Historic. Pristine. Great views. This iconic hotel is perched above lake Junaluska, a center for Methodist congregating. Many reviews mention that this historic landmark seems "dated." It does have smaller rooms and an older style of furnishings. However, it all seems to look and feel like it is either new or freshly cleaned. You know, like a historic site. The service was prompt, friendly and polite. The room was small but fresh. I particularly like the ability to open windows for fresh air. It was cold when we arrived (in July) and took a while to shift. We simply adjusted the thermostat and opened windows. The gift shop was limited and mostly Christmas items. There are a few drinks and snacks but not a restaurant. We had to go out for food.

A true gem! I have traveled all over the world and I've been telling everyone that this is the most beautiful area I have ever seen. Great looking hotel with its unique decor and furnishings inside. While the outside is the true "star of the show". The hotel is surrounded by stellar and remarkable landscapes that are visible from sun up to sunset. Another highly recommended destination to everyone I can tell about this place. I would be returning many, many times.
