Recent Lake Junaluska guest reviews

The home was cute, like something out of a fairytale. We had everything we needed. We’d definitely stay there again.
Terri L. | May 2026
I had a great week-long stay at the Mountain Peace II cottage. Everything was just as described and as shown in the photos. The amenities were really nice, so it felt like I was at a remote mountain lodge without missing any comforts. Kitchen provides utensils and plates which was convenient. This place was just what I needed for solo retreat trip.

Perfect for our weekend trip with 3 adults. Very cozy and warm. Love the wrap around screened in porch. Would for sure rent again!
