Our property is very old and passed down from one generation to another, and some of the original features and charm were left during renovation. With that, the original fireplace is non-functioning, although there is central heat (and cooling)!

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.

We had a wonderful week-long stay at this peaceful place. 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.

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.
