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.

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.

The pool was about a mile away and charged $30 for three people, plus $3 to rent towels 🙄
TV went out ant 7:30pm and instead of replacing it they wanted us to pack up and move at 9:30pm.
It was a nice hotel otherwise but these things dampened our spirts.

A great family experience
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our little get away here- we were able to relax on the beautiful lake back in September and the wonderful hotel offered a great breakfast buffet.
The lady at the front desk was an absolute doll our entire stay

Lovely setting
Comfortable place and beautiful setting overlooking the lake. The guest lounge was especially nice. Unfortunately, the dining facility is under renovation, so the breakfast buffet was only adequate. It should be completed soon.
