Such a perfect get away for the hustle and bustle of life! We came on off season and it was still beautiful and accomodating. Clean and comfortable. The communication was excellent with the property manager and they were more than helpful. Looking forward to coming back to the little lake house!
Overlooking Lake Junaluska is so delightful! We normally stay in this host’s larger home rental, which we enjoy. Since this was a shorter (6 night) stay, we opted for this smaller accommodation and we loved it. It was everything we wanted! We’ll be back, for sure. Host Carolyn is always available and anxious to please.
Cozy space for two as close to the Lake as you can get. All the amenities and you could imagine, and some that will surprise. A friendly, excellent hostess who thinks of everything. Highly recommended.
This property is very well appointed. There was not a kitchen item that we didn't need that wasn't there. Each item was high quality. The entire property was very clean and efficient for a cozy stay.
The property on its own was comfortable and well equipped. our problem stemmed from the fact that we were all seniors(70,78, and 80 yrs) getting ourselves in and out was very challenging. It was raining consistently when we arrived and during our stay. There was a minivan parked in the driveway which made it very difficult to go in and out on a daily basis. Getting our bags in and out was also a challenge. The driveway need to be leveled and paved, the bushes/flowers needed to be trimmed, we got a shower whenever passing by them. It would be nice to let prospective renters see the access to the accommodation before committing to renting. We loved the location and proximity to the Conference center. Getting in and out was a nightmare.
