Family-friendly holiday rentals in Lake Junaluska

What a wonderful stay! The yard is perfect for relaxing and for our pups. This stay has everything you could need. It is only a short drive to Asheville, and there is an Ingles market super close. Beth was very friendly and a great host. We would absolutely come back and stay here again :)

This cabin was the perfect base camp for a week of biking, hiking, and trail running. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our own meals (but lots of options within a 20 minute drive when we didn't feel like cooking!). We enjoyed being able to bring our dog along with us, and he loved getting to sniff around in the woods by the house. We hope to come back!

Grace is an absolutely amazing Airbnb host with an incredible level of hospitality! Without a doubt, the property was the cleanest I've ever stayed at. Every amenity was exactly as described, if not better, and the entire property was not just clean, but truly pristine and thoughtfully set up. Grace was also incredibly responsive to messages and very helpful, offering lots of fantastic recommendations for the area. I highly recommend staying at her property—she truly goes above and beyond, you won't regret it.

Great spot and Brett was a wonderful host. Everything was exactly as I expected and I got to enjoy a stress-free and problem-free time away from home. Will definitely stay here again.

Cute and quiet place to stay for a long weekend. Hot tube was nice to have to get in after a long day out and about.

A classic cabin in the mountains. I was worried the WiFi would be spotty but it was great! The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The views are beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed our stay!

Our stay was fantastic! The location was beautiful and the home was clean and very comfortable! We quickly felt at home. Jeff was very clear on instructions, everything worked as it was supposed to, and he was responsive to any questions! It was a great way to embrace the smoky mountains with a little less tourism and traffic. My only recommendation if you book this location, make sure you have 4-wheel drive or a sturdy car, the very last bit of the drive was a little bumpy (but that’s expected in the mountains!). It was a great stay and would 10/10 recommend to friends or return for a future visit!

Relaxing weekend by the creek

We spent 3 days at Dawn and Ron’s Asheville home. Their space was very clean, smelled nice, and had every convenience you could possibly need. Unfortunately it was rainy during our trip so we didn’t take advantage of the outdoor amenities like the patio/grill or the goats, but they did greet us with wagging tails as we came and went! Loved the waffle bar and complimentary coffee - such nice touches that made breakfast a breeze! Also loved that they provided toiletries and washer/dryer. This space provided all the comforts of home, about 15 minutes to all the AVL activities. Dawn and Ron were very communicative and kind hosts. Would recommend their home to anyone!

Beautiful retreat! Fenced areas for my dogs was a blessing. Interesting structures, vegetation and the Cow! She was so fun! Loved being around the dogs and came for head scratchers.

I have to admit that I am not the best at writing reviews after staying at airbnbs, but this one was especially great for our family. We were traveling with our baby and 2 dogs, and we found the space very peaceful and well suited for us. I loved their fence for the dogs and the way the bedroom and living area is situated. Would highly recommend and will be coming back!

Great stay! I really enjoyed being comfortable while so close to nature.

This was our third time staying at this beautiful cabin, and it truly feels like our home away from home. It’s the perfect place for a couple’s retreat — cozy, peaceful, and fully equipped with everything we need. One of the best parts is that it’s pet-friendly! Our dog loves the space and surrounding nature, and we feel so comfortable knowing he’s welcome here. The location is ideal — close to Asheville but tucked away enough to enjoy the quiet and scenery. We’ve stayed in several cabins in the area, and this is by far our favorite. We can’t wait to come back again!

I was in town for a retreat, and Michael’s place added to the magic of Asheville.

This is the cutest place!! Very boho! Darcy is quick with communication and super friendly! I love the back porch with the fenced in yard. It was perfect for the dogs. There are so many cool details that makes this little house one of the coolest I have ever stayed in. Definitely putting this place in my favorites list!

It’s such a calm place. I enjoyed sitting on the couch each morning, drinking coffee and watching the horses across the way. The coffee the hosts provided was delicious. The bed was very comfortable. The hosts were welcoming, their old dog was very sweet, and the few glimpses and sounds of an active and loving family made me nostalgic for old times, when my children were young.

Beautiful property and amazing location!

Great house and great hosts. Thanks.

This cabin was great for our FL family. The three master suites were wonderful, so everyone had their own space. The game room was great to keep the kids both big and small entertained. We were lucky to have had nice weather during our week stay. The cabin is not far from the attractions in Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge but far enough away to feel as if you're living in the mountains. To get to the cabin some of the turns are steep if you are not used to driving up a mountain but only took a couple times to get used to it. We arrived at check in time and saw a bear in the driveway within an hour, we honked the horn and it startled it but didn't pay any attention to us, just ran away and did his/her thing. We had bear visitors daily and even mamma bear and her three cubs. I would recommend this cabin for family's it is large but still cozy.

The place was as described with listed amenities and spotless. Loved the fact that there was a fitness center and it was available. That’s important to me. The surrounding is beautiful and peaceful. Lots to do in the Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge area. Colleen was responsive and the staff was very accommodating. Would definitely stay there again.

Nice place, talk to him a bit cool guy and understanding

Our family greatly enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It had everything we needed. Plenty of space for everyone, nestled in the mountains. Quiet and peaceful with a view, but also close to town. Ana was also great, shares lost of good local info, and was always very responsive.

Jeff and Kathy's place was perfect for a weekend away for us without the kids. The location feels very secluded but with only about a 20 minute drive into the action of Gatlinburg. It is on a mountain but the roads aren't bad at all. The bed was very comfortable and Jeff and Kathy were great communicators. Would definitely stay again.

I cannot recommend this property enough! From the moment I stepped inside, I was blown away by how clean and spacious the home was. It was impeccably maintained, with every detail thoughtfully cared for. The layout was perfect for relaxing or entertaining, and it felt like a true home away from home. The cleanliness stood out the most—everything was spotless and fresh, which made the stay so much more enjoyable. The hosts clearly take pride in maintaining their property to the highest standard. If you’re looking for a comfortable, well-maintained, and spacious place to stay, look no further. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone!
