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. ##### Debbie L. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### David T.
