The Terrace at Lake Junaluska

"Staff was very nice and helpful. Hotel and room were clean and comfortable. Our breakfast was included with our stay. It was ok. Meat and eggs were good, but the pancakes and waffles both tasted like they had been sitting out for awhile."

Spacious 2-bedroom home with amazing views, minutes to downtown Waynesville

10/10 Excellent

"This house is an exceptional place to stay! The house is clean and spacious and has a lovely Mountain View. Attractively and comfortably furnished, it is also beautifully decorated. The hosts are attentive and helpful and communication is great. Truly a gem, the house has everything anyone could need and has many extra touches. The kitchen is quite well equipped and very orderly. We have stayed in many vrbo properties, and this is one of the Best!"

10/10 Excellent

"Cozy place just a 5-minute walk from beautiful Lake Junaluska. Has a great front porch and lots of rocking chairs! Very clean and quiet. Kitchen was very well equipped for cooking. Hosts are nearby and were very responsive to a couple of maintenance issues that came up. Bring your walking shoes for the wonderful 2.5 mile, very scenic paved trail that circles the lake! Lots of friendly people. Great little crepe cafe on the lake, too."

Balcony w/ Stunning View! Lake Junaluska Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Our time at the Cherry House in Lake Junaluska was wonderful. The house was spotless when we arrived with new appliances, cooking pans, ect. The kitchen is small but well stocked. We hosted friends for dinner one night - 6 people is just the right size gathering for this cozy house. The beds were very comfortable! We enjoyed drinking our coffee on the balcony and watching the fog burn off over the lake. We walked our dog so much during our stay! 10 minutes, maybe, downhill to the lake and walking path. We also enjoyed just exploring the neighborhoods - always seeing other friendly people out walking too. This is definitely a place where people spend time outside! We look forward to coming back!"
