Couldn't have asked for better!The home was exceptionally clean, very roomy, and so well-stocked with everything we needed - kitchen essentials, towels, extra blankets, you name it. The location was super convenient to everything but still quiet and relaxing. We felt right at home from the moment we arrived. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend!

You couldn't have a better place to stay, especially if you are going to be visiting Waynesville or Maggie Valley. Close to both. Loved the location and Ms. Katy was a pleasure to talk to she was a very great hostess. Her home is very clean. She got back real quick to my questions.Will rent again in the future.

Pet friendly place in a great, quiet neighborhood, walkable (with hills) to the lake. The cottage was very nice with comfortable furnishing. The Spectrum TV streaming app provided was very limited so be sure to take your Netflix and Prime video credentials so you can access your accounts.

Nice stay

The house is well appointed (with everything you need for a home away from home) and close to the lake. The beds are super comfortable, and the owner was great to work with. If you are planning a trip to the area, this is a comfy and nice place to stay.

Great stay

This is a great location and stay if you're traveling to Lake Junaluska or surrounding area. The owner is a text or email away with any needs or questions, making sure her guests are taken care of. I can't say enough good things about this clean and spacious property.

Comfortable and convenient

We enjoyed our stay so much - the weather was a great break from the heat and humidity in Florida. The house is comfortable and convenient to all Lake J has to offer; downtown Waynesville is less than 15 minutes away.
