I would highly and excitedly encourage anyone to stay at Laurel Ridge Cabin. Beautiful, peaceful surroundings, with gorgeous views. Home is like new, comfortable for adults and families with children. Secluded yet close to dining, shopping and close to the Blue Ridge Parkway and Great Smoky National Park.
Favorite Feature of the property: The views from the upper deck of this cabin has to be my favorite feature. Watching the sunrise each morning is a must see! The hot tub on the lower deck was great to relax after a long day of hiking and sightseeing. Everything was thoughtfully provided for a comfortable stay, including furniture, cookware & bedding. TVs in each room & Family games & books available for down time.
Reason for visiting: Leisurely and recreational visit while providing our 87 year old mother with a trip she might not otherwise tackle on her own. ( even though she probably would try.) We enjoyed visiting the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, driving through the Smoky Mountains where we happy to view & take photos of two young bears and a number of elk. We hiked a couple of easy hikes, rode a steam train & rustic jeep excursion highlighting several waterfalls.

I loved the front porch and the view of the cross lit up at night thru the bedroom window. No need for AC the fans kept it cool. Favorite feature of the property. The views both out the living room and bedroom window.

We had a wonderful time. House is conveniently located to the lake, golf course and other amenities. Our family of 9 was very comfortable. There was plenty of room whether we eating, playing games around the table or just relaxing in the living room. Favorite feature of the property: Only One?? The view is gorgeous, the house is convenient to everything and the house is large enough that our family of 9 adults never felt cramped.

Tina and Paula were great to work with. Always available and helpful. The information Sunburst provides regarding rental home, property amenities and surrounding area was very helpful. It was so detailed which is helpful for a first time visitor.

loved it! The rental home itself has been there a long time. Some of the homes in that area are over a hundred years old. Furnishings probably date back to 60-70s era. Reminds me of the home I grew up in or being at my grandparents home back then. Some updates have been made and everything worked great - appliances and air conditioning. Everything was spotless and well arranged. I thought this home to be very charming and a comfortable home. Mattresses on some of the beds could be improved particularly on the twin beds. But if kids are on them it would probably be just fine. The back deck overlooking the lake is worth the trip! While teens participated in M28 I sat on the deck!!!

All very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Prompt to respond, Would use this agency again. Sunburst Realty was very prompt to help in all our needs -- especially when the refrigerator died! They brought out a very up to date refrigerator, and set it up in the garage while we waited for the existing one to be serviced. All this was done within two days of letting them know the refrigerator had ceased to cool.

Very nice accommodations with more than adequate space. Well stocked with everything necessary to enjoy our time there. Beautiful view of the lake. Plus very convenient to our campmeeting at Junaluska Conference Center.

Elizabeth and Amanda were very kind, responsive, and helpful! Our stay at the Mountain Sojourn was the most wonderful vacation rental experience we have ever had! Sunburst made the whole process easy.

Everyone should experience the beauty and serenity of the Mountain Sojourn! Each room in the house is impeccably decorated, every piece of furniture is perfectly comfortable (especially the beds), and the views from inside as well as from the wrap around deck are just amazing! The owners have thoughtfully provided everything one needs for an enjoyable stay; from the new, easy to use appliances and kitchen ware to the plush linens, and cozy library! The house is nestled into the side of the mountain and surrounded by some of the most gorgeous flowers you have ever seen. And, you cant beat the location! Its so convenient to everything! We had a super easy drive to Maggie Valley, Lake Junaluska, the Blueridge Parkway, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and the Biltmore! The property exceeded our expectations! Favorite Feature: It is impossible to pick one favorite feature. We loved everything about it!
