Terrace Hotel Receives High Definition Televisions
Renovations and improvements at Lake Junaluska Conference and Retreat Center continue. While Mountainview and Sunnyside Lodges continue to undergo renovations, Terrace Hotel received an unexpected upgrade this week. At the generous bequest from donors who love Lake Junaluska and wanted to assist with upgrades to Lake Junaluska's services, all new 32-inch Sanyo LCD High Definition televisions were purchased on Wednesday, October 28, 2009. These new televisions were quickly distributed throughout the Terrace Hotel. Plans to redistribute the televisions previously in the Terrace Hotel to other lodging facilities at Lake Junaluska are underway.

Mountainview and Sunnyside Undergo Major Renovations
Two lodging facilities at Lake Junaluska, Sunnyside Lodge and Mountain View Lodge, are undergoing major renovations this fall. Built in the late 1950s, both facilities have only been open seasonally because they did not have heating or air conditioning. Renovations to both facilities began October 1st.
Sunnyside Lodge and Mountain View Lodge are both undergoing major improvements. New heating and cooling units, as well as new circuits for hair dryers and other utilities are being added to each room in both facilities. In addition, rooms will be renovated to include new insulated windows, new carpet, and paint.
These exciting renovations would not be possible without the time and efforts of a group of volunteers known as the NOMADS. NOMADS, otherwise known as “Nomads on a Mission Active in Divine Service,” have been a mission outreach ministry of The United Methodist Church since 1988. NOMADS travel the country in recreational vehicles to help non-profit church related groups with their needs. Several groups of NOMADS will be assisting Lake Junaluska with these renovations.
“We truly appreciate the efforts of each group of NOMADs,” said Jimmy L. Carr, Executive Director of Lake Junaluska. “Because of their commitment, we have been able to move forward with renovations at an incredible pace. At Lake Junaluska, we are committed to providing our guests with quality experiences, and these renovations will further our ability to do just that.” Read More and view photos
