Haddock Haven

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

There is no place like Lake Junaluska when it comes to unlimited outdoor adventure and relaxation, so consider making your base at Haddock Haven, a spacious 1,350-square-foot gem located in the heart of the Lake Junaluska Community. *Please note this is the lower level unit of the home*

Whether you spend your days exploring the town or taking advantage of the lake access, greet each day with a cup of coffee in hand as you soak up the mountain and sunrise views. Stay close to home base and take a dip in the sparkling shared pool, show off your serving skills at the tennis courts on-site, or meander around the perimeter of the lake. During downtime, the chef of the group will love preparing tasty snacks and meals in the full kitchen, complete with modern appliances and ample cookware. Looking for something a bit more casual? Step out to the patio and fire up the gas grill to cook up some burgers and enjoy a beverage under bright blue skies.

Haddock Haven is in the heart of all the action, yet quiet and private enough to be that peaceful refuge to return to after each day. Book your stay today!

Home Away from Home

Stayed in this home for a church conference due to its proximity to the pool, tennis courts, boat rentals, and cafe. Perfectly located to walk to all the fun stuff Lake J has to offer! The home was clean and well stocked with kitchenware and TOWELS (don’t underestimate the importance of towels!). Cozy, comfortable, and perfect for our group of 5.

Adorable, well appointed, nice deck

This basement apartment was great for our family of 7 (all adults, 5 of college age). Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds (plus 2 rollaway beds), and air conditioned. Nice linens and towels. Beautiful, peaceful deck overlooking many old trees with a peek of the lake, perfect for morning coffee. Large refrigerator. Nice location, approx 15 minute walk downhill to the main activities areas (pickleball, tennis, pool, kayaks, etc). We enjoyed our stay!

Lighting for safety

Ideal location, clean. We were a group of older folks and we found the exterior stairs Slippery and dark. Cute spot, though.

Haddock Haven, a haven indeed.

Before we even stepped foot in the door, the attractive landscaping and beautiful view welcomed us to a mountainside haven. The home was decorated with more personality than many rentals. It was very spacious. The pictures don't do it justice. Although overall it was very clean, the comforter on one bed was not totally clean and there was some glitter on the deck. Recommended!

Nice not great

Great property. Very old, out dated uncomfortable furniture. Nicely stocked with everything needed. There were stairs going down to the second level main entrance that was not in the description of the property.

Not Handicapped Accessible

You must park on the street and the entry to the home is 12 stairs down and up. You should state that the rental is not handicapped accessible.

Very nice house

Rented this house for two of the families who came to a big family reunion at Lake Junaluska. They called it "a very nice house." I toured it before I rented it and found it to be attractive, well equipped, and very clean. The option of including two rollaway beds (which the family used) is great.

Family Vacation

We loved not having to clean the house before bringing anything in from the car. Even better not having to clean before we left. It was a real vacation for mom. We all had our rooms to recharge and we would like to reserve this house again if possible.
