I had a great stay at this hotel, conveniently perched on a hill right next to the lake. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was exceptionally friendly. The location was perfect for activities around Lake Junaluska, especially for the Balsam Range event I've been attending for four years. However, the available dining options could be better, and while the amenities were nice, there were a couple of shortcomings. Overall, it’s a good value for money considering the location and comfort.
