Lakefront mountain home, WiFi, kitchen, AC

Plenty of space with great amenities.

This house was perfect for a girls trip. It is spacious with comfortable beds, great kitchen, and wonderful porch overlooking Lake Junaluska.

This was a wonderful house for our yearly trip with four old friends. The house is beautiful, extremely clean and comfortable. The kitchen is very well stocked and a joy to cook in. But, our most favorite feature of the house is the wonderful covered porch where we could sit, relax, and watch the parade of people, dogs, and wildlife as they made their way around the lake shore path!

Front porch view is fantastic! So roomy for large group! Most well equipped kitchen ever! Lots of lake equipment provided! We’ll definitely stay here again!!!

We loved our stay, well appointed, lots of space, great amenities like a firepit and kayaks. Highly recommend.

Loved our Third stay at Bishop’s Retreat. Comfortable Home with all you need to accommodate a big Family. Nothing can match sitting on the porch taking in the views and sounds of Lake Junaluska. The best house on the lake!

Wonderful views and location. Had literally everything you could possibly need.

We really enjoyed our stay at Bishop’s Retreat, on Lake Junaluska. The listing doesn’t do the location justice. It is located right on the lake. You can walk, fish, kayak, and enjoy wildlife steps away from the front door. The house was family friendly and had everything we needed, including a canoe, paddle boards, and kayaks. The house was clean and full of neat outdoor themed decor. There’s a TON of space and it’s really cozy. We will definitely be back next year! The stove wasn’t working, but they did include hot plates to cook on. This was just a minor inconvenience.

Bishops retreat offers a large rental home that has very nice and amenities, luxury kitchen and baths, and, picturesque relaxing areas both inside and out. Very clean and well appointed vacation residence. Feels like you are enjoying a vacation in your “own” lakeside vacation lodge….and, in fact you are!!!

Bishops Retreat exceeded expectations. Most well equipped rental we’ve ever been to. Upon arrival entry was easy and as described in instructions. Check out was also effortless. Celebrated our 40th anniversary with our children and three grandchildren so 10 of us in all. Layout of the house allowed us all to have separate space but also come together for gathering. Thanks so much!

Beautiful home. There were 13 of us! 3 were 90 years plus! Great home for 3 generations to stay in. It had everything we needed. The view is worth a million dollars. A well cared for home.

Clean and functional

We enjoyed our stay at Bishops Retreat in early August 2024. Our party was composed of 8 adults (4 couples) and 4 children, and the configuration of rooms (sleeping / bathrooms / lounging) worked really well. One of the basement rooms in particular was quite large and had a kitchenette and breakfast table, though the bunk beds were not stable enough to use when we arrived. Another thing we really loved was the location - it was less than a 5-minute walk from the pool and recreation area. Other reviewers noted that the stove had issues; we are happy to report that the stovetop was fully operational and worked well. Very convenient for us, because we cooked every night. We did notice that the chef’s knives were fairly dull and we regretted not bringing a knife sharpener. A few small items would have made the stay even better: the main high-traffic areas were pretty clean but some of our party with dust sensitivities developed some mild symptoms by the end of our stay. I’m recommending that the owner perform more frequent deep cleanings of areas that receive less traffic but still collect dust, such as underneath furniture and in corners. All in all we enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend Bishops Retreat to other parties who can take advantage of the bigger space.

Absolutely loved our stay here! Such great gathering areas inside and outside of the home. The location was superb. We loved walking the trails around the lake as well as just enjoying the gorgeous view. This stay was a sibling gathering, something we’ve done for many years in different locations. Everyone agreed this was our favorite stay to date.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week in this beautiful home.

Great location, quality furnishings, and plenty of space for a gathering of friends or a planning retreat. Lake access for walking is immediately in front of the property.

A group of 9 ladies stayed here for a retreat. It was perfect for us. There was a large gathering area for us to be together but enough space to spread out also. It is beautifully furnished and well appointed with amenities. Large kitchen and fantastic porch with a lovely view. We'll be back!

This property was perfect for our multi generational weekend.

House and location wonderful. On arrival it took us over an hour to get electronic door lock to unlock. My call to Vacasa for assistance was useless. The rug under dining table is a trip hazard. We love house and location and plan to stay again next year. Thank you.

Excellent house with all amenities... perfect location for walking to the pool, the courts and canoeing.

No one told us the lake would be drained. So paying a premium to be on the water then arrive to a smelly, muddy dry mess was very disappointing. I wish so much someone would have let me know that was going to be the case. I would not have rented the property.

The home is beautiful, roomy and well appointed! The location is perfect too!

This is a perfect house. The views are the best at Lake Junaluska.

The location was perfect. We loved the 2 story cabin home. Everything was profided down to the forks and spoons. Gas stove. We absolutely loved. Plenty of room for 12 of my family members. Home was warm, nice and cozy. They only thing we disappointing, was the lake. We brung along fishing equipment and the lake was drained. I was worried when we arrived because we was unaware and had never seen anything like that before. A bit scary. I'm glad the lake will be filled with water by April for Easter. We shall make plans to return and catch some fish next time.
