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.

Great space for family visit
This house was perfect for our family. We were in town for a wedding and we enjoyed cooking meals and sitting together in the main room and on the deck to visit. I didn’t remember the note about no towels and lines when I made the reservation, but Kathy sent a reminder and when I had a question about it, the reply came within minutes. Would absolutely recommend this property.

Good enough, if you are okay with a man in basement and lots of pet dander.
The size is good, but the level of pet dander made some in our group uncomfortable. We don't like the idea of bringing our own linens. It's an older house, and showing some wear. We like the natural light. In the upstairs bed rooms, we had trouble finding a comfortable temperature for sleeping. We had children with us, and don't like the idea of having a man in the basement.

Family Weekend
Our family spent the weekend in Maggie Valley . The house was warm and welcoming . We built a cozy fire one evening while playing games and drinking hot chocolate . The house was close to the main road in Maggie Valley , shopping, restaurants , tubing within minutes. Kathy’s communication and consideration went above and beyond . We are hoping to return next year !

Maggie valley Ski spot
Excellent communication with Kathy, both before the trip to make sure we were aware that linens were not provided and at the end of the trip when we did a last minute request to have a later checkout time. The house was clean, well stocked for a weekend of cooking needs. The beds were all comfortable. The large table made for nice meals together and the living area was perfect for game time. Great neighborhood for a walk and close to Cataloochee for skiing.

Nice house, clean. Really close to neighbors. Wasn’t a big fan of bringing my own linens, towels, dish cloth,etc. There wasn’t enough toilet paper. And check out wanting you to make beds empty dishwasher and still charge $90 cleaning fee! Thanks for the stay but 1 and done!

Exceeded Expectations!!
Frim the day we booked this property until the hour we locked the door our stay was perfect. The house is super spacious with plenty of room for 4 house guests as well and an additional 4 that joined us for a cook out on the large deck. The house had everything we needed to be comfortable and safe. An unexpected joy was the communication with the owner, Kathy. She answered every question we had and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was first rate. A bonus was the beautiful mountain view from the end of the driveway. I am putting this property on the top of my favorite VBRO mountain property list. I will DEFINITELY be back!!!

Nice house/great location
We stayed here for the lake junaluska conference. It’s the perfect house for convenience to the lake and is minutes away from Waynesville and Maggie Valley, and about a 30 minute drive to Asheville. We thoroughly enjoyed the large and shady deck, and even though it’s in the middle of a neighborhood it still felt very private and peaceful. Older style house is charming and had lots of room for us (3 couples and our mom). Our mother enjoyed a bedroom on the main floor with its own bathroom and she was able to not have to deal with stairs to get to the deck since those were on the main floor. We really appreciated the extra parking space our host made, plus if you happen to have a mini-cooper/smallish car, you could pull one car up as far as the parking area will let you, then just park the little car behind it, so we were able to accommodate our 4 vehicles! The only suggestion to our host would be to label the light switches lol! We had a great time here-thanks again 😁

Nice House
The house was very nice and big enough for us. The living area was great for gathering each day. Cooking and dining were very nice. Location was perfect. The only glitch in the stay was with parking. When we arrived we were not aware that there were full time tenants in the lower section of the house who had half of the four parking spaces reserved for them. The reserved spaces were not clearly marked nor were we aware that they were reserved so we parked in one. When the tenant came home he was not happy. The only other item was that the outside deck was not very inviting. We also could smell smoking from nearby.

Disappointed
The most disappointing aspect of this stay was the condition of the furnishings. The living room furniture and beds are in a very shabby state. The property should have all new bedding, and living room furniture to qualify for the price I paid. Also the "instructions" for the vacating the property made us wonder exactly what the "housekeeper" does to earn their salary? We have stayed in VRBO offerings in that area numerous times but this is the first time to be disappointed with a property.

Quiet Mountain Getaway
Quaint, quiet, cute and clean mountain cottage rental off the lake, very quiet with an overhanging roof on the front porch if you want to sit outside and watch the summer storms roll through. Bedrooms were decorated nicely, kitchen was well stocked with dishes etc. and there were plenty of cozy chairs and a big couch in the living room to sit and chat with a glass of wine before bed. *Note: Be sure to remember that you must supply all of your own sheets and towels for this rental (we flew in from Oregon and didn’t see this detail on the VRBO listing, uckily my sister noticed it at the last minute and was coming from her home an hour away and could bring all our linens with her) and also note that there is a downstairs renter in a unit at this same property. They took up 2 out of the 3 parking places for this house and also walked out and smoked cigarettes first thing in the morning on their lower patio while we were enjoying our morning coffee on the upper deck. Otherwise we were happy with the rental.

Spacious house, but lacks basic amenities
Open floor plan, spacious. Unfortunately there was no toilet paper in 2 of the 3 bathrooms, the third bathroom had barely any left. There weren't even paper towels in the kitchen. There also wasn't any hand soap in the bathrooms. I've never rented a house before that didn't provide the basics. The owner requested us to bring our own sheets - how absurd. You can rent the sheets for $20 each! So the owner will nickel and dime you, but then won't provide the basics. We all had allergies in the house, probably the old carpet in the bedrooms. The rooms are spacious but we weren't exactly comfortable. Our friends were in a house nearby that was cheaper, had sheets and much more comfortable. If you have other options, please book elsewhere.

Awesome Easter Weekend
The home on Littleton was better than we could have imagined, it was wonderful. The house has plenty of room so that you do not feel like you are on top of each other (we had 4 adults and 1 child). The layout of the bedrooms and family room are genius with plenty of comfortable recliners, rocking chairs, a comfy sofa and a dining room table that seats 8 with plenty of elbow room. The house sits on a quiet street with not much traffic with a less than 5 minute drive to be at the lake. The house is dog friendly. You would never know that dogs had stayed in the home prior to your stay, it was very well cleaned and maintained. The back deck is secure on all sides allowing dogs to enjoy their freedom of not being on a leash (if they are big enough to not fit through the spacing on the deck railing, my husbands service dog is of medium size, about 35lbs). The owner was grecious and accomidated our requests for an early check-in/late check-out. There were plenty of activities over the weekend to keep all of us busy. The 5K, The Easter Egg Hunts, both Sunrise & Traditional church services, Easter morning & afternoon buffets and a beautiful Spring Day walk around Lake Junaluska. We created lots of memories and have declared that staying at Lake Junaluska will now be our new Easter Tradition. Thank you to the owners for allowing us to stay in your wonderful home.

Fantastic Family Weekend at Lake Junaluska
Every year, my three sisters and their spouses celebrate our family with a reunion in a rented home centrally located to our home addresses. Of the many places we have stayed, our weekend at Lake Junaluska was our best experience. The home was beautifully appointed, spacious (and including two ground floor master suites for our older sisters and partners), warm and inviting for sharing conversations in a cozy circle in comfortable living room seating, and our host, Kathy, was immediately responsive in all communications -- offering flexibility in all details, including our rebooking after Hurricane Helene. The Lake Junaluska area is beautiful, especially the overlooks across the lake and mountains and the well-used paved walking/running tour around the lake. Beautiful and so relaxing. We highly recommend this home and will definitely be back next year!
