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.
It was outstanding. Beautiful location and very quiet. Just what we needed! Looking forward to our next trip.
Impecably maintained and well decorated getaway with beautiful lake views. Great home base for visiting the Smokeys.
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.
beautiful, friendly, relaxing, want to return
The Lone Star Retreat was a beautiful place. I enjoyed being able to sit on the porch and watch the lake and trees in cool weather (which, now that I’m back in Texas, I won’t see again until maybe February). I wish I could have given more than 5 stars. Carolyn was a gracious host, attentive but not intrusive. Wish I were back there…
We booked this for our granddaughter and family. being from Florida they wanted something in the mountains and it met every expectation. Nice to have the amenities also at the lake.
It was difficult reviewing this property because, unfortunately, we had to cancel our plans. I understood that it was so late in the game that I couldn't be refunded. However, I did reach out to Carolyn and asked her, since there would be no need to clean the condo (since we won't be there) and my dog was not coming, would she reimburse the cleaning and dog fees. She QUICKLY replied and processed the refund. I am very grateful! If her place is anything like she is, I'm certain it is wonderful! Many thanks~
This is a wonderful peaceful place!
Fabulous place to stay! Great view of the lake from the deck and the big windows! Owner is respectful of your privacy and yet always available if needed! Convenient to Maggie Valley, Waynesville, and Canton NC. Their yard is beautiful! Close enough to walk to the lake also. Not far from the Blue Ridge Parkway, Cataloochee, and Soco Falls! We had a GREAT time! Great place to play or relax. Thank you Carolyn and Van!
Our overall stay was excellent and Carolyn was there if needed. Our only concern was the safety during wet weather where the stairs to the home were green with algae and slippery, fall leaves did not help either. Wold have been nice to have the leaves blown off to provide a bit more safety. Solar lights on stairs went out too quickly leaving it dark when you come in late. In addition the living room windows had no blinds so anyone sleeping on the extra bed or sitting around would have little to no privacy from anyone walking by on the deck. However, our overall stay was excellent, comfortable, and relaxing which is what we were looking for. I believe it would also be great in the spring and fall when everything comes to life. I will stay again when the time comes to visit family and friends in Waynesville.
My family and I had a great time. Very clean and a great location at the lake. Good fishing too!
Very much enjoyed our stay at the long star , perfect place !!
Another enjoyable visit!
Very nice apartment. I stayed in #3. It has large corner windows affording a fine view of forested residential properties and also the lake. One caveat there are no curtains on the living room windows, however it is the last apartment and rarely does anyone walk by. The property is in the trees and is full of landscape plantings. The owners Carolyn and Van are very nice and helpful, although I had no problems since the apartment was spotless and everything is provided. The property is only five minutes from downtown Waynesville.
Loved the view and the location. It was central to all of our needs. Communication with the hosts was great, and the apt. was very cozy.
This place is so cute, and the views are awesome! The property is extremely well-kept and is tucked up away from everything, but still close and convenient to a good amount of things. My husband and I prefer to keep to ourselves, and the hosts respected that while still being super accommodating. I would highly recommend this place!
We had a great time in NC. The place was clean and comfy. Loved the puppusses's, Maize and Bentley. Very nice stay. A quick suggestion, instead of the big rocks out front to designate parking maybe a couple of big flower boxes or planters. I clipped one of them when we were leaving.. :(
Wow! Every detail to make our stay perfect was there. Kitchen had every utensil. Bath had every convenience. Comfortable couch and Netflix provided. Easy keyless access. Quiet with pleasant surroundings. Won’t hesitate to rent again.
We enjoyed our stay. The host was awesome in her communication with us. It is a beautiful area! Everything was extremely clean!! We appreciated the snack basket. The website is very accurate in what to expect. Definitely a 5 out of 5 in every way!!!
This property was a serene setting; quiet and beautiful. When we are in the area again, this will be our first choice of a place to stay!
Our stay at Lone star retreat was wonderful. The owners of Lone Star Retreat provide all the comforts of home and much more. We would highly recommend this vacation home and the town of Lake Junaluska is like a storybook town. During our stay we walked around the lake each day and encountered many friendly people.
This house was absolutely perfect! We loved the location and the amenities. We can’t wait to stay here again!!
