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!

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.

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.

Beautiful place to enjoy Lake Junaluska

The owners of this beautiful renovated home maintained the charm of a home built 100 years ago while giving it an incredible designer look with all modern conveniences throughout every room of the house. The kitchen is amazing and had everything we needed to prepare meals for our large family. We so enjoyed socializing and reading on the deep front porch with a lake view. It was just perfect!

Location! Location! Location! - Run, Walk, Pickleball

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.

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.

A perfect family get-away!

We so enjoyed our week in this beautiful home! It was just as lovely and elegant and comfortable as it looks in the photos. We made good use of the kitchen and the front porch and the fire pit in the backyard. The beds were so comfy, our grand boys LOVED the kids’ room, and there was plenty of room for our big family! Lake Junaluska was cool in the heat of summer and a great landing spot for day trips out. We walked around the lake nearly every day. Can’t wait to return!
