Quietly nestled in Haywood County, the Lake Junaluska community is centered around the beautiful 200-acre namesake lake and surrounded by 1,200 acres of rolling hills and valleys.
The high peaks, fresh air, and stunning natural beauty of the area are what first attracted people seeking refuge from the hot summers. Lake Junaluska continues this tradition as a summer haven through events and programs at the Lake Junaluska Conference and Retreat Center, but it's also a thriving community. Today there are approximately 780 residential property owners and about half of the community's 2,700 residents reside there year round.
