Things to do
Lake Junaluska is packed with handsome attractions
The Lake Junaluska Conference and Retreat Center is what put this charming, chestnut-shrouded mountain town on the map. One of the major event venues for the Methodist faith in this corner of America, it's often host to speakers and workshops. Anyone can visit though, and it's certainly worth touring the pretty gardens and lakeside jetties. The heritage-rich likes of Lambuth Inn and neoclassical Shackford Hall are also both National Register of Historic Places worth photographing, while the World Methodist Museum means pious exhibits that are open to all.
Activities
Loving mountain life in Lake Junaluska
Lake Junaluska vacation rentals are all about balancing the spiritualism of the mountains with adventure in the great outdoors. Some travelers will opt for contemplative meditation sessions in the inspiration gardens that pepper the water's edge. Others will tour the charming Methodist chapels and attend wellness conferences in the meeting rooms. Others will wax down the walking boots and hit the surrounding peaks, seeking out crashing waterfalls, whitewater rapids, bear-stalked caves, and dense American forests. And that's not even mentioning the boating trips and kayak rentals, the local eateries and festive markets at Christmas time.
Weather
Enjoy spring in Lake Junaluska
When the chestnut forests and multi-colored foliage around the Blue Ridge Mountains blooms in May, Lake Junaluska vacation rentals are often at their most coveted. It's easy to see why. Between then and late July, all the iconic hiking trails and mountain biking routes of the Great Smoky Mountains and beyond are at their finest, while temperatures in the 70s mean the perfect conditions for bobbing on kayaks, or lazing on the grassy banks soaking up the North Carolinian sun.
