About this property

Adorable Lake Junaluska Cottage! Book your Smoky Mountain getaway now!

This quintessential Lake Junaluska cottage is surrounded by trees, lush landscaping and singing birds to enjoy while you are on the screened in front porch. The cottage is part of the Lake Junaluska Assembly but far enough to be out of the congestion of the conference center and close enough for a nice stroll to the lake and activities.

The updated kitchen has a 5-burner gas cooktop stove, built in oven, microwave, a nice quiet Bosch dishwasher, stainless steel refrigerator, and a double sink with disposal. The well-appointed kitchen comes with all the supplies a novice, or a chef would need on vacation including full sized coffee pot, toaster, blender, chef and steak knives, a hand mixer, garlic press, zester, juicer, numerous pots, pans, bowls, a Dutch oven, cutting boards, and serving ware. In addition to the standard serving ware pictured, there are dishes/cups/cutlery for young children, and outdoor acrylic plates, and glassware for dining al fresco. Basic spices, hot cocoa, hot tea, coffee, coffee filters, foil, saran wrap, and other kitchen essentials are provided along with cloth napkins, placemats, dish towels, paper towels, dish soap and dishwasher detergent.

The cozy living room is furnished with an antique hutch where you will find the 32" TV with Roku and sound bar for streaming your subscriptions, games, an echo dot, records and a Victrola record player with Bluetooth capabilities allowing you to play your own music or to throw on an old classic! There is large leather sofa with throw pillows and blankets, and a coffee table perfect for game night with the family. Or you may want to cozy up in the rocking chair next to the stone fireplace with a glass of wine reading one of the many books on the bookshelf- it's the perfect spot to unwind!

A washer and dryer is located in the master bath and supplies are provided for your convenience during your stay. Each bathroom has a heater/ fan exhaust, comes with a hair dryer, hand mirror, cotton balls, Q-tips, make-up wipes, toilet paper, soap, shampoo, conditioner, bath robes, slippers, and bath linens. Each room in the cottage is equipped with a ceiling fan, luggage rack, and sound machine. There are three space heaters, a large permanently installed window AC in the dining room along with a Rinnai furnace to keep it warm in the cooler months.

During the summer and fall months, guest will have access to an outdoor dining table and chairs, fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs, and a charcoal grill (wood and charcoal available but not guaranteed) For your convenience as well, a cooler with wheels, Turkish pool towels, pool floats, and a wagon to carry your items on the short walk to the communal pool are all provided. For those who want to enjoy peace and quiet on the lake, two kayaks are available at no additional cost! (This is $30/hr savings! Guest must transport to lake.)

This home is perfect for two couples or a small family with the bedrooms being separate from each other and two bathrooms. Plus, the proximity to local attractions whether you are headed to the Lake Junaluska Conference Center, Pool and Tennis Courts, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Maggie Valley, Cherokee, Western Carolina University, or you want to venture to the Biltmore in Asheville, everything is just a stone's throw away. It's a perfect escape to the Western Carolina mountains!

Great location for a week in the North Carolina mountains
Lake Junaluska is a great area to stay during a visit to the mountains of western North Carolina. This house is located in the nice, quiet Lake Junaluska neighborhood and it's an easy 5 to 10 minute drive to grocery stores, department stores and restaurants in Waynesville NC. Great location. We really enjoyed our stay.

Couldn't ask for a more cozy place to stay
This house is perfect for a cozy place to stay while traveling around the Smoky Mountain area. It is centrally located to hit all the big areas, Ashville and Gatlinburg, without all the tourists. Lake Junaluska is just down the hill. BEAUTIFUL. The owners have made available all the amenities of home. Just perfect!

Great Location for a Cozy Getaway
My wife and I enjoyed our stay immensely. The place has a really cozy feeling, with a perfect mix of antique furniture and modern conveniences. The host was wonderful and it was well stocked with just about everything you could need. Just bring a suitcase and some food and you are all set. We stayed in October and the weather was cool, but not really cold. Not sure how well the heat works in very cold temperatures. Also, as with a lot of rentals, the mattresses leave something to be desired. Overall, we had a very good experience and the location is absolutely perfect for getting away without being too out of the way.

Loved it
We had a wonderful time at Bearcat. Lake Junaluska has so much to offer and Bearcat was close and central to everything. The cottage was well stocked with everything and anything you could possibly want. Ashley was very communicative and helpful with anything we wanted or needed. You should put this one on your list.

Host profile image
I am an avid traveler who loves to cook and entertain! I was literally supposed to be Julie on the love boat with a splash of Martha Stewart after receiving my degree in Hospitality Management many years ago from Western Carolina University but after a couple of years serving in Americorps NCCC, and living my whole life in Atlanta, I found myself living out West. WNC has always pulled at my heart strings though and after lot of hard work was fortunate to purchase my home here at Lake J! I'm very excited to be surrounded my such beauty here and look forward to hosting you!
