Nice stay

The house is well appointed (with everything you need for a home away from home) and close to the lake. The beds are super comfortable, and the owner was great to work with. If you are planning a trip to the area, this is a comfy and nice place to stay.

Beautiful place

The house was perfect for our group. We had a 90 yo couple with us and the access to the house & two master suites on the ground level was great. The feel of the house was warm & welcoming- there were even some hydrangeas in a vase from the bush on the kitchen counter (my favorite flowers) Would definitely recommend this house & look forward to another visit

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.

Great stay

This is a great location and stay if you're traveling to Lake Junaluska or surrounding area. The owner is a text or email away with any needs or questions, making sure her guests are taken care of. I can't say enough good things about this clean and spacious property.

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!

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!!

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.
