We loved our long weekend getaway! This was perfect for great views and perfect amount of space. This home had everything we needed wish we could have stayed longer. Owners reached out to make sure we were good and to let us know they were there with just a phone call!

This lake cottage was perfect for just the two of us and a well behaved small dog. Mother Nature put on a beautiful springtime show.

This lovely vacation home is a place I will definitely revisit over and over again. Whether siting outside or inside, the location is perfect to relax and enjoy the view of the lake. The house is just a short walk to the lake and to other activities around the lake. Its home away from Home.

8/10

Lovely place and the location is amazing! Perfect if a very firm mattress is what you prefer, unfortunately it's not our preference so sleep was challenging. Property is changing owners so changes may be made. We'd definitely consider staying here again despite the extra firm mattresses.

My husband and I rented this property while visiting our son and his family who live in Clyde. We were so pleasantly surprised when the accommodations completely exceeded our expectations! What a lovely spot with everything that you need! The views and location are the best! We will definitely return! Thank you to the owners for maintaining such a great place!

10/10

We loved everything about our 5 day stay. Western North Carolina is so beautiful and one of our favorite places to be. Being able to walk all round the lake is unusual as no houses own the lake front. We enjoyed the coffee shop and Crepe and Custard, and eating in Waynesville in the evening. The home had plenty of room and was very comfortable, We were lucky to be able to have a quick chat with the owners, on their way out.

10/10

We hiked daily in the beautiful Pisgah National Forest (they allow dogs) each day and at night came home to a comfortable, relaxing Lakeview for the evening! Also took a walk around the lake each day on a wonderful paved pathway. The house is fully equipped inside and a lake view patio outside as well as a sun room on the other side of the house with a different view of the lake. We have stayed here several times and will be back!

Very clean and accommodating. We enjoyed the location also. Would not stay here again because the living room furniture and bedroom to the right need replacing due to age and cushion comfort. Other than replacing the coffee pod machine with a higher quality one the other areas were alright.

We do love staying at Junaluska Escape. The home has been refurbished & looks very nice. We liked having the extra 1/2 bath. The Lake Junaluska grounds are always beautiful & perfect for walking. The back yard view is exceptional. Hope to one day get there when the leaves are perfect. Tks again.

We love this small, safe community. The home itself has beautiful views of the mountains and so many amenities to accommodate our needs during our stay. The furnishings are homey providing relaxation and recharge in comfort. We cook our breakfast and dinners in house. We spend our days hiking in the mountains and evenings walking around the beautiful lake. So much to see and do within minutes of this location. The owners are very sweet and kind. We were able to chat with them for a few minutes this visit. We have stayed here multiple times and have reservations to come back. So blessed to have a retreat like this available!!!

This was my second time here. The location was a short walk to my meetings in Stuart auditorium. The views of the lake from the front yard and the backyard are perfect, and the yard is beautifully cared for. Inside the house is warm and cozy and has everything you need for your stay.

The moment we walked in we felt like we were in heaven. This apartment provides the most beautiful views which there are no words to describe. Charlotte and Wilson are such gracious hosts.
