Lone Star Retreat #3 was decorated beautifully and had all the items needed during our stay such as bedding, cookware, tableware, full sized kitchen, washer and dryer, and even board games. We got the monopoly game out and played one evening. It had been a long time since we played a board game as a family. The host provided a binder with instructions and places to visit in the area. I loved sitting on the deck enjoying the peaceful setting and beautiful landscaping. Can’t wait to return in the future!!! ##### Lori G.

The apartment was very comfortable, well appointed and stocked with basic provisions (paper towels, etc.), and a generous supply of welcome snacks. It's a perfect location and ideal for our two small Westies and their morning and afternoon walks through a beautiful neighborhood overlooking Lake Junaluska. ##### George A.

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… ##### Cliff A.

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. ##### Shirley B.

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! ##### Jeanine M.

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. ##### Debbie B.

The place was immaculately cleaned and it had everything one could need for their stay. The outside of the property is lined with beautiful plants and trees almost making one feel like they are staying in a tree house. The 'Green Book'. The owners provided a book with everything about the cabin, restaurants, places to visit, and so much more. This book assisted with any and all questions we had during our stay. The owners were very pleasant and quick to respond if needed. This is a must rent property and we will definitely be back. ##### Jennifer A.
