We enjoyed staying at the Lone Star Retreat. The unit was nice and clean and it had a pretty view of the lake. There are lots of beautiful flowers and trees on the property too. We had a great time walking around the lake and also going to Waynesville, Asheville and some waterfall hikes.

Lone Star Retreat #3 was a lovely place to stay while enjoying the beauty of Lake Junaluska. Glimpses of the lake could be seen through trees from the large picture windows and the two large decks. We loved watching the birds in the extensive gardens. Since we visited in the summer, the large trees provided a welcome respite from the heat. Everything we needed was provided, and the apartment could not have been cleaner or nicer. Do be aware that there are 25 steps broken up by deck landings to get down to the apartments. We looked at it as good exercise, but we don't have ambulatory issues. We'll be back!

Just as pictured in listing. This property was exceptionally clean, bed was comfortable, updated appliances and large corner window allowing for plenty of light and of course the view of the lake.

We spent a magical week on Lake Junaluska in this apartment. Everything about it and the owners is top notch. The unit was immaculately clean and the owners have covered every detail, including thinking about our fur babies. We spent lovely evenings on the deck enjoying the fire pit and the spectacular views of the Lake. The photos on the listing don't even do it justice. It was our first trip to Lake Junaluska, and hopefully not our last. We would HIGHLY recommend this unit and these owners for your next vacation or getaway.

My best friend and I wanted a vacation in Lake Junaluska so I found this apartment and we were so happy with it. Carolyn had made an amazing notebook of everything you would need on a trip, from restaurants (and menus), activities in the area, Wi-Fi password, instructions for everything! They also left a basket with snacks and a gift card to their favorite restaurant. We were so impressed! When we checked in we found the brand new refrigerator had quit working. Van was there in just a few minutes and brought us a mini fridge to use until a new one could be delivered. We were so happy with the service. All we needed was a small fridge anyway so it was no problem. The area is just beautiful. I loved sitting out on the deck in the mornings with my coffee. We feel like we found a jewel and we both highly recommend. I’m ready to go back.
