Cozy and feels like home, in a great area! Fantastic place to have family or a place to spend some alone time. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! Very quiet and peaceful! Friendly people all around, nice neighbors! Close to lake, it offers everything you need, a home away from home.

Beautiful property

I held an event for my academic organization here and it was the perfect space. Multiple rooms to mingle in, ample sitting space, and a large kitchen for hosting dinner. The decorations were cozy and everything was very easy to find! The perfect place to sit and watch the birds or the lake. The host was easy to reach and very sweet, I look forward to booking here again in the future!

Just a lovely home!

This is our second stay in Alice's home, and we'll be back! The house is perfectly suited for several couples with plenty of cozy spots to perch with a good book or conversation. We love Lake Junaluska, have been visiting the area for many years, but lucked out when we found this home that works for everyone. Just a terrific vacation for all of us!

Enjoyable

Again we enjoyed our stay at a great, beautful location as was the weather, temps and home. Great for family gatherings younger than 80+. The lounge furniture is particularly elderly conducive but even so we enjoyed our stay immensely. The porch and watching the birds were delightful. Daily walking the streets/hills was enjoyable. The golf course is close by with good variety hole challenges and area views.

Kind Owner, Nice Spaces

My 2nd stay at this home. The neighborhood and area are very nice. The best part of the home are the sun rooms and outdoor spaces. Yes 2 sunrooms! Two decks also, one is screened making an enjoyable area to spend time. The kitchen is nicely equipped. The home is older and in need of some updating but a nice place to spend a vacation at Lake Junaluska.

Birdwatchers Paradise

This home is in a quiet neighborhood and a short walk to Lake Junaluska. The kitchen was very nice. We spent most time in the sunroom off the side of the house looking out to the deck and covered porches. It was like being outside with a very comfy couch and an ample supply of birdseed. So even though it was a wet weekend it was very nice. Huge rhododendrons in front of the house and throughout the neighborhood were alone worth the drive.

Relaxing and Refreshing

This place is perfect. It has perfect spaces for allowing time together and time to yourself. The screened in porch provides a wonderful spot for birdwatching and reflexing while taking in the fresh mountain air. The sunroom off the main bedroom allows one to relax among the trees. The kitchen island is the spot for cooking and dining as a family. The round dining table transforms beautifully into a space for playing games and creating great memories of laughter. Our family will definitely be coming back to this house again. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!

Beautiful cozy home with gorgeous mountain and lake views.

My husband, I and little pup Charlie really enjoyed our time at this beautiful house. The house is located just about a block from the lake with gorgeous mountain views from just about every room. They have a bird feeder that attracts the most beautiful birds we've ever seen. The house had everything we needed and more. We enjoyed walking around the lake daily. You'll have to try the crepes at " Crepes & Custard right at the lake. While we usually stay in Maggie valley this time, we decided to do something a bit different We were so glad that we did. It was really nice to enjoy Lake Junalaska so close by. Alice, the host answered any questions we had and was very helpful and courteous. We would definitely recommend anyone staying there and look forward to visiting this gem again!
