About this property

This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home is the PERFECT weekend getaway, vacation stay, or location to spend the holidays. It boasts stunning views of the lake and the mountains across the entire front of the home, including in the kitchen, dining room, master bedroom, and bathrooms.

The location is perfect! If you are looking to experience Asheville, it is only 25 miles from downtown. If you are looking for a quiet getaway, there are many local offerings to keep you entertained. Whether you are looking to visit the Cataloochee Ski Area in Maggie Valley, kayak on Lake Junaluska, visit the local shops in downtown Waynesville, or take an adventure to see the Biltmore House in Asheville- this home is just for you!

The lake itself has a paved trail all the way around it that extends a little less than 4 miles. Other amenities around the lake include a large playground, tennis courts, mini golf, pickleball, sand volleyball, a basketball court, shuffle board, a fitness center, and a library. In addition, you can rent canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards. We just recently purchased kayaks that you are welcome to use as well! There is also a lovely golf course across from the lake (and others nearby). Lastly, we have several fun yard games to play on our large, flat front lawn.

This home has a special story. Zac's grandparents built this home in 1960, and we just renovated it this fall. We are excited for it to stay in the family and make traditions and memories there ourselves in the coming years and now share it with you. We have worked hard to keep its character through the update, make it feel like home, and provide all of your necessities to make your stay wonderful!

Please don't hesitate to ask any questions you have.

Home away

I love the area, but now I can include our home away from home ! The home was very clean, roomy, & homey. The location had easy access to the walking trail, to restaurants , and was as peaceful & quiet that I had hoped for. Thank you again to Kathleen Carswell for a wonderful weekend!

Absolutely Perfect

This was by far the cleanest rental I have ever stayed in. From the very beginning, Kathleen communicated with me and let me know all the details, even local recommendations and tips. Her friendly, warm demeanor made us feel like we were staying at a friend's house! There are so many things about this house that I love. The charming vintage feel is perfect (and the upgraded fixtures make it sparkle), and the setting is stunning. It's right across the road from the lake with mountains in the background. It's a beautiful view from the kitchen table. We cooked most of our meals at the house, and it had everything we needed (pans, utensils, oil, spices, etc). The beds were super comfortable and the furniture by the fire place was so cozy. The game table was a hit--our teenage daughters played for hours. It rained while we were there, so the closed garage was super convenient. I really can't say enough about this house and about Kathleen. She left thoughtful gifts for us upon our arrival as well--so sweet! I highly recommend staying here; you will love it. I can't wait to book it again in the future.

Perfect Place On The Lake!

The house and location exceeded expectations! Entire process was easy. Communication with the owners was excellent. The house was spotless and nicely decorated with attention to detail to make our stay comfortable. It was plenty spacious for our family of 4 adults and our beloved golden doodle. This was a big plus to be able to bring the family dog. The views of the lake were amazing and perfect spot to read. We appreciated that there was enough seating to be comfortable. One bonus that isn’t always common in the mountains is the driveway was flat and spacious. Can’t wait to return!

Birthday surprises

We’ve been vacationing in Waynesville for nearly 20 years. We’ve always stayed in mountain rentals. Lake Junaluska changed our plans. We fell IN LOVE with all the property has to offer. The house was clean and comfortable. Our dog loved the flat large front yard and we walked the lake route every day. Sunday morning we walked to the Crepe house for brunch. We couldn’t have asked for more and Kathleen checked in several times to make sure we were comfortable! We would love to visit again in the summer but it is already booked up. If you are thinking of renting this house, don’t linger! It is worth every penny and we look forward to our next visit.

Why they chose this property

We love this property and all that the area has to offer! This property perfectly suits any personality type. It is a peaceful setting with plenty of local entertainment, and it is also situated near Asheville that also has much to offer if you are looking to explore a larger city.

What makes this property unique

The most unique benefit of this home is its view of the mountains and the lake. The view never gets old. It is a great location all year- whether you are looking to ski in the winter, see the leaves and hike in the fall, have fun on the water in the summer, or see the Biltmore House at Christmas. You will not regret your stay any time of the year!
