We enjoyed the lovely views of Lake junaluska from our place. Everything was clean and well stocked with all you need including snacks! We would definitely come back and stay here again!! The landscaping is beautiful. You are out from the busy town on a dead end mountain road but still close to restaurants and shops.

The hosts truly love their mountain home which shows in their excellent care of their vacation units, the love and hard work that goes into their gorgeous landscape and their caring hearts. Great location, view of lake and mountains, comfortable bed and peaceful shaded deck. You won't regret booking with Lone Star #3.
