I stayed here for a conference from Sept 24-27. This is the 3rd year I have attended this conference and it has been held here every time. The view of the lake is beautiful and there are lots of things to do within driving distance.

The lobby is nice with lots of rocking chairs to look out over the lake. The staff is all very friendly-from the cleaning crew to the lunch servers. The check in/out was very easy and quick. They also had fresh coffee all day.

I stayed on the 5th floor...The room is VERY BASIC. The pillows and mattresses are just about on thier last legs and really need to be updated... but the sheets and towels were all very clean, no stains or discoloration. There is no hairdryer in the room...(which I had forgotten, so I had wet hair the whole time). Also, it seemed the air was cut off at night. Both my roommate and I would wake up around 2am feeling hot and smothered but by 5am it had kicked back on and was cool again when we woke up.

Lunch was ok. I LOVED the pecan pie and the salad bar was very nice but the main entree food was not what I would have picked to feed a huge group (broiled fish)...but that is not the fault of Lake J, but more on the conference committee.

The land is very well maintained and seems very safe. The are always people walking around the lake which is full of ducks, geese, swans and HUGE fish. There are beautiful rose bushes and bridges that form a 2.5 and 5 mile loop that you can take advantage of.

Although the rooms are in need of a little tlc, this is a great conference center that I enjoy returning to year after year.

Have stayed there three times and family loves it. Stayed in apartments each time which are not at all fancy but clean and have kitchenette. If you want something a little more upscale then stay in one of the hotels. Beautiful lake, grounds, nice facilities, a man made waterfall where bridge is with picnic area and stream down below. To us is great place to stay and is convenient to so many attractions and cities in the area.

Before planning a senior adult retreat for the older adults at my church, my husband and I went to Lake Junaluska to see the property. We were most impressed with everything we saw. The rooms in the hotel are being refurbished and we stayed in one of the finished rooms. The bed was very comfortable and the view of the lake out our window was breath taking. The sun setting on the lake is such a beautiful sight. Next time we will do a sunset cruise on the lake. The restaurant food was very tasty and the waitstaff were so friendly. You really felt like they were glad you were dining with them. We will be going back with our group in October. I am anxious to be in this beautiful location when the trees are spectacular. I am excited to share this with my group.

Lake Junaluska provided an excellent location for our annual family reunion. Our large family was able to rent out an entire building, the Lakeside Lodge, which included a large common meeting area for everyone to gather. While the place is quite dated it was clean which is the main thing and the beds were comfortable. Very nice swimming pool area. We rented a canoe and they also have paddle boats. There are also nice walking paths. We also reserved a large gazebo for a meal.
