We had a wonderful time. Everything was as advertised. The house was extremely clean, the views sitting on the porch or by the fireplace gorgeous. Lake Junaluska is such a wonderful place to visit. And it was right there for us to explore. Waynesville is close and has some wonderful restaurants.Great golf across the street.
5.0 / 5.0
We enjoyed the location of the house and the all the special thoughtfulness of Carolyn! To walk out the door and get on the walking trail just down the street was great. We participated in the scheduled activities , the worship service, watched the 4th of July parade, etc. and it was all a very short walk away! There was a goody basket with treats, a very thorough explanation posted of the checkout procedures, and a wonderfully organized “red notebook “ with so much information for eating establishments, fun ideas, etc! We will definitely be back!

5.0 / 5.0
Wonderful house. Gorgeous view. Our host, Carolyn goes above and beyond. The queen of hospitality from the goodie basket to the the pet goodies(bed, bowls, treats, and waste bags). Quite impressive. The house was very welcoming. Very comfortable bed and bedding. I felt as if I lived there. Very comfortable. Can't go wrong with this one.
5.0 / 5.0
Very pleasant, though a bit tight for 7 women, 2 bathrooms. Blow up mattress was a double bed. Other double was the living room sofa. One of our folks brought her own blow up for sleeping. Great porch used quite a bit. Did not mind construction noise. We were happy to meet the owners.

Our experience staying at the Lake Life house was fantastic? We were visiting to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary and this house was the perfect spot to call home for the long weekend. The house was immaculate, extremely well equipped for our family and the view from the front porch was breathtaking. We were amazed by the energy that Lake Junaluska provides. There were so many wonderful amenities within walking distance, there was always something to do. We walked around the entire lake, we biked, we skipped stones, visited the dam and loved taking in the incredible colors of Fall. We would recommend Lake Life and look forward to returning if we are able to find it available in the future.

This is a beautiful place to stay. Very comfortable. It was a great getaway for my husband and I and another couple. We were both celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. Beautiful view of the lake and mountains. Everything was newly renovated. Well stocked kitchen with utensils and appliances. Extremely comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms. A great place to have fun with friends and sit out on the porch looking at beautiful scenery. Great fire pit was fun as well. Very nice snack basket and starter amenities. We enjoyed playing cards and sitting out on the porch talking so much that we never turned on the TV our entire visit! Thank you for a great Respite!

Absolutely Fantastic!!
Our experience with this property was perfection from start to finish! Carolyn, the owner, had us well informed of the location and check-in procedure before we left. After we arrived, she checked with us to make sure we found everything to our liking. The house was immaculate, and there was a nice basket of snacks awaiting us. The bed was very soft and comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked with silverware, dishware etc. The lake view was a pleasant experience both from the porch as well as through the living room window. And the Junaluska lakeside trail made for a very nice late afternoon walk. The town of Waynesville offered nice shopping and dining, and we were also very convenient to Cherokee NC and a showing of "Unto these Hills."
All in all, not only would we return, but we wouldn't consider renting anyplace else!

Pleasant house with a lovely view
Everything about the rental went smoothly. We found the beds comfortable. Everything we needed to know, from the A/C to the wifi to the checkout process was well documented. We were there for an annual church retreat and this rental will be top of my list for next year.
