About Vivian Morgani

We are the Morgani family. My husband and I have been together for 21 years and married for 19. We both have a long history in the area. My husband, originally from Jacksonville Florida, has been coming to the Smokies his entire life. Looking through family albums, pictures of Autumn in the Smokey Mountains are a standard. His family and friends have come up every year for more than 40 years, giving us a lot of insight into what a person needs for a good vacation rental. I am a Navy brat, traveling and adventure is in my blood. Born of a Spanish mother and a North American father, I've had the good fortune of doing a lot of traveling, to be exact 43 countries with many good and bad experiences all over the world. My husband and I meet in Jacksonville waiting tables while we attended college. We started dating 11 months later and the rest is history. We both have a great passion for nature. We would come up to the Blue Ridge to camp as often as we could throughout the years. If it involves waterfalls, wildlife, beauty, gentleness and clean air, we love it! After dating for 2 1/2 years we knew that we had found our life partners so when we decided to get married, there was only one choice for us. We eloped to the Blue Ridge Mountains, got our marriage license in Henderson County and exchanged our vows on Frying Pan Mountain on the Blue Ridge Parkway. In attendance were our three fury children, two friends and mother nature, perfection. After college we decided it was time to figure out where we wanted to live, again, the answer was obvious to us. We moved to Asheville, NC in 2004. Reese is a Realtor that works all the surrounding areas and has enjoyed success due to his vast knowledge of his field but also because of his passion for this area. Because of our love of travel, staying in many vacation homes, campgrounds and hotels, we decided to offer up our home as a vacation rental and share a slice of our heaven.

Why Vivian Morgani chose Waynesville

Lakes are few and the opportunity to have a home with incredible views and access was too much for us to resist. Convenience was a major factor, equal in importance to beauty. You are centrally located and can access it quickly. This home is in the heart of Lake Junaluska with two large crosswalks that lead you straight to the Lake. There is a 5.6 mile walk around it, mostly flat, that is so scenic it will make your heart hurt. Swans, geese, nature and charming well maintained community surrounds you. We are in the Lake Junaluska Association so you can rest assured the community is well maintained. Straight across from the golf course I can watch my husband while I drink my coffee on the patio. With my hip problems this one level home is a must. Although the home sits atop the hill, Links Lane is our and the neighbors access only. Once up the driveway the parking, living and viewing areas are flat and easy. Parking is in the back of the house and unloading suitcases or groceries are a breeze. The home has an ample heating and powerful AC with wood burning fireplace. The floor plan is perfect in that all living space is on front side of house with entire house lined with windows. It's convenient to all roads and major highways access, you won't get snowed or landlocked. Sure during traffic hours there is noise traffic outside the home. We don't mind some traffic noise in exchange for 180 degree views and ease of living. Hospital and medical care within 10 minutes from home. New Ingles grocery is a fast 5 minute trip as is the K-mart, restaurants and amenities. Super Walmart, is a 10 minute drive at most. It is located 29 minutes from downtown Asheville and 10 minutes to many towns and attractions

What makes this House unique

I just can't say enough about the views in this home, you get a taste of it all. Lake Junaluska, golf course and Smoky Mountain views. Lake Junaluska community offers many amenities and events that harken back to Norman Rockwell imagery. The air is fresh and the water is clean. I can sit in the morning watching the swans and geese in the Lake while the dew steams off the golf range. We have tried to make the home modern and very clean. All towels and most linens are 100% cotton. We created a coffee center to free up kitchen space and offer both a stand-up bar table and mid-century tuilip seating set to interact in. The dining room table has an additional leaf to expand should you need the extra space. The living room and dining areas are wide open with the kitchen centrally located giving a bit of separation but keeping the living space communal and inclusive. The home is stream lined and polished while maintaining a prop your feet up and enjoy attitude. The wood burning fireplace is stunning and is made to pull up chairs and relax. When I walk into this home I feel like I can relax. It is easy to maintain and spacious. Want to go see the Elk, golf, hike, drive out to the Cherokee reservation/Casino, Ski or have many scenic routes to drive, 28 Links Lane is for you. Another great asset is that Asheville is only 28 minutes away which means world class Art galleries, dining and events are close by. The Asheville Airport is convenient and so is the outlet mall. This home is located conveniently for a traveler, whether you want to just sit, recoup and enjoy the views, discover charming surrounding mountain towns, visit farms, hike, fish or get into the electric nightlife and Arts in Asheville.
