Lake Junaluska

The only view from the Starstorm Mountain apartment is from the deck. There is no view from inside the apartment. Unfortunately, it rained every day of our visit except the first day. We did enjoy the deck on that first day, but spent the remaining time in the cave. The information regarding the apartment stated that there is a fireplace. We looked for it expecting a woodburning or gas log fireplace. We finally discovered a fake fireplace in the cabinet under the TV. While it did put off some heat it certainly didn't rate as a fireplace! The apartment was big and comfortable. The unit was clean and well-stocked. Our main issue was with the lack of a view since that is our main reason for going to the mountains.

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!
Your host,
