We loved our time at Lake Junaluska and this particular place gave us the best of both worlds—we were in walking distance to the lake and pool, but we were hidden away in the trees which kept things cool in the July heat. We’ll be back!

Nice but not near lake for people in their 70s. Too many steps. Had to leave early due to family situation

Cozy suite on Lake Junaluska, NC. For those who like the option of cooking and/or grilling a a spacious deck overlooking the lake, this is the place. Looking for peace and quiet to write that next chapter, or a respite that's close to Waynesville shopping and dining? This is the place for you!

We stayed here with our pups for some hiking and relaxing. From reservation to check out everything was smooth. The place was very well stocked, clean and comfortable. There is a great deck with seating, grill and fire pit that overlooks the lake. The area is very quiet and peaceful. Waynesville is close by and is also a dog friendly town. Everything you need for a relaxing visit to the mountains.

I had a wonderful experience from start to finish. The accommodations were beyond my expectations and the Walkers had provided everything we needed, along with a very helpful and informative binder that answered any question we would possibly have from where to eat, hike, and entertainment in the area, to how to operate things in this cozy studio apartment! We were beyond comfortable here and would highly recommend this place.

We arrived at night and no porch light was on. It was difficult to see the code area on the door. When we entered the apartment the musty odor hit you in the face. The owner had plug in's placed in the kitchen and bathroom to try to cover up the smell, but it made it worse. The Shower in the bathroom was so small you could hardly turn around in it. The apartment was decorated cute and had everything you needed for the most part.We were only without a T.V for one evening The remote on the T.V. needed batteries and her husband brought them down to us when we asked. The owner gives a $10.00 gift card to a local restaurant which is a nice touch towards your meal.
