Просторе, добре облаштоване помешкання. Дуже тихе місце. Були наявні всі необхідні для відпочинку речі, в тому числі на пляжі. Басейн був дуже брудний, оскільки над ним дерева та іспанський мох. Комахи падали з дерев, а вони не дуже маленькі. Скарги результату не дали. Ми були з трьома маленькими дітьми, вони боялись залазити в такий басейн.

We stayed there for The Salvation Army Bible Conference in Junaluska. The view was magnificent. The most beautiful place to spend quiet time with God. It was so close to everything. We would definitely come back
Marie H.
August 2026
The location was perfect. The furnishings were great. The house and landscaping was beautiful. This was hands down, the best property we’ve stayed at in the area, especially for the value! We’ll book again next year for sure if it’s available.

Absolutely loved our stay! 😍 The house was so peaceful and beautiful—I was honestly in AWH! 🥰 The screened-in porch was my favorite spot to relax and enjoy the quiet. Everything felt so cozy and welcoming. We had such a wonderful stay and would definitely come back! ❤️

We loved this lake cottage! The kitchen was stunning and the front porch with the rocking chairs was so relaxing and peaceful for our morning coffee/tea! We would def rent this cottage again!
Therie S.
August 2026
The hideaway was just as described and a prefect mountain getaway. We enjoyed the beautiful view and walks around the lake, and the many activities in and near the area. Brian’s place had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway and he was very prompt when communicating. Finding the place and getting checked in couldn’t have been any easier and stress free!

Beautiful home! The view was stunning! Me and my family enjoyed staying in this beautiful home. We enjoyed mostly the view and how nice the weather was. Had no issues with this home and Brian was very responsive and friendly! Would recommend to anyone who wants to do activities or just enjoy the view and relax! Would love to stay again in this beautiful home!

The house felt just like home. It was very clean and organized. The location is fantastic. Lake Junaluska is an active area with lots of things to do. Brian responded very quickly to all my messages and was very positive and kind. I would definitely stay there again.

Disappointed with this Airbnb. Dirt, dust & spider webs through out this home. Carpets were filthy and windows/headboards covered in spiders and webs. There were towels in the dryer upon arrival, the furniture has a musty smell & sticky feel, pet hair all over the floor, the ice maker was broken/frozen (we fixed), the exterior dryer vent was clogged & things weren’t drying (we fixed, fire hazard), & the front storm door wouldn’t seal well. Several lamps flickered & wobbly switches, lower bedroom handle almost fell off(we fixed), front porch was covered in leaves & spider web making it unusable. Finally, 8 months ago when we were initially asking about details, we messaged Brian & referred to 489 S Lakeshore but he never corrected us that it wasn't that property. The previous renters had similar comments but it was too late for us We Love the area but this unit has serious cleanliness & mechanical issues Clearly the cleaning crew needs oversight & on-site inspections by people

We had a wonderful stay for our family reunion! The home was a great place for everyone to gather, and the beautiful mountain views made it feel extra special. We especially loved the screened-in porch—it was the perfect spot to relax, enjoy the scenery, and spend time together. A lovely home in a beautiful setting, and a great choice for a family gathering!

We had a lovely stay here, the room was spotless and felt like home. The view of the lake from the loveseat in the room while drinking our morning coffee was so relaxing. I would definitely stay here again while in town. Brian is a great host too.

We were very happy with the house location and setup as far as beds/bathrooms/space. The downstairs couch was covered in pet hair. While we have pets, but did not travel with ours, I prefer not to find pet hair on the seating. Our son's comforter had a dried white substance we could not identify the first night, so we washed it before bed. There was some hair in the shower drains. This is my frustration with properties managed by companies rather than people. We had one issue with a door and Brian promptly and respectfully sent someone to fix it. We ran out of paper towels (beginning with 1/4 roll) and there was none to replenish. The loop is a perfect location and close to the lake/walking path. They have a hummingbird and bird feeder and we loved the porch. There was an old pair of boxers in the wooden box next to one of the beds. My husband disposed of it so our son didn't have to sleep next to them. Spoons, jewelry, water bottle, and baseball under another bed. Toilets backflow.

August 2026
This stay was perfect! We spent a lot of time on the wrap around porch rocking and listening to the creek sounds. Kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals and there were plenty of supplies provided to get our trip started. Super cozy top level for hanging out and loved the open concept with fireplace. The pictures do not do this place justice! Our teenager loved having his separate space downstairs. The downstairs space has super comfy couches and a nice TV for movie nights. The location was great.. nice to be tucked away up in the mountains but close to great restaurants and hikes. Don’t let the drive times deter you as we spent a good amount of time traveling the blue ridge parkway to get to lookouts/hikes and it’s just a beautiful drive every time! Highly recommend the trip there devil’s courthouse and the hike up to see an amazing view and Waterrock Knob to catch a sunset. We are already planning our next trip up and have definitely found a new go to place!

Beautiful home! Excellent host! This is an airbnb that you will want to book repeatedly. Just a short walk to the beautiful lake! So charming, peaceful, and quiet...exactly what we were looking for...thank you Brian!
Leah H.
July 2026
We absolutely adored our stay in Waynesville! What an incredible view to wake up to each morning! It was perfect for our mother/daughter trip! We loved how easy it was to access the walking path around the lake as well. I don’t think there is a single thing we would change. Everything was spotless, the bed was SUPER comfy in both of our opinions. (That is hard to come by LOL.) Brian was an excellent host and was always very quick to respond to any questions we had. Thank you again! We would come back 100%!
Michele H.
July 2026
Loved this place! Very clean, shady, and peaceful. Firm mattress which is our preference, so we got great sleep. Absolutely loved the bike and walking trails! Host (Brian) was friendly and always responsive to my questions. Our only wish would be for a little more sunshine at the pool. Some shade is nice and we loved how shaded the trails and surroundings were especially in July heat, but one small open area for sunbathing at the pool would have been nice. Otherwise; all was great and we would definitely stay again!

Brian’s place was the perfect getaway for my husband and I to celebrate our anniversary. The views were beautiful and the house had the perfect amount of space for just the two of us. Brian was always super responsive and was overall a great host. Thank you for sharing your place with us, Brian!
Courtney G.

Brian is an excellent host. He responds expediously to any concerns and makes ur stay feel like his priority. His unit has everything u would need for a comfortable vacation. If u like tennis or pickleball, u can pay for clinics or private lessons at the Amelia Racket Club which is steps away from the unit. I played every morning and met some wonderful guest on vacation. I would book here again and recommend to others.

June 2026
The apartment was smaller than I expected after seeing the pictures but it is thoughtfully laid out and demonstrates a good use of space. The bed was firm but comfortable and there was a good stream of hot water for nice, soothing showers. At times there was noise from the home above. The view of the mountains in the distance and the lake just below you is stunning! Unfortunately, just across that short expanse of lake , which is only a few hundred yards wide, is a 4 lane road with a constant flow of traffic. So, road noise was always audible in the background and, at night, headlights coming at you were always visible when you sat on the outside patio after dark. That being said, the apartment served my purposes well since it was within easy walking distance of a week long Tai Chi conference I was attending. So, in the end, even though it was not quite the relaxing mountain experience I had hoped for, I did receive the one thing that was most important to me. Convenience of location.

Lori S.
May 2026
This was absolutely the cutest, picturesque, peaceful getaway!! There was a BROAD view of the lake AND mountains that beckoned you to “sit and stay” a while, a little table and chairs on the patio for enjoying coffee and watching the chipmunks, birds and the swans gracefully swimming in the lake!! You step inside to the living area with sofa and chairs and a breakfast table with a large window, as well as double doors with windows that provide the same viewing from inside if that is the preference. Beyond is a bed with kitchen area and bathroom with walk-in shower — everything essential in a compact but comfortable space. A small restaurant within walking distance on site offers a variety of delicious crepes, sandwiches, ice cream, etc. And there is a comfortable walking track around the 200-acre lake with amazing vistas of the lovely homes, manicured grounds and breathtaking gardens and flowers!! Just a spectacular place and broad selection of activities.

This place was great. Clean, great view, and great customer service from the owner. It is part of the house above but we barely heard anything while there. It was a very peaceful place to stay. We love Lake Junaluska and would recommend this place for a couple’s get away. The bed was firm but comfortable. Great patio area to sit and drink coffee and listen to the birds while looking out at the beautiful lake.

This was our first time to the area and this villa was a perfect location and size for us. The resort itself is lovely and so well maintained and manicured. Brian’s place is set back in such a quiet and peaceful setting yet has all the convenience of being a part of a larger resort. The villa itself is very comfortable and clean and very well stocked. We were able to use the beach wagon, chairs and toys for our grandchildren and ourselves . We were very happy with the bathroom, beds and furniture. The best part about it though was Brian himself ! So responsive and helpful!! Thank you so much for everything, the only thing we would have changed was just a little warmer weather !!!!! Ha ha ah.

My boyfriend & I came here to celebrate his birthday and go snowboarding at the ski resort. We really enjoyed ourselves here, it felt like home. It snowed so much and it was so beautiful to see the lake covered in snow. We ended up having to park down in the parking lot otherwise we’d be snowed in haha! Overall great experience I would come again! The only thing is the water in the shower didn’t stay warm long enough but I’m sure the weather contributed to that. Thank you for having us!

The place is cozy and comfortable, free of clutter, beautifully decorated, and well equipped with kitchenware. The pool is right out the door and the tennis courts are very close. Nice walking and bike paths all around the area. The Omni Resort is a few minute drive or a quick bike ride away. The place is actually within the Omni Resort gated area. I highly recommend this place! Brian was very committed to making sure we had a great stay. He checked in with me prior to check in, once I got settled and before checkout. We had no issues but I am confident that if a guest ever did have an issue, Brian would be on it right away. I know this because he made sure we were happy after check in and made sure to say if we had any problem at all, let him know. We would 100 percent book this place again.

It was our first stay at Brian's place and it exceeded our expectations. The design of that small living space is so creatively envisioned that it does not feel small at all. The shower is amazing, the bed is luxurious . . . the view is unsurpassed. A three-minute drive to the LJ golf course was perfect, since we planned our trip around golf. We look forward to visiting this wonderful space again for sure!

This is a definite 5 star most efficient and just lovely little Airbnb. Perfect for 1 or 2! Location was perfect for our needs and that lake view is 5 star rating in itself. Comfy bed and nice linens/ pillow was a plus! Would definitely stay here again!

Brian's home was an amazing place to stay and visit Lake Junaluska and the surrounding area. It was peaceful, within a short walk to the lake and had access to all the amenities that we would need. Downtown Waynesville with many shops and restaurants was within a 10-15 minute drive, as well as great grocery store options. Access to the Blue Ridge Parkway was nearby as well and the highlight of our stay. With a modern, spacious layout, 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, and a full sized kitchen and dining room, this was one of the best AirBnb's we have stayed. We will surely book this home again!

This was our first visit to Lake Junaluska. The house was situated on a lovely no thru street with the entrance to the Native Plant Garden a few houses away. The Lake was also a very short walk and has a walking trail that goes all the way around. It was a perfect morning walk. The house was exactly as pictured, historic in nature but with upgraded, modern kitchen and baths. The whole area was very peaceful and relaxing. Waynesville’s historic downtown is only about 10 mins away and has many great restaurants, coffee houses, and breweries if you want to step out of the serenity of the Lake neighborhood. The other valley towns of Magggie Valley, Cherokee, Bryson City, and Sylva are an easy drive for further exploration. If you’re a hiker, there is a Blue Ridge Parkway entrance a short distance down the road and many great nearby hikes….the mountains are beautiful. Our stay was relaxing and peaceful, but also with lots to do. Brian was five stars +. We will definitely be back!

The location on the water was the highlight of my stay, and the interior was extremely clean and everything looked brand new. In my opinion the bed was medium firm, but felt like a good, fairly new mattress. I brought my thin air mattress for backpacking just in case and ended up putting that on top and it was very comfortable, but I like beds that are quite soft.

A beautiful location and very cozy house! While the space is relatively small, there was enough space for luggage and the couch/table area was awesome to relax in. Such a gorgeous view from the house, and we really enjoyed sitting outside by the fire pit. Amenities were perfect, and the shower water pressure was great! Brain was very communicative and friendly. Would stay here again. The only thing that would make it better was if the bedside lamps were a warmer color temperature. Thanks for a great stay!

This home was absolutely stunning! It was perfect for a cozy romantic getaway. The views of the mountains over the lake in the mornings were spectacular. The surrounding community is very peaceful and everyone was friendly. It is a close drive to multiple mountain towns to explore as well! We will certainly be back next time we are in the area.

Brian's place was lovely to stay at! The view and surroundings were beautiful on the lake.We made a fire but had trouble starting it so I would recommend bringing your own starter and kindling. The rental is situated right near a Christian camp with private residences with a 11pm curfew. Brian was very responsive. There is a lovely waking path and crepe restaurant on the lake we went to twice! We went to Frog-Level Brewery for dinner in Waynesville and it was a great atmosphere! Would definitely return!

We had a wonderful stay! We had planned to spend more time in Asheville but chose to stay in Lake Junaluska and Waynesville because there was so much to do and so many great restaurants to try. It was so great that we could walk around the lake and go to the water to rent kayaks and paddle boards without having to get in the car. The patio space was a great outdoor oasis where we could read while looking out at the lake. Definitely plan to return next time we are in the area!

Tucked away in a Methodist camp, this hideaway had a lovely view and was super quiet— we slept so well here! Convenient to Waynesville and about a 30 min drive to Asheville, it is a good base for a visit to western NC.

Brian was an excellent host. We came to Florida to do a beach vacation with our kids. We enjoyed the quiet and relaxing atmosphere. The beach was awesome not too crowded. The place was clean and quiet. We will definitely keep this place on our list when we decide come back.

My wife, I and our pup Ruby stayed at Brian’s Happy Hollow home in July ‘25. We initially reserved for 4 nights but ended up extending our stay to 6 nights as we loved the area and home so much. We would have stayed longer if we could. It is a wonderfully beautiful location and the home is just lovely and cozy. Perfect place for a retreat from the summer heat of Florida (and elsewhere). Brian was amazing. Very responsive whenever we reached out with a question or request.

Wonderful and peaceful location. Very nice pool. Open living and kitchen space. Large and very nice bedrooms/bathrooms. Mattresses were not comfortable; Both bathrooms do need updated shower heads. That would create perfection Being next to wooded area was wonderful but mosquitoes were very bad. We had to be careful with opening/closing doors.

View of the lake and mountains was super nice and peaceful. Decor was cute and homey. Efficient layout. Location was convenient to join our family members for a weekend at Lake Junaluska. We prefer foam beds rather than spring beds, so the bed wasn't what we would consider super comfortable for 2 people. Other people may prefer this, though.

Our stay went very well. It was very clean quiet and we had a beautiful view. Very easy access and directions were very easy to follow. I really appreciated the communication. Directions and instructions were spot on and communication was immediate. It really bothers me that so many people lack communication skills. That was not the case with Brian. We were there solely to visit our granddaughter but really appreciated having our own quiet and relaxing time when we were not with her. Five star. Thank you Brian

The place was in a great location and it worked out great for us. The place was clean and had everything we needed. The only slight downfall was the comfort of the beds and the cleanliness of the pool area. I’m not sure the owner has much to do with the cleanliness of the pool but there didn’t seem to be much attention to the debris in the pool or the surrounding tables and chairs that are provided at the pool being wiped down ect. Other than that the place was a great place to stay and would recommend others to stay there as well.

We greatly enjoyed our stay. Very preaceful and quiet. Wonderful wide bike paths that we enjoyed every afternoon both within the resort premises and outside on the Amelia island paths. We actually e-biked to 2 different parks from our villa. There is also a leaf blower in the closet that worked wonderfully to clean all the sand off the 2 beach chairs and the cart. The rooms are located on separate ends with the kitchen and livingroom in the center which added even more privacy for our group. Best seafood restaurants we have found are Down Under and the Salty Pelican. We did not attempt to walk to the beach but chose to drive and use the pull off/parking spots based on neighbor’s recommendation . We always headed out by 9:30 so never had an issue with parking in those areas.

The location is absolutely perfect just a short walk to the lake, with beautiful views and a serene atmosphere that made it easy to relax and unwind. The place itself was cozy, clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Our host was incredibly responsible and attentive, always quick to respond and thoughtful in making sure everything went smoothly. They left a welcome basket with snacks, so cool! It truly felt like a home away from home. We would definitely love to come back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet, cozy getaway near the water.

The space was perfect for a couple people and just as described. It was also very clean and well stocked! The only downside was the amount of people at the nearby conference center which made the surrounding neighborhood really crowded. There were also workers on the back patio that took the only parking spot and could see into the suite. This all might have been circumstantial but it wasn’t quite the retreat we expected because of that.

This place is very cozy. All the beds are comfortable and the full three showers are really nice to have. We are five total and had plenty of space. The upgrades in the home make it so nice to stay here. The appliances are all new and the kitchen has all you need. We went skiing at Cataloochee and this home is only 20 minutes from there. The TV in the living room and upstairs were nice to have. The cleanliness of the place is top notch! I know a lot of people say it, but we would definitely stylist here again when we return to the area. This home will soon have 100+ 5 star reviews in no time. Brian is an awesome host and the place is well worth it.

This cabin is an absolute jewel. It’s been completely updated with all the modern amenities you could wish for, but still has the cozy, warm feeling you crave in a vacation spot. The kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked and have a very clean, modern appeal. The best part of this house is, there’s 2 primary bedrooms and en suite bathrooms. Perfect for families with children and friends wanting to spend time together. The 2 primary bedrooms are on different floors so your quiet time feels very private. Lake Junaluska is so beautiful and we visit often. Once you visit this area of Western North Carolina, you’ll fall in love with it, as we have. I highly recommend this cabin and can’t say enough about it. We’ll be back soon.
