Wonderful cabin for family of ten

We truly enjoyed our stay for the week of Thanksgiving. The kitchen was spacious and allowed room for seven if us to prepare our own special dishes for Thanksgiving. There was also all of the pots, pans and dishes for preparing food. There was plenty of bedroom and bathroom space for everyone. The living room was roomy enough for ten people to comfortably sit, play games, open presents and watch movies together. The outdoor sitting areas were also used by the family. We loved our time at the firepit. We look forward to renting this cabin for our family again.

The view!

When we saw the listing for this cabin it looks as if it is on the lake, but it isn’t. The view from the bedrooms, at night and from the balcony facing the driveway, in the mornings is just breathtaking. There were nine of us there and there was plenty of sitting space for all of us in the family room. The kitchen is nice and spacious too. It is about one minute away from Dunkin Donuts, dollar general and other stores. Parking is a little tricky for three full size vehicles so when you get there one by one go ahead and turn your vehicle around and back in.

Home with a view

Balsam View was roomy, we had plenty of seating, there were 10 of us total. A couple of friends also came to visit one evening and we still had room for everyone. This home also has a spectacular view of the mountains. We were there in October and the leaves were turning.

It was pretty decent. I'd stay there again. No complaints other than getting programming on the TVs is a hassle. And upstairs TV didn't work.

Wonderful home at the top of the hill

This is a wonderful home just a short drive from the lake. It is at the top of the hill above Junaluska with a magnificent view of Cold Mountain. The layout is fantastic for a large family. We especially enjoyed the chairs around the fire pit. You can walk to the lake, but it is uphill on the return. We found it very easy to drive approximately 2 minutes to the rose walk to park and stroll.

Great family getaway home

This home was so well equipped with everything we needed. The lot is very private with a great view. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen has a surplus of supplies, the seating and dining area were great for a group, and the outside covered areas were all used. We hope to come back soon. We have grown children and grandchildren and they all loved it.

Perfect for our family

This home is nothing short of amazing. The kitchen is well-stocked with plenty of cookware and dishes. There is enough space for a large family to fit comfortably and there are even (as our little called them) “hidden toys”. One example is a bin of mega blocks in a blanket box. We absolutely loved our stay here and the kids were excited to stay there as well. They are already asking when we can go back and we will definitely look at staying here again. An absolutely wonderful experience.

Fantastic rental

Beautifully decorated and furnished. It has the best stocked kitchen I have ever seen. It has everything you could ask for. The private areas available (porches) were lovely places to sit and read. The beds were so comfortable we hated to leave them. We will be back for sure.

We enjoyed the place. Did not cook there, but kitchen seemed to have everything you would need. Only issue was the bathroom on the second floor, near the end of the hallway, has a bathtub that is VERY SLIPPERY on the bottom. Needs to be corrected or someone will fall.

There are bed bags in the bedrooms/house

The property is spacious although a bit old. The community is good with trails around the lake. The bad thing about it is that the there are bed bags in the house that made out stay very uncomfortable and it affected our experience and rating. Renters be aware.

Birthday Bash

The property was really clean and well kept! We all enjoyed the view from the house and how spacious it was. The only downside to me were the pans in the kitchen , when cooking everything got stuck even with using the nonstick spray. Overall though i would give the property a 10/10

Music and Mountains

We were there for Music Week sponsored by The Fellowship of Worship Artists. We’ve stayed in many properties over the years and really enjoyed this one. It rained all week but we were able to get in one fire pit with s’mores. Great amenities, good beds, great water pressure with updated bathrooms! Loved the decor. Family retreat with nice views. Hopefully it won’t rain so much next year!
