Lovely setting
Comfortable place and beautiful setting overlooking the lake. The guest lounge was especially nice. Unfortunately, the dining facility is under renovation, so the breakfast buffet was only adequate. It should be completed soon.

A great family experience
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our little get away here- we were able to relax on the beautiful lake back in September and the wonderful hotel offered a great breakfast buffet. The lady at the front desk was an absolute doll our entire stay

It was a very peaceful place. Unfortunately there were blood stains on the sheets, and no microwave in the room. Rooms are a bit outdated, staff is great.

A pleasant and friendly stay.
We arrived on Friday night for a funeral in the chapel mid-day on Saturday. Since we met extended family there, we were delighted with the beautiful lobby area with a fireplace and comfortable furniture. The person who checked was in and out was outstanding - efficient and friendly. The room had a view of the mountains and lake. The king bed was very comfortable. The pillow choices were limited. The linens were very good. The breakfast was a bit better than traditional hot breakfast buffets. The staff member was eager to please the guests. My only disappointment was the coffee. It was weak and tasteless. The bathroom was dated but clean. I would reconsider this hotel to anyone visiting Lake Junaluska. I would strongly recommend clear signage to the hotel and parking. Trying to navigate that in the dark was frustrating and could have been dangerous.
