Welcome to LET HOPE ABOUND! Whether you are looking for comfort while on a golf trip with the whole crew, need a place for your family at a local wedding, hikers/skiers & kayakers want a comfy spot to land at the end of the tiring day, or just need a place big enough for the whole family for the holidays and/or family reunions....you have found your spot! We will not bother you with many rules, but one we have to enforce is NO PETS ALLOWED. We do that so that all guests can be comfortable and not be concerned with pet allergies. Thank you for your understanding!

From the moment you walk up the steps and you see the oversized front porch facing Lake Junaluska, you know you are home. As you enter the front door of this newly renovated 100+ year old home, the stone fireplace & gorgeous stairway greets you with warmth & hospitality. The dining room to your right that seats 10 says I am ready to serve you! As you pass thru the Butlers Pantry with beverage fridge and glass front cabinets into the gourmet kitchen, you realize you have found the heart of the home. While hosting a wall of windows overlooking the Smokies in the distance, this kitchen can accommodate the best of cooks, as well as the cooking novice. Between the beautiful cabinetry, stainless upscale appliances, including a pot filler, quartz countertops and the gorgeous live edge shelving and center island that seats four, you have plenty of room to cook, create, serve, chat & let those helping you cook, have a drink at island while you steal the show! Off the kitchen is a large deck for grilling and enjoying the view! Thru a short hallway by the staircase, that leads you to an amazing primary suite downstairs, which ensuite includes marble flooring, large double vanity, private water closet, spacious shower and walk-in closet! And, now, finally, you get to climb the gorgeous staircase that leads to an upstairs landing that offers 3 full ensuites and an adorable bunk room for the kids, or kids at heart, with twin beds. Each room has the original windows and views that bring the outside in....

As for outdoor space and fun, as mentioned earlier, there is a deck off the back of the home ready for grilling and sipping. Also there is a firepit area with large rocks for extra seating, but adorondacks for more comfy seating while making your smores. Whether you want to try your hand at tug of war or corn hole, that choice is yours. But enjoying that peaceful view off the back is one of my favorite things to do!

If you want to go for a swim in the community pool, or try your hand at pickle ball or tennis, putt putt or other activities that the Lake Junaluska community has to offer, there is a family pass for 6 that allows all of that free of charge. Canoes and kayaks can be rented as well. Lake Junaluska's Golf Course is right across the street from the main entrance and there are several other golf courses within a few miles away. Go into charming Waynesville and tour some local shops and enjoy the local eateries and ice cream at Kilwins! Maggy Valley is right down the road as well other adorable and quaint towns that offer so much fun for exploring and finding that perfect antique! Lots of options for white water rafting, but don't overlook the Nantahala Outdoor Center - Nantahala River Rafting.

This home was built in 1916 and we are only the second family to own this property. We were honored with the task of bringing laughter, love and hope back to these four walls that were ready for that next phase. This renovation project began in 2022 and it has truly been a labor of love, taken a little longer than expected, but we think the end result has been worth it. We hope you enjoy your stay and truly LET HOPE ABOUND while you vist our Lake Junaluska home....that would make our heart happy!

    We enjoyed every moment of our stay here! Beautiful property with modern renovations and an old charm. The mountain/lake view from the porch is stunning! Excellent choice for a large group of people or a family retreat. Highly recommend!

    We were at Lake Junaluska for my niece's wedding. This home was absolutely perfect and met all of our needs. The beautiful bedrooms had comfortable beds and linens. The bathrooms were large enough for giggling bridesmaids to get ready. The kitchen was well equipped with dishes for indoors as well as outdoors. We spent most of our time on the spacious front porch, taking in the view of the lake.We will definitely be back!

    We loved staying for a family wedding weekend in Lake Junaluska. The house was beautifully updated with every design detail carefully thought out. The renovated kitchen was fully stocked with anything needed. The bedrooms were comfortable and well appointed. Our family favorite was the fire pit in the back yard and the view of the lake from the large welcoming front porch. This home is at the top of our list for a family vacation rental and hope to stay again.

    This home is beautiful and very thoughtfully laid out. The kitchen is amazing and we really enjoyed our stay. We were there primarily for golf and the area has some great golf courses near it. We also enjoyed walks around the beautiful lake every day.

    Beautiful home. Well stocked kitchen and linens, toys for the kids. Plenty of seating areas. Puzzles and games were added fun. The front porch was a highlight. Comfortable seating that is shaded and overlooks the lake. We were in town for a wedding, but would definitely stay here again if we were to return.

    This house is beautiful and works perfectly for our large family. The spacious, well-stocked kitchen allows for preparation of family meals and the dining table accommodates all of us for meals, for socializing, and for cards and board games. The porch is deep and wide and allows for yet another space to gather—even if it is raining. The host has paid attention to every detail and is very responsive.

    Let Hope abound is a remarkable rental property. Everything about it is furnished beautifully, with a top-notch kitchen and top-notch bedrooms and bathrooms. I would highly recommend it. Our only difficulties related to the lack of a stair rail in the front of the house And some slippery flagstones in the back due to a lot of rain, but if you don't have older family members with mobility challenges to worry about, you will really appreciate staying here

    This house is truly exceptional! It was very clean. It had everything we needed and more. Instructions were easy to follow and the host was responsive. The house is so charming and so well done! It’s much more like a magazine feature than a rental property. The view is beautiful! We all agreed we would love to live here and joked that we should go back and downgrade other properties we’ve stayed in after experiencing this one! Haha

    What a jewel!!! This house has everything needed for a stay at Lake J....the owner has clearly put a lot of thought into what guests need. Great communication, easy check-in/out. The porch provides a great space to sit and enjoy the beautiful lake view while sipping morning coffee or reading a good book!The fully-stocked kitchen is amazing, with up-scale appliances and everything one needs for preparing meals. All bedrooms are tastefully appointed, with extremely comfortable beds. Let Hope Abound was a perfect fit for our family. We've already booked a stay for 2026!

    This house is amazing! Not just because of the views and the proximity to the walk around Lake Junaluska, but the inside has been perfectly remodeled. You will not regret staying here. The owners have made sure that you have everything you need so that you don’t have to bring the kitchen sink with you! We will definitely be staying here again. We had seven people here and did not feel like we were on top of one another. Great times and memories made.

    This was our second stay at Hope Abound for several reasons. The home itself it large, clean and has everything you could possibly need. The location is excellent! Overlooking Lake Junaluska, the views are spectacular and whether you are a walker or a runner, the loop around the lake is awesome! There are several public Pickleball courts available for a pick up game with friendly players looking for a game.
