Recent Lake Junaluska guest reviews

Dear Morris Villa Lower Team, My stay at the Morris Villa Lower Level was amazing. The location was right in the center of the lake life, close to the Illuminated Cross on the lookout point where the sunsets were like nothing Ive ever seen before. Overall a very nice home with plenty of nostalgia as its kept its charm from its original design with modern upgrading on the structure of the porch. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience. Best regards, Shaun Altiere

We had a Bed and Breakfast screw up our reservation and this property was able to get us in on very short notice. They were very helpful throughout the process after hours on a Friday. The property was great with an amazing view of the lake.
