    Every aspect of this rental was flawless from start to finish. Communication with the owner was outstanding, the property was immaculate, and the guidebook was comprehensive covering both the property and the surrounding area. We specifically picked this property because we had such an outstanding experience the last time we were here, and we will rent no other place at Lake Junaluska but the Lake Life House!

    All the charm of a lake home in the mountains. Clean and cozy. Beautiful views and nature abounds. Tons of amenities. The lake community is only 10 minutes to Waynesville with restaurants and shopping. The lake is also close to the BR parkway if you enjoy hiking and sightseeing.

    The property is in an excellent location, just accross the street from Lake Junaluska! The house had plenty of space and all need cooking utensils, pots pans, bowls. My only negative but it could be just us. The bed and pillows were not comfortable. Iwould highly recpmment this place

    We had an incredible stay at this beautiful lake house! The location is unbeatable – right on the water, with a great view from sunrise to sunset. The house itself was clean, well equipped and just what we needed for a relaxing stay! The hosts were responsive and always helpful. This property truly feels like a home away from home. We can't wait to come back!
