About the host
Hosted by Larry Starne
I am retired from a 50+ year banking and investment career. Originally from NC, but have lived and worked in Florida most of my life. We now live in Florida half the year where I enjoy vegetable gardening and investment strategy planning, and at Lake Junaluska the other half of the year. We have five children, three grand children and one great grand child! My brother, who lives near Lake Junaluska is a retired United Methodist Minister who had long encouraged my wife and me to buy a home there and experience the beauty and outdoor activities of the area. My wife, Rhonda is a retired Clinical Dietition who loves hiking.
It gives me great pleasure to host visiters and hear their happiness with our guest apartment. We are blessed with many five star reviews which we greatly appreciate. Our cleaning professional, Angie, is outstanding. We always hear great praise of how sparkling clean the apartment is. Our goal is to exceed your expectations and for you to have one of your best experiences and accommodations of your traveling life!
