About this home

Nestled in the heart of Western North Carolina's historic Lake Junaluska district, this cottage, full of vintage charm, is the quintessential mountain retreat just steps from the water’s edge.

Currently a short-term rental, the property balances serene living with investment potential.

A rough rule — actual qualification depends on your full debt picture, credit, and the lender. John can introduce you to lenders he trusts.

Numbers are a directional estimate. Actual monthly cost varies by lender, credit, taxes assessed at closing, and insurance carrier. This is not a loan offer or pre-approval.
