Really nice house in a great location. We loved the cabin feel off the inside. It was a good size for our family with each of us having our own bathroom and space. We will certainly recommend it to people who may be coming to the area for a visit.

We had a group of friends stay in this cozy cabin for the weekend while we attended an event at Lake Junaluska, which was within a beautiful 30 minute walk around the lake or a 5 minute drive. We recieved several emails up until our stay from the rental company to help aid in check in and check out. Overall, the house was very cute and felt like staying at your grandma and grandpa's house. It was very homey. There was enough space to park 3 cars, though we did have to play Tetris to make sure people could get in and out. The driveway is a little hard to see when coming the way the GPS took us, and was a little steep and gravel. We ended up spinning our wheels in the gravel towards the bottom a couple of times, but made it up after that fairly easily. As a bigger person, the stairs were a bit narrow and didn't feel as wide as normal stairs. They were manageable, but took some getting used to. The toilets were also small, but that's personal preference. The beds were a little firm, but not impossible to sleep on (again, personal preference). Other than that, it was a comfortable stay and worked for our needs.

We really enjoyed the property, and our family was very happy to have 3 bathrooms.Two living areas and a washer and dryer were just what we needed.The only thing I didn’t love was the narrow unpaved driveway that was a little difficult to see entering and exiting.

A rustic Cabin with country charm. Walking distance to Lake Junaluska and great access to transportation routes to all things in Western NC.The 4th Celebration was spectacular!Great restaurants nearby highlighted by Fat Buddies in Waynesville, and the Buttered Biscuit in Lake Junaluska.Rental communication was exceptional and responsive.
