Great location with relaxing deck. Nice walk to the lake. Very friendly hosts for this cozy spot with short drive to Waynesville. Easy check in and thoughtful touches for an easy stay.
This was a cozy studio rental that worked well for our family and is a great location in Lake Junaluska. Thoughtful touches and details made this a perfect spot for a family wedding and exploring the area!
Delightful, quiet, clean, comfortable stay in this little slice of heaven at Lake Junaluska. Very appreciative of the fully stocked kitchen and amenities and the little extras; snacks, coffee pods, soaps, games, area information, and even a flashlight! Grateful for time spent on the beautiful deck with only the sounds of birds and wind rustling thru the leaves. Easy, clear check-in/out procedures and instructions and communication with gracious hosts. I was at the lake for a conference so didn’t get to spend as much time at Lone Star as I would’ve liked. I hope to visit this wonderful spot again soon for a true retreat!
This was a cozy and comfortable place! My husband and I especially enjoyed the spacious deck and view of the lake and beautiful neighborhood. We were also super impressed with our hosts who thought of every possible need including a very helpful notebook full of information on the area and tasty snacks too! We definitely plan to revisit the great place again!
Cozy suite on Lake Junaluska, NC. For those who like the option of cooking and/or grilling a a spacious deck overlooking the lake, this is the place. Looking for peace and quiet to write that next chapter, or a respite that's close to Waynesville shopping and dining? This is the place for you!
We loved our time at Lake Junaluska and this particular place gave us the best of both worlds—we were in walking distance to the lake and pool, but we were hidden away in the trees which kept things cool in the July heat. We’ll be back!
This studio was perfect for our family of four. The place was clean and had everything we need. Host provided complimentary treats/water, which my kids enjoyed. Very good communication with host. They had a local soap product in the kitchen and bathroom and we were able to pick some up in Waynesville. Nice location for a little getaway at the top of the hill and within a beautiful community.
We had a wonderful stay. The area was extremely peaceful and relaxing. Our accommodations were very clean and comfortable. We intend to visit here again in the future.
Lovely stay at the Lone star! Clean and cozy, overlooking gorgeous Lake Junaluska. We enjoyed daily strolls around the lake with our fur baby, and loved the convenience of being close by to Waynesville and Maggie Valley.
This was our 2nd stay but were in a different unit last time that was larger and bedroom was separate but it was not available this time. The unit we got was clean and well stocked and definitely met our needs even if smaller. There are a lot of steps but we knew that. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Lone Star.
We had a excellent time. The rental was clean and stocked with everything you need. They left us snacks and a dining gift card to their favorite restaurant. Overall it was a great stay. I will return in the spring.
Thank you Carolyn and Van for a lovely stay and for allowing our Tanzi to come along. The photos tell the story beautifully. The deck is spacious and the view is to die for! The studio apt is darling and spotless! We'll be back :-)
