My husband and I so enjoyed our stay in this lovely place and were grateful for the extra touches provided. The mountain and lake views were our favorite and we utilized the fire pit each night! The decor was so beautiful and everything very clean and comfortable. The private parking was right outside our door. Brian was very helpful with suggestions and very responsive. We loved the close proximity to hiking in the Smokies but also enjoyed a morning walk around the lake. Don’t miss out on the Crepe & Custard or the Twisted Spoke for dining. We will be back!

Perfect location for M28 camp!

We used this property to stay near our youth group that was participating in the M28 Church Camp. Walking straight from Shackford Hall to this property was perfect- both properties share the same parking lot!

About the host

Hosted by Brian Ellison

Host profile image

Our family lives north of Atlanta, GA and we enjoy sharing experiences in this cabin with other families. Lake Junaluska has a long and storied history with our family and it brings us great joy to share that history and experiences with others that are enjoying the area.

Why they chose this property

This area has been frequented by our family for over 100 years and we've had the opportunity to make so many lasting memories here.

What makes this property unique

The property was completely built out during COVID and offers a very rare and unique view of the mountains, lake, and golf course. Not very many homes include views of all three yet alone have a fire pit to sit and enjoy!
