Great spot!
We've stayed here a couple of times, and really enjoyed both stays! Having the ability to separate the two halves of the upstairs is a big bonus, especially if you have a family wanting to stay separately from the rest of the house.

Spacious Older Home
Plenty of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy activities, although furnishings are very dated and smell old.

Nice Place
This is a nice place very close to all the amenities of Lake Junaluska, namely the pool and boat rentals. We had a bit of difficulty getting in with codes/keys on the first day and there were a few small repair issues that needed addressing, but the local Vacasa representative was always quick to address our needs.

Mountain- Lake home
The Lyon’s den offers so many memories for us! The past 40 years has given us family dinners, game nights, front porch discussions and great walks around the lake! We love the amenities of the lake assembly. Look forward to many more visits!

Amazing Lyons Den!
The Lyons Den Combo was an amazing place for our family's July 4th vacation in Lake Junaluska. The house is extremely spacious and clean with more sleeping spaces than anticipated. Two bedrooms that go with the lower section are actually located upstairs but can be divided from the upstairs unit if purchased separately. You are only a short walking distance from the pool and lake. We loved our stay here and plan on renting this place again!
