Lake Junaluska is being lowered in early 2021 to allow for the removal of silt, repairs, maintenance and cleanup that happens every few years. The Terrace Hotel, Lakeside Bistro, Junaluska Gifts & Grounds, Lake Junaluska Golf Course and the Walking Trail and gardens will remain open, and the lake should be full again by Easter.
Nestled around a 200-acre lake in the mountains, The Terrace at Lake Junaluska feels worlds away but is close to top Western North Carolina attractions. Enjoy shopping, dining and entertainment in nearby Waynesville and Maggie Valley. Drive less than 15 minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway or Great Smoky Mountains National Park, or drive 30 minutes to Asheville or Cherokee. Ask about our Biltmore Estate, rafting and ziplining packages!
