This home is adorable and cozy. Close to town and other amenities. We didnt realize it was 1.5 hours from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, but we made the trip 2 times while there. Great spot for fishing. Home is spacious and beds were comfy! Would love to stay again when we come to this area!

Easy to communicate with via text. A little challenging to get on the phone with. Hard to connect with when you cant see the phone numbers thru the app, but friendly and helpful once connected.

Beautiful view, close location to everything we wanted. We loved the lake and the house was exactly what we needed. Someone might want to check the dryer tape on the pipe - seems to be slowing down the dryer use.

Rustic log cabin right by Lake Junaluska! The location of this cabin was perfect, we were just steps away from Lake Junaluska. We took morning and afternoon walks around the 2.3 mile lake loop, had coffee at the Lake's coffee shop & swam at the community pool. The lake also offers rentals for canoes, kayaks, paddle boards, minature golf & other activities. The cabin will make you feel like you area away in the woods. You are also very close to all of the quanit towns; Asheville, Waynesville & just a short drive to The Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

With a 200-acre lake and surrounding 1,200 acres of rolling hills and valleys, Lake Junaluska is a popular Haywood County destination for visitors and locals alike. There are plenty of fun things to do and great places to stay in Lake Junaluska, North Carolina.
