Home away from Home

This lovely vacation home is a place I will definitely revisit over and over again. Whether siting outside or inside, the location is perfect to relax and enjoy the view of the lake. The house is just a short walk to the lake and to other activities around the lake. Its home away from Home.

Perfect location and views

This was my second time here. The location was a short walk to my meetings in Stuart auditorium. The views of the lake from the front yard and the backyard are perfect, and the yard is beautifully cared for. Inside the house is warm and cozy and has everything you need for your stay.

Beautiful location

Lovely place and the location is amazing! Perfect if a very firm mattress is what you prefer, unfortunately it's not our preference so sleep was challenging. Property is changing owners so changes may be made. We'd definitely consider staying here again despite the extra firm mattresses.

The Views is an a appropriate name

With this place situated on a ridge in the middle of the lake, the views were awesome from both sides of the house. The only warning is that one needs to be prepared for the rather steep drive that is takes to get in and out.

Retreat by the lake!

We hiked daily in the beautiful Pisgah National Forest (they allow dogs) each day and at night came home to a comfortable, relaxing Lakeview for the evening! Also took a walk around the lake each day on a wonderful paved pathway. The house is fully equipped inside and a lake view patio outside as well as a sun room on the other side of the house with a different view of the lake. We have stayed here several times and will be back!

Heavenly Paradise

The moment we walked in we felt like we were in heaven. This apartment provides the most beautiful views which there are no words to describe. Charlotte and Wilson are such gracious hosts. We appreciated the opportunity to attend Longs Chapel Methodist Church with them. We will definitely be returning very soon.

Back again

We do love staying at Junaluska Escape. The home has been refurbished & looks very nice. We liked having the extra 1/2 bath. The Lake Junaluska grounds are always beautiful & perfect for walking. The back yard view is exceptional. Hope to one day get there when the leaves are perfect. Tks again.

Amazing retreat!

We love this small, safe community. The home itself has beautiful views of the mountains and so many amenities to accommodate our needs during our stay. The furnishings are homey providing relaxation and recharge in comfort. We cook our breakfast and dinners in house. We spend our days hiking in the mountains and evenings walking around the beautiful lake. So much to see and do within minutes of this location. The owners are very sweet and kind. We were able to chat with them for a few minutes this visit. We have stayed here multiple times and have reservations to come back. So blessed to have a retreat like this available!!!
