The property was a beautiful old time lake home.

Can’t emphasize enough how great the location of this cottage is, especially if you have children that want to use the amenities. This is the second time my family has stayed here and both times were a pleasure! We fit 11 people comfortably. This location has everything you need for a great stay.

The location was our main motivation. It was close the location of the meetings. The view was great! And the home worked for our needs. We would do it again!

The hosts went above and beyond to make us feel at home and make the renting process accessible and smooth. Would recommend to anyone looking for amazing location (walk to put put & playground with kids, kayak rentals, walking trail, two on-site adult bikes, nature trail in the neighborhood, 5 min driving to Publix / restaurants... I could keep going). Will stay again. Zero red flags or complaints. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

This rental was just what the doctor ordered. Fantastic views and location. We had the best of both worlds. It was sunny and pleasant one day and beautiful snow the next. We cooked, fished, rode bikes around the lake, drove to Cherokee which was a short distance away and just relaxed. We had everything we needed except more time here. All the bedrooms are very comfortable. It got really cold the night it snowed and we had plenty of good heat and extra blankets. The huge windows in the living room and master bdroom were such a delightful plus! We enjoyed awesome sunrises right from bed. I also loved the downstairs area as there are plenty of games to play and extra space. My feisty chihuahuas enjoyed meeting fellow canines strolling by. Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful home. We'll be back!

We spent a month at this delightful rustic home with large open windows showcasing the lake and just a few steps to the Rose Garden. The amenities are first class and plentiful; Enjoyed cooking with the Cuisinart cookware and having lunch and dinner on the front walk listening to the geese and cicada. while moon watching. Couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you Leah and Brian for your gracious hospitiality.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. Great location with amazing lake views! We loved the games and mini golf items available to play! The kitchen is well appointed, comfortable beds and bedding, and nice decorative touches. Thanks again for hosting us!

Great house - perfect size and layout for our family! Incredible view of the lake and convenient location. Definitely hope to book this house again for future trips!

This was our second year to stay here: a most convenient location and lake view.

having visited Lake Junaluska every year on our trips to the NC mountains, we finally found a home that we thought we would enjoy staying at. Boy were we right! The house is exactly as pictured, just the right size, perfectly comfortable in every way and the view can't be beat! Hope to spend more time there in the future!

This home was a prefect fit for us! We had multiple generations of our family meet at Lake Junaluska for a week (like we used to when we were kids). We had 3 families stay here, and it was perfect because the bedrooms are kind of divided into 3 sections. The huge master bedroom right off the kitchen and dining room was great for one little family. The biggest family split the other two upstairs bedrooms which you access in a little hallway behind the living room. My crew was down in the basement bedroom. This setup worked perfectly for us because we were able to enjoy being together in the spacious kitchen/living/dining area, but we also could have some quiet if we needed it. The little playroom in the basement was a great surprise for our kids. They also loved walking the path behind the house to the side yard. They called it the “secret passage” because of the beautiful ivy that is there. We spent a lot of time in the side yard watching over all the activity of the lake. The huge windows in the living and dining room also give you a gorgeous view of the lake. This house is also about as close as you can get to the playground, pool, putt putt, tennis, canoe rental, etc. It is on a loop/one way street which was nice and safe for the kids. Our kids had the best time together this week, and my generation of cousins got to see why our parents/grandparents made our trips to Lake Junaluska as frequent as possible. Enjoy some good old fashioned family fun in this super clean, well stocked, and well kept house. You won’t regret it! We will most definitely rent this house again, but we will have to beat out my cousins for it. They were super jealous of our find!

Our family had a fantastic visit to The Gingko Cottage. We were very impressed with the cleanliness, furnishings, comfort, and location of the house. Leah and Brian have taken great care to provide lots of extra touches like coffee, toiletries, and chocolate treats. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were very clean. The kitchen is well-appointed with all the necessities. The home is surrounded by beauty on all sides and we loved relaxing and unwinding each day to the sounds of nature and the peacefulness of the lake view. It's is in a perfect location for just hanging out at Lake Junaluska and nearby downtown Waynesville or for a base spot for venturing farther afield. We enjoyed trips to nearby Maggie Valley and Cherokee to see Soco Falls, Pisgah National Forest for a few short hikes, and Asheville for shopping and dining. A few local spots that our family really liked were The Buttered Biscuit, Frog Level Brewing, Waynesville Pizza, and Lakeside Bistro. And, of course, morning walks around the lake each day were not to be missed! We loved our trip to Lake Junaluska and our teens are already asking to go back soon!

Great house, well-provisioned, fabulous old architectural character, in a super location in the Lake Junaluska community with great vistas to the lake and easy access to the native gardens.

Great place to stay very close to lots of family fun activities. Beautiful views. Having a full kitchen was important and the kids enjoyed the air hockey table.

We loved the house overlooking a beautiful view of the lake. Lots of restful places to sit and enjoy the view and enjoy each other. Very comfortable house with attention to little details and artistic touches throughout. A great choice for us!
