This property was very clean and as described, inside. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I could very easily hear the upstairs neighbors even though they weren't being noisy and because the walk from the sidewalk to the front door of this unit was slightly treacherous or could be for some people. It's an incline and only partially paved (with pavers) and the plants around the area were leaning over the pathway. If the path could be a little better kept up, that would be helpful. I stayed here while attending a retreat at Lake Juneluska and it was within easy walking distance. I appreciated being able to get away by myself at bedtime.

Great location but accommodation a little issues hear and there.

The studio, I guess you would call it was ok. I’m assuming it was a garage conversion to a studio. The floor was concrete and had rugs throughout. Mostly to cover the cracks in the foundation. Not much of privacy when going to the restroom, but since it’s the wife and I was ok. The main issue was the bed arrangement. The headboard wasn’t attached so it banged against the wall everytime you flipped over to try and get comfortable. The bed itself was pushed completely against the wall so me a 52 year old guy had to climb across from the foot of the bed to get in and out. And to get up in the middle of the night to go woke my wife up everytime. Should have at least maybe centered it to at least be able to shimmy your way in. But there were pipes there and I now understand why it was where it was. But minor issues but wanted to point them out.

Beautiful view!

Perfect for a short stay when you’re not planning to cook much. Driveway is a little steep for a senior but perfect location. I would highly recommend this studio.

Everything was great, I enjoyed my stay. I might would suggest that in the sitting/bedroom area, there possibly be a table/desk be put on the left wall coming in. This would be helpful for laptops or possibly to eat on. The chair could be moved at the end of the bed by the opening going into the kitchen. You could also watch TV better.

Great Week Away!

This is a wonderful place for a married couple to stay! My wife and I were very comfortable in this "cottage", and we enjoyed relaxing and talking in the chairs on the deck porch with a gorgeous view of the lake and mountains! Everything in Lake Junaluska is easily available without steep walks. We very highly recommend this rental!!
