Lambuth Inn at Lake Junaluska

Lambuth Inn at Lake Junaluska

8/10 Good
"The property was absolutely beautiful from every area and we loved the views. Our room was clean and quaint, but small. The AC worked but you had to keep turning it on and off and didn’t automatically come on with a certain temperature. We loved the views so we will come back but maybe stay i a different room. We also loved the fact that we were able to book it extremely last minute."
