10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2026
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.

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!
