Fantastic Family Weekend at Lake Junaluska
Every year, my three sisters and their spouses celebrate our family with a reunion in a rented home centrally located to our home addresses. Of the many places we have stayed, our weekend at Lake Junaluska was our best experience. The home was beautifully appointed, spacious (and including two ground floor master suites for our older sisters and partners), warm and inviting for sharing conversations in a cozy circle in comfortable living room seating, and our host, Kathy, was immediately responsive in all communications -- offering flexibility in all details, including our rebooking after Hurricane Helene. The Lake Junaluska area is beautiful, especially the overlooks across the lake and mountains and the well-used paved walking/running tour around the lake. Beautiful and so relaxing. We highly recommend this home and will definitely be back next year!

We enjoyed our stay so much - the weather was a great break from the heat and humidity in Florida. The house is comfortable and convenient to all Lake J has to offer; downtown Waynesville is less than 15 minutes away.

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!!

Good enough, if you are okay with a man in basement and lots of pet dander.
The size is good, but the level of pet dander made some in our group uncomfortable. We don't like the idea of bringing our own linens. It's an older house, and showing some wear. We like the natural light. In the upstairs bed rooms, we had trouble finding a comfortable temperature for sleeping. We had children with us, and don't like the idea of having a man in the basement.

We traveled to Lake Junaluska for a conference and ordination. Kathy communicated well leading up to our check-in. She answered questions, provided thorough details, and responded quickly to communication both prior to and during our stay. This home is lovely and was a comfortable place to land for a week. We would definitely return in the future.

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.

Nice house, clean. Really close to neighbors. Wasn’t a big fan of bringing my own linens, towels, dish cloth,etc. There wasn’t enough toilet paper. And check out wanting you to make beds empty dishwasher and still charge $90 cleaning fee! Thanks for the stay but 1 and done!

Exceeded Expectations!!
Frim the day we booked this property until the hour we locked the door our stay was perfect. The house is super spacious with plenty of room for 4 house guests as well and an additional 4 that joined us for a cook out on the large deck. The house had everything we needed to be comfortable and safe. An unexpected joy was the communication with the owner, Kathy. She answered every question we had and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was first rate. A bonus was the beautiful mountain view from the end of the driveway. I am putting this property on the top of my favorite VBRO mountain property list. I will DEFINITELY be back!!!

Nice house/great location
We stayed here for the lake junaluska conference. It’s the perfect house for convenience to the lake and is minutes away from Waynesville and Maggie Valley, and about a 30 minute drive to Asheville. We thoroughly enjoyed the large and shady deck, and even though it’s in the middle of a neighborhood it still felt very private and peaceful. Older style house is charming and had lots of room for us (3 couples and our mom). Our mother enjoyed a bedroom on the main floor with its own bathroom and she was able to not have to deal with stairs to get to the deck since those were on the main floor. We really appreciated the extra parking space our host made, plus if you happen to have a mini-cooper/smallish car, you could pull one car up as far as the parking area will let you, then just park the little car behind it, so we were able to accommodate our 4 vehicles! The only suggestion to our host would be to label the light switches lol! We had a great time here-thanks again 😁

Great space for family visit
This house was perfect for our family. We were in town for a wedding and we enjoyed cooking meals and sitting together in the main room and on the deck to visit. I didn’t remember the note about no towels and lines when I made the reservation, but Kathy sent a reminder and when I had a question about it, the reply came within minutes. Would absolutely recommend this property.

Family Weekend
Our family spent the weekend in Maggie Valley . The house was warm and welcoming . We built a cozy fire one evening while playing games and drinking hot chocolate . The house was close to the main road in Maggie Valley , shopping, restaurants , tubing within minutes. Kathy’s communication and consideration went above and beyond . We are hoping to return next year !
