Amazing retreat!
We love this small, safe community. The home itself has beautiful views of the mountains and so many amenities to accommodate our needs during our stay. The furnishings are homey providing relaxation and recharge in comfort. We cook our breakfast and dinners in house. We spend our days hiking in the mountains and evenings walking around the beautiful lake. So much to see and do within minutes of this location. The owners are very sweet and kind. We were able to chat with them for a few minutes this visit. We have stayed here multiple times and have reservations to come back. So blessed to have a retreat like this available!!!

Retreat by the lake!
We hiked daily in the beautiful Pisgah National Forest (they allow dogs) each day and at night came home to a comfortable, relaxing Lakeview for the evening! Also took a walk around the lake each day on a wonderful paved pathway. The house is fully equipped inside and a lake view patio outside as well as a sun room on the other side of the house with a different view of the lake. We have stayed here several times and will be back!

Awesome accomodations!
Great views, homey/relaxing environment and wonderful lake community close to the beautiful mountains! Hiked by day and walked the paved lake path each evening. Relaxed on the patio both in the morning with coffee and in the evening with husband and canine companion. Two family members joined us for a couple of days and loved sharing the experience with us. Got to meet the hosts who are very warm and friendly people! We have been there before and are going again.....

Very clean and accommodating. We enjoyed the location also. Would not stay here again because the living room furniture and bedroom to the right need replacing due to age and cushion comfort. Other than replacing the coffee pod machine with a higher quality one the other areas were alright.

Lovely lake view cottage
This cottage was perfect for our getaway to the mountains. We spent much of our time relaxing and enjoying meals in the the comfort of the cottage. We also enjoyed reading and listening to music in the large screen porch and yard with garden and lake views. The walking trail around the lake is a highlight not to be missed and there was easy access to golf, shopping and restaurants. The hosts have thought of every detail to make this a five star rental! Thank you!!

Great place and great views
We enjoyed our stay at this cute cottage at Lake Junaluska. We started most days on the sun porch, and ended them by the backyard fire pit. Great views of the lake and grounds. We enjoyed walking the lake trail, as well as the local coffee shop (and ice cream). There are lots of activities on the grounds (pool, kayaks, SUPs), and it’s a very peaceful and beautiful place. The owners are very nice, and have done a great job of equipping this rental with everything you will need for a great trip.
