is relatively quiet. Heads up- make sure that you bring your own towels and linens unless you don't mind doing some laundry during your stay. All in all, I 10/10 recommend for a nice family getaway.

Wonderful Get-Away for Christmas!

This home was charming, comfortable, and spacious enough for our 7 adults and 1 toddler. It was well equipped with everything needed for our family's Christmas gathering! We invited guests for dinner and there was space in the dining area to add a card table (we brought the table) so that 12 people could eat together. Kathy was very responsive and helpful when we had questions. Our toddler enjoyed the near-by playground and adults enjoyed the almost 3-mile walk around the Lake. Lake Junaluska is always a peaceful, beautiful place to visit regardless of the time of year. We would stay here again!

Fantastic Family Weekend at Lake Junaluska

Every year, my three sisters and their spouses celebrate our family with a reunion in a rented home centrally located to our home addresses. Of the many places we have stayed, our weekend at Lake Junaluska was our best experience. The home was beautifully appointed, spacious (and including two ground floor master suites for our older sisters and partners), warm and inviting for sharing conversations in a cozy circle in comfortable living room seating, and our host, Kathy, was immediately responsive in all communications -- offering flexibility in all details, including our rebooking after Hurricane Helene. The Lake Junaluska area is beautiful, especially the overlooks across the lake and mountains and the well-used paved walking/running tour around the lake. Beautiful and so relaxing. We highly recommend this home and will definitely be back next year!

Pet friendly place in a great, quiet neighborhood, walkable (with hills) to the lake. The cottage was very nice with comfortable furnishing. The Spectrum TV streaming app provided was very limited so be sure to take your Netflix and Prime video credentials so you can access your accounts.
