There were a few things that we were disappointed with. You can not see the mountains from this house. It's like sitting in your living room at home. It is in a very quiet neighborhood. So it was a nice get away, I just wanted to be able to see mountains. Also the pillows are very flat. They need to be replaced. The sheets did not fit the king bed and they kept coming off. The porch lights(party lights) 1/2-3/4 are burned out. FYI Also We arrived at 3 o'clock. I know check in is at 4. We text, and asked if we could check in early. We had a 4 o'clock appointment so we just wanted to put our things down and leave. We were told no. I thought maybe they were cleaning the house , we went to check to see if we could find the property, no one was there. At that point, I wondered why we couldn't check in.

Great place! Loved how clean it was and the master bed was comfortable. A couple of observations: change out the master bathroom fan as it is loud and doesn’t work well; box fan in master bedroom- knob is stripped and can’t change speed; and the hot water kettle in the kitchen wouldn’t work. Thanks!

Comfy stay

Our family enjoyed staying at this lovely house at Lake Junaluska. It was clean and had ample space for what we needed as a home base. We loved spending time in the beautiful town of Waynesville and mountains nearby.

Nice Location, great parking

Nice place to stay. Well appointed kitchen, plenty of plates and cups for all. Smelled a little "doggy" but that is to be expected as it is a pet friendly listing (we don't have a pet). The bed in the master was too firm for my liking, but the other beds were comfy. The kids enjoyed the bunk beds. Nice big t.v. in the main living area. Outdoor porch is very good place to sit and enjoy the outdoors. Nice cool A/C inside. Great off street parking. Just a reminder for all who stay here DO NOT PUT OUT YOUR TRASH. It has to stay in the laundry/bathroom due to bears in the area.

Great place to relax

We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was nice and clean. Lake Junaluska was beautiful! Waynesville and Maggie Valley had lots of shopping and restaurants. SOCO falls was cool and the views on the blue ridge parkway were amazing.

Very nice place!

Great place to stay. The house was clean. It was nice! 2 things that need attention in my opinion... 1. The door was not shut all the way when we arrived so the house wasnt secure. 2. The coffee maker ruined one of our mornings! I dunno whats wrong with that thing but it brewed a pot of coffee all over the countertop. We were finally able to get it to work but i had stand next to it and make sure it was going into the pot. Then the pot was full of grounds so we had to filtet it again. Im sure this is not a big deal to most people but as addicted coffee drinkers every morning it was a pain. Replace the coffee maker! Lol. All in all it was a really great stay in an awesome location with scenic mountain views all around. Thanks for the stay!

Peaceful Retreat

This home was perfect for our family to relax, play number pool, and cook for everyone. The kitchen was equipped with plenty of dishes and utensils. I had never stayed in a pet friendly home before, and was a little worried. Twyla’s place had no evidence of pets ever being there! It was super clean! We also had access to the pool and putt putt course at the lake! What a fun trip!

Perfect House and Location with couple of caveat

The house is in a great location for activities around Lake Junaluska and Asheville area. Only two complaints though. First is that the trash can was full when we got there and so had to keep the full trash bags in the laundry room until the trash pickup on Wednesday. The fill valve in the master bathroom kept getting stuck. Had to keep opening the tank lid and pushing down on the fill valve float.

Had a great stay

Property was a close drive to walking path near Lake Junaluska. Was also close to several grocery stores. House was clean and well stocked. There is a gas grill that was ready to use. They had Corelle dishes, great because we have kids. Bed was comfortable. There was a guide book nearby with great info about the surrounding area. Will try to stay here again in the future.

Don't go before memorial day as this place is closed down. Don't go to fish - boat ramp horrible.

House was nice but the rest of the property amenities were abysmal. False marketing on fishing (don't take your own boat as you only have access to maybe a quarter of the lake (walk bridge blokes' access to main part of lake and boat ramp is terrible. Only caught one 5 inch bass. The amenities were closed down until after Memorial Day so forget taking the kids to the pool before then.

Central location

Central location to event we were vendors with. GPS took me to the backside of house so it took me an extra trip around to find the driveway. Comfortable home. Unfortunately we didn't get to enjoy the lovely deck, it looked very inviting. I did use the grill it was perfect for what I needed. We will consider staying for future events.

Twyla's Mountain Retreat

Property was clean and well stocked. Had 3 adults, a teen and a 10 year old and there was plenty of room. The area has nice restaurants along with skiing which 3 family members had fun doing. Owner recently renovated the property and did a nice job. Only issue was the Nest thermostat keeper dropping the temperature when you weren't expecting it. Understand why it is set but it is not effective for the guest.
