new pier at lake junaluska below the big cross
This chapel sits on Lake Junaluska. The inside is just as beautiful as the outside. I came here for the first time with my youth group, and we had so much fun. Lake Junaluska became a place that brought me so much joy. I think this is the most beautiful place in the Appalachian mountains. From the first time I stepped into this chapel, I knew I wanted to get married here. When I look at the mountains, I think of God who created them, and I want to think of that on my wedding day. #appalachianechoes
This is home of the WNC conference of the United Methodist Church. This is one of the most beautiful places in the world, because it was created to glorify God. I have always seen the work of God in the mountains, and I love seeing a place that displays the natural landscape so well. This cross was erected in 1922, and sits at one of the highest points in the conference center. It can be seen from all around, which I love. When I'm at a conference at Lake Junaluska, I love looking at this cross and remembering why I'm there. #appalachianechoes

Calming natural surroundings makes you appreciate the Lambuth Inn as a haven of rest and relaxation.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Stick to the main drag encircling the lake, avoid the one-lane bridge, and be mindful of the numerous speed bumps.

5/5 - Excellent

It’s such a beautiful relaxing place to visit. Nice lake & beautiful Mountain View’s. The best weather ever. Nice people. We had a great time relaxing.

5/5 - Excellent

Lovely grounds and flowers. It was an ideal place to attend the Folkmoot International Dance Festival. It is very close to the lovely town of Waynesville too.

We came for the Folkmoot activities in the area and had a wonderful weekend. Will definitely come back. Loved the entire area. Shopped in Waynesville, ate at some local restaurants and soaked up the cooler weather. Folkmoot was the best! Best weekend
