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.

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.

This home is perfect for two couples or a small family with the bedrooms being separate from each other and two bathrooms.
