Carruth Cottage studio sleeps 4. Walk to Lake Junaluska Conference Center, lake, rose garden

Carruth Cottage is a recently remodeled studio apartment quietly nestled among the trees in a charming neighborhood. You will enjoy the privacy Carruth Cottage offers as it sits on its own, perched over the original natural stone garage. Although Carruth Cottage is a studio, you will find it surprisingly spacious with a roomy new full bathroom, a queen size bed, and a full-size pullout providing enough room for everyone. The attractive new kitchen cabinets are made of reclaimed wormy chestnut giving the home a warm feel while the ample counter space, well stocked utensils, cookware and dishware keep even the fussiest cooks happy. This lovely cottage offers cozy comfort and mountain charm without sacrificing modern conveniences. Enjoy dinner outside on the patio table complete with a shade umbrella. After a busy day of sight-seeing or attending a local conference, the deck is the perfect place to relax and unwind in the peaceful surroundings and under the large bank of shade trees. Imagine sitting outside in the early morning sipping your coffee and basking in the serenity. Carruth Cottage is a premium vacation rental studio home that offers relaxation and comfort, a beautiful wooded peaceful neighborhood, central heat/AC, cable HD TV, WiFi, paved roads, and year round access.

In addition to all that this lovely vacation home offers, Carruth Cottage is situated in an exceptionally convenient location. Carruth Cottage is mere walking distance from the Lake Junaluska Conference Center making it the perfect rental for conference attendees. Walk to the conference facilities or take the little ones to the Lake Junaluska playground. Take a leisurely stroll along the paved walking path that circles the lake while enjoying the historic buildings and the stunning mountain vistas that surrounds the entire area. The 3.8 mile walking trail has several gazebos and benches where you can stop and rest while enjoying your stroll around the lake. If you prefer, you can shorten your walk to 2.3 miles by crossing the footbridge above the dam. Whichever way you choose to go, don’t miss walking through the “Rose Walk” which includes more than 200 hybrid tea, grandiflora, and floribunda roses.
Golfers will enjoy a round of golf at the Lake Junaluska 18-hole golf course. While playing golf at the 68 par course you can take in the spectacular views of the lake and the surrounding mountains. This course is open to the public and families are welcome.

Located within a 10-15 minute drive are the historic Downtown Waynesville, scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, Cataloochee Ski Area, Tony`s Tube World (snow tubing), Wheels Through Time (historic motorcycle museum, as featured on History Channels "American Pickers"), Ingles and Publix Grocery Stores, Walmart, and many great restaurants, local micro-breweries, craft shops, and boutiques.
Within 30 minutes are Asheville and the Biltmore Estates & Winery, several micro-breweries, Cherokee, Harrah`s Casino, Smoky Mountain National Park, Pisgah National Forest, several golf courses, Bryson City (home of the Smoky Mountain Railway and "Polar Express" during the Christmas Holiday), Transylvania County (home of the most waterfalls in the United States), and hundreds of antique shops.
Within a 45 minute drive is Hendersonville, where you can visit Sierra Nevada Brewery (with an enormous dining and Tap Room), gem mining, white water rafting, zip lining and much more. Just under 1 hour away are Gatlinburg, TN and Pigeon Forge (home of Dollywood).

Nice enough
The cabin is sweet and just fine for one or two people. Any more would be a bit crowded. Very nicely stocked kitchen and the bathroom is great - although a full length mirror would be nice. I did not know in advance of renting that there was no trash pick-up, which was a bit challenging. And had several large black ants to contend with. The fridge makes an odd noise, which makes it rough to sleep. Cobwebs on lamp shades.

Stayed 10 days. The location is excellent both as a base for traveling the area and for staying close by. The cabin was comfortable, clean, and well-appointed. Enjoyed our time there and would certainly go back again.

Best friends getaway
The property was charming, obviously well-loved by its owners. We had a great time there and were able to relax and visit the surrounding area. The only problem was the refrigerator door that couldn't open entirely. This meant that the vegetable bin was inaccessible since the door couldn't open entirely. Anyone who plans to cook while staying there might object to this. I also recommend adding a vertical grab bar near the shower to make it safer stepping out. But overall it was great. Thanks!

cabin near the lake
The property was clean. Had a nice porch. No view of the lake, several blocks away on steep incline. Kitchen decent. One queen bed and hideabed sofa. This property is not for anyone that has difficulties climbing the stairs. We are in our 80's. We liked the place but stairs were a problem. Also we were locked out. Not aware that shutting the door would automatically lock it. Had to find someone to call for us to get the number so we could get help to get in. Took a few hours. Be careful to check the locking mechanism.

Small but cozy, nice location
This little cottage was perfect for my husband and I for a quick anniversary getaway. I think it would definitely have been tight for more than 2 people. Very clean and and had all the basic necessities but no extras. Bring your own TP, coffee pot liners, per the property manager instructions. A quick walk down a few flights of stairs and we were on the walking path leading around the lake. We have a van which left us just enough room to get in and out while parked in the garage area, so a larger vehicle would need to park roadside (which there is room to do). Dollar General, Dunkin' Donuts, Bojangles all very close by. The only negative was the fridge sounded like a tractor idling in the kitchen when it turned on to cool. Because everything is all in one open space, it was a little distracting but we eventually got use to the noise. The checkin/out process was very easy to navigate. Overall, a very pleasant experience and we would definitely stay here again!

Everything was great, but you been blankets and pillows for the sleeper. Sheets alone are not enough in the winter.
