We had an incredible stay at this beautiful lake house! The location is unbeatable – right on the water, with a great view from sunrise to sunset. The house itself was clean, well equipped and just what we needed for a relaxing stay! The hosts were responsive and always helpful. This property truly feels like a home away from home. We can't wait to come back!

Location was terrific; very convenient to shopping and eating. The view from the house is gorgeous, and the walk around the lake is steps away from the house. Very clean house and well stocked. We’re returning next year!

Our stay at "Lake Life" was simply incredible. The cottage was extremely clean, beds were comfortable, everything was top quality. The location couldn't be better - convenient access to Waynesville and Maggie Valley and literally steps away from Lake Junaluska and a wonderful 2-4 mile walking trail along the lake. Of the dozens of VRBO's we've stayed in, this was simply the best!
