Wedding Trip

The property was as shown. Plenty of space and bathrooms for us. Only issue was a noticeable smell in the home, all of our clothes smelled “musty” Great location, driveway is tricky and had a huge hole at the bottom. Otherwise great place to stay!

Quaint and Quiet

This home is adorable and cozy. Close to town and other amenities. We didnt realize it was 1.5 hours from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, but we made the trip 2 times while there. Great spot for fishing. Home is spacious and beds were comfy! Would love to stay again when we come to this area!

Staying in the Ark

We enjoyed our stay at Lake Junaluska. The cabin was nicely furnished and clean. We were unable to use the fireplace because of a large mirror standing in front of it. There was also a large wrapped item in front of the mirror. We felt there shouldn't have been personal pictures everywhere. We have stayed at other cabins and never had family pictures before.

Not the Ark - Hickory Hill House

Our stay at Hickory Hill House (which was graciously substituted for the Ark) was great. The home is lovely - very spacious and well appointed. There is plenty of parking. The sunroom on the back of the house was our favorite spot. The one small downside to the property was it's location near a highway which gave us some road noise at times.

Rustic log cabin right by Lake Junaluska

The location of this cabin was perfect, we were just steps away from Lake Junaluska. We took morning and afternoon walks around the 2.3 mile lake loop, had coffee at the Lake's coffee shop & swam at the community pool. The lake also offers rentals for canoes, kayaks, paddle boards, minature golf & other activities. The cabin will make you feel like you area away in the woods. You are also very close to all of the quanit towns; Asheville, Waynesville & just a short drive to The Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

A Charming Cabin

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It is a cute place that accommodates a large family. It gives the feeling of a true cabin that has many amenities. We loved its proximity to everything, situated right by beautiful Lake Junaluska and right in between Waynesville and Maggie Valley. The managing office personnel were very responsive and helpful. Would love to come back with the family.
