S. Oct 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quaint Hideaway Quaint hideaway on Lake Junaluska. Property was well appointed and clean. Check in and check out was a breeze. Highly recommend. ##### M. S. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 4/10 Poor #### Whitney B. Jun 14, 2025 #### Wouldn’t recommend for a weekly stay. House is in a good location for a short walk down to the conference buildings. Washer and dryer are not adequate for a stay longer than a few days. WiFi signal is shady…the TV kept disconnecting from the WiFi. The kitchenware and cookware is very old and rusty and stained. If you stay here, you will need to bring your own pots, pans, and casserole dishes to cook with and Tupperware to store leftovers. I recommend this place after some updates are made and the house is deep cleaned. ##### Whitney B. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Jane C. Jan 27, 2023 #### Hood Upper - apartment Spacious older apartment with MCM decor. Plenty of windows for natural light. Generous sized rooms and two nice bathrooms with good basic supplies - soaps, toilet paper & plenty of towels. Great screened-in porch could be extra sleeping area & allowed for wonderful breezes. Plenty of seating in living area. Comfortable beds. Lacks a dishwasher and the stove/oven is old but works. No vent for overhead stove. Electric baseboard heat kept us comfortable. No A/C but did not need it in September. Would rent again. ##### Jane C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### David M. Dec 6, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Comfort Short trip for our loved one's memorial. The views & seamless checkin process made it comfortable. THank you! ##### David M.
