We enjoyed our stay. The apt was very clean and comfortable and our host was so accessible. He answered our questions without any delay. Do note that the apt is at the bottom of a flight of stairs. We would come back again and experience summer here.
We had a great time visiting. The apartment was downstairs and private, with it's own deck. We met the owner's son and he was able to handle a few request and answer some questions about the area.Neighborhood and residence was very quiet, and restful.Planning on staying again.
Short three night visit. Tremendously enjoyed the property. Quite comfy,clean and easily accessible to all attractions,restaurants, and shopping. Especially enjoyed the walking path around the lake. Highly recommend.
Wonderfully well laid out apartment. Great location above the south end of lake. Extremely clean. The hospitality of, and communication with, the owner was first rate. Thank you!
My husband and I just wanted a quick fall getaway and Junaluska is always a wonderful place. This property is just amazing. Great kitchen and porch. Also, we actually watched tv because of the baseball playoffs and reception was so good. Honestly, can’t wait to come back.
Everything was perfect! The check in process is very easy and the agent was always available if I had any questions. There is a beautiful view of the lake. The home was very clean and had everything we needed. I recommend this house to anyone.
The apartment was beautiful. It is just as described in the listing. The owner was very communicative throughout the entire process. The view from the bedrooms and patio were stunning.
Would definitely book for another stay!!!
Larry was amazing! We had a family emergency and he was very helpful and kind. He provided lots of information on the area, and the check-in/check-out process was easy. The place was comfortable, and clean. Exactly what we needed! Highly recommended.
The apartment is lovely! Walking distance to the lake. The town is still close to Asheville and the mountains. It was a bit drafty in winter, but the heat works well so we weren’t cold. Highly recommend!
The unit was immaculate when we arrived and very well stocked and decorated. It definitely exceeded expectations, and furthermore, was very conveniently located. The host is communicative and accommodating. The whole stay from check-in to check-out was seamless. It seems they have thought of everything! The whole family enjoyed this place! Highly recommend.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lake Junaluska. The apartment was clean, spacious, and quiet. The owner is very responsive and made sure everything went smoothly for our stay. (He even mailed us a stuffed animal that our sone had left by mistake!).
There are many things to do around the lake and golf course just across the street. Very convenient to Waynesville and Maggie Valley. A nice place to unwind and relax. Thanks for your hospitality!
My cousin and I were delighted with this apartment. We felt very safe, and we were very comfortable. The parking was very convenient. The deck off the front door was just delightful--wonderful for morning coffee and delightful in the early evening. The host has truly provided every comfort any guest would require. Any questions we had were answered within minutes. We are looking forward to returning to this wonderful apartment. I enjoyed the walk around the lake every morning on the lake path.
This property was absolutely perfect for our family of 4! Everything was as described. Larry was such a communicative host also. The place was super clean and well stocked (one paper towel roll, one roll of toilet paper, a few trash bags, dishwasher pods, K-cup coffees, a few tupperware, handsoaps for bathroom and kitchen, small thing of Dawn dish soap, body wash in shower, Febreeze in bathroom, etc) We will absolutely be back to this property again! One thing to note and this is not a bad thing - but if you sleep hot, there are not ceiling fans in the bedrooms so bring a small fan for the nightstand. Again, not a negative thing, just something to note for sleeping preference.
The only view from the Starstorm Mountain apartment is from the deck. There is no view from inside the apartment. Unfortunately, it rained every day of our visit except the first day. We did enjoy the deck on that first day, but spent the remaining time in the cave. The information regarding the apartment stated that there is a fireplace. We looked for it expecting a woodburning or gas log fireplace. We finally discovered a fake fireplace in the cabinet under the TV. While it did put off some heat it certainly didn't rate as a fireplace!
The apartment was big and comfortable. The unit was clean and well-stocked. Our main issue was with the lack of a view since that is our main reason for going to the mountains.
Host was welcoming and helpful; apartment was charming, well equipped and so clean! Location gave us a lake view and delightful back deck for soaking up beautiful fall weather in peace. A bonus was being able to bring our dog with us--her portable crate slid easily into the laundry room as well for bedtime. Thank, Larry, for a great stay!
