We absolutely loved our stay here and hated to leave. The residence and scenery are beautiful! 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!!!

We stayed at this great hideaway for a week, and enjoyed every moment of our stay. 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.

We enjoyed our short stay but had to leave early due to weather from hurricane Helena. 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.
