Lovely location, very awkward trying to get from parking area into hotel without navigating a very steep, wet driveway or using a circuitous route to an unmarked side entrance. Very disconcerting, especially for seniors and families. Breakfast was available, but what we tried was not good - powdered, cold eggs; very thick cold grits; gummy oatmeal; extremely stale, hard grocery store bagels with warm whipped cream cheese. Bacon was good.

We had this trip as a weekend anniversary trip. It was very nice and loved the location. Unfortunately it rained the entire weekend we werr there so all the awesome outdoor activities we didnt get to do. Still had a great time despite the weather. Would recommend for a peaceful getaway.

Lake Junalaska is a hidden gem. Restaurant offerings are average in quality and limited to a minimal choice buffet. Breakfast is fine, but lunch or dinner is certainly sub par.
Boat cruise dock- excellent value and experience

Needs update and deep clean

Loved the location and the relaxing rocking chairs outside. Bed was comfortable but the cleanliness of room was very lacking. I prefer not to see hair in the bathroom on the floor or in the tub. Sweep room thoroughly prior to mopping. Management needs to do inspection after cleaning make sure standards are kept.

Nice size room with a great view of the lake. Clean and comfortable bed. The breakfast was pedestrian and feel of the building was comfortable with seating on the lake side. Great place for walks with trails around the lake and ice cream across the street. Second time we have stayed here and would come back.
