This was a lovely place to stay with my family. We enjoyed the beautiful view of the lake with a gorgeous sunrise view. The walking path around the lake is also a plus. The kitchen had everything we needed to entertain our large extended family. We enjoyed lots of time on the spacious decks and family room with fireplace. We will be back next year for sure!

The property is truly a beautiful place with stunning views over the lake. We especially enjoyed the modern bathroom and kitchen. The only disappointment was absence of aluminum foil and no salt & pepper in the fully stocked kitchen. We just wish we knew what to bring. The place is very clean, cozy. The beds were super comfortable.

This house was perfectly positioned to enjoy the best features uf lake Junaluska. We enjoyed the close proximity to the pool, ice cream shops, and kids park. The best part of the stay was enjoying the view from any room. Truly one of the best views of lake Junaluska. We will definetly be booking again.

Sara's Place

The location was great for us. The facilities were spotless and well-equipped. The four teenagers especially liked having their own space upstairs. I loved the antiques that were in the house. I selfishly would like to give this place a bad rating so others wouldn't want to rent it. Then it would always be available for me when I wanted a get-a-way. I'm already planning my next trip there.

Time to unplug

We loved our stay at Sara's Place. What an amazing view of the water, the birds and beautiful hydrangeas this week. The decks were perfect for breakfast and watching the lake. The upstairs bathroom has been recently remodeled with a huge tub with a stunning view. Kitchen was beautiful and nicely equipped. One thing to know... one of the bedrooms is only accessible through another bedroom. It would be great for kids, but very awkward for all adults. I would definitely stay here again.

The house was nice and clean. However, there was not a hair dryer. I know sounds silly but they listed one and there was none. I messaged the host, probably AI, to get one. They said the local team would bring one by. Never heard from them for 3 days. I had to purchase my own. Don’t promise something and then don’t deliver. Terrible service!! We will never stay at that house again.
