Just Renovated Lakefront Home with Stunning View
About this house rental
Situated in Lake Junaluska, this attractive house for R 4,995 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home is the PERFECT weekend getaway, vacation stay, or location to spend the holidays. It boasts stunning views of the lake and the mountains across the entire front of the home, including in the kitchen, dining room, master bedroom, and bathrooms. The location is perfect! If you are looking to experience Asheville, it is only 25 miles from downtown. If you are looking for a quiet getaway, there are many local offerings to keep you entertained. Whether you are looking to visit the Cataloochee Ski Area in Maggie Valley, kayak on Lake Junaluska, visit the local shops in downtown Waynesville, or take an adventure to see the Biltmore House in Asheville- this home is just for you! The lake itself has a paved trail all the way around it that extends a little less than 4 miles. Other amenities around the lake include a large playground, tennis courts, mini golf, pickleball, sand volleyball, a basketball court, shuffle board, a fitness center, and a library. In addition, you can rent canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards. We just recently purchased kayaks that you are welcome to use as well! There is also a lovely golf course across from the lake (and others nearby). Lastly, we have several fun yard games to play on our large, flat front lawn. This home has a special story. Zac's grandparents built this home in 1960, and we just renovated it this fall. We are excited for it to stay in the family and make traditions and memories there ourselves in the coming years and now share it with you. We have worked hard to keep its character through the update, make it feel like home, and provide all of your necessities to make your stay wonderful! Please don't hesitate to ask any questions you have.

This pet friendly house was the perfect stay for our trip to the Polar Express in Bryson City. The house was lovely and gorgeously updated. We had great views of Lake Junaluska and enjoyed several walks on the paths in the community. The property is very convenient to downtown Waynesville and activities in Maggie Valley. Communication with the host was great and she took the extra steps to make the stay and experience great.
We are already looking forward to a return visit in the summer.

This renovated 1960 lakefront home with the open floor plan and gas fireplace is perfect for a family (5) to use. The view from the front of the house of the mountains and lake is wonderful! We enjoyed walking on sections of the paved trail around the lake ... so much to see in such a beautiful setting. It was an easy drive to Waynesville for the Apple Festival.

I cannot say enough good things about this house and area. We are 2 retired couples who spent a week there. The house is so comfortable and roomy that we had plenty of room without feeling cramped. We loved having the lake right in front of us and we walked around it everyday. Location is wonderful-just a few minutes from grocery stores and more. The hosts were the best we've ever had. Available and wanting us to enjoy our stay. House is well supplied with everything you need. We highly recommend this rental. Cannot wait to return. Waynesville has wonderful shops and restaurants.

Wonderful home with an incredible view! Very relaxing location, loved proximity to other attractions and loved Lake Junaluska. Great place to have a quiet walk while enjoying fantastic scenery. Hosts were very responsive to all questions.

We definitely enjoyed our stay at Lake Janulaska. The home faced the lake and our family enjoyed the amenities of the community and the lake itself.
The house was very comfortable and very well stocked, it was clear the owners had spent time making sure what renters would need was available.
Communication with the owner was easy and the response was quick, very friendly and concerned about our stay.
One suggestion: would recommend that the trash from previous renter be taken care of before trash day, perhaps an extra trash can.

This property was just as good as it looked in the pictures and then some. It was the perfect location to all Lake Junaluska has to offer, but was private and had a big yard where the kids could play. We even went fishing right across the street. Kathleen was very attentive and seemed to truly care about the guests having a pleasant stay and providing amenities that set their house apart from the rest. We enjoyed our stay immensely and will be back again. I highly recommend this property!

Nature is everywhere you look, and the people are very friendly. There is so much to do around the Lake and the surrounding areas. Home is very clean, comfortable and well stocked with supplies and amenities. The Owners are very responsive and helpful. There was a welcome gift bag with local items that was very nice. We also enjoyed going to the nearby sites (Like the Great Smokey Mountain Train Ride in Bryson City) and local restaurants in Waynesville. Lake J and the surrounding areas are a must see and hope to visit again!

Just got home and we're already missing it!
Nicely updated mid-century home on the best lot at Lake Junaluska!
I wish we could have stayed longer. It was such a relaxing trip. You cannot beat the lake and mountain views, nor the promixity to the walking trail. This is a very special spot.
We also greatly appreciated all of the helpful communication from the owners and how they stocked the home with everything you need.
We hope to return one day!!

We had the most wonderful stay. The weather was beautiful which allowed us to enjoy walks around the lake. The house was wonderful and the kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals. We cooked in several nights and enjoyed the lake view from the dining room. We had a birthday celebration and also had a friend join us for part of the week. It was a restful time, which we definitely needed. We will certainly be returning!!

We had a great stay (we stayed 7 days 6 nights)! The views of the lake were beautiful! Everything in the cabin was very clean and in proper working order. While we stayed we encountered some frigid temperatures -2 and the heat and fireplaces and hot water worked perfectly! We never ran out of hot water! Kathleen is so sweet and very responsive, and recommends new adventures. She is so sweet as if she is a member of your family. We even received a nice care package when we arrived with a bunch of local favorites coffee, soap, and local jam! The house is stocked with all necessities, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, zip lock bags, Saran Wrap and so much more. The house is in a great location close to everything (Waynesville, 30 minutes to Asheville, and 45 minutes to all our other favorite small towns). There is even a security guard who drives around the community to make sure everyone is safe! We are so happy we found this special place and can’t wait to start planning our next trip there.

If you LOVE staying right on a lake, with gorgeous mountains all around, then you should be very happy to stay at this beautiful home. My friends and I absolutely loved this house , with it’s 2 gas fireplaces, to it’s updated kitchen, to it’s gorgeous front yard- we were stunned at the beauty all around. Kathleen was SO available when we had a question. The established walkway took us around the perimeter of Lake Junaluska, for a gorgeous walk when ever we chose. Perfect place and perfect location!

We absolutely loved our stay. It was even better than expected. The house and the location could not have been better. Kathleen was a joy and made communication very easy . Not to mention all the extras that made it even more special. I picked this location as an in between to explore Asheville ,Waynesville and the Blue Ridge Mountains. Not realizing how much we would truly enjoy just being at the house and the lake itself! The furniture and beds were super comfy! And the yard was a great place for my miniature schnauzer to explore. Can’t wait to come back and stay longer. Thank You for sharing your beautiful home !

The property is well situated on a beautiful lake! We enjoyed daily walks around the lake & beautiful sunsets from the Adirondack right in the front yard! This retreat has all you need to enjoy a wonderful stay. Host Kathleen was so sweet and was available to answer any questions. Check in was perfect with well appointed instructions on how to work everything and where extra linens and towels were provided. Everything looks very new and clean! We enjoyed a kayak trip around the lake and nearby friendly restaurants and places to visit! We were welcomed with a nice gift gift bag of local items! what a special touch that was! We will be back :)

We could not ask for a greater location. There was so much to do in and around Lake Junaluska. We had a fantastic time and the hosts could not have been more gracious and welcoming. The home was as described and fully stocked with necessities! Easily our best trip ever!

Perfect Lakeshore Location
Our time together at the Lakeshore Retreat was perfect. The chairs under the ‘maple’ tree in the front yard are most certainly the best room in the house. You can sit, have your coffee, and watch the geese and walkers pass by every morning, afternoon, and evening. Waynesville and Maggie Valley are easily accessible as is the highway. The house looks out over the lake so there are always stunning mountain lake views for anytime of day.
The interior was immaculate. All the daily items you’d need are smartly arranged, and there are little placards of advice placed in different areas so you know what is included and how to access or use the different features.
Kathleen was an amazing host. She helped us through each step of the booking, check-in, and check-out process. She not only made these steps simple, her suggestions made our stay extra special. We feel like we’ve found a new home away from home in WNC! Thank you - Kathleen and Zac
