Host was welcoming and helpful; apartment was charming, well equipped and so clean! Location gave us a lake view and delightful back deck for soaking up beautiful fall weather in peace. A bonus was being able to bring our dog with us--her portable crate slid easily into the laundry room as well for bedtime. Thank, Larry, for a great stay!

We have a week long conference every year at Lake Junaluska. In searching for a place to stay within our price range and allows animals, I found the Starstorm Mountain apartment. Larry was great! Communicated well. The check-in process was easy. The apartment was very clean. It was a great place for us to come home after working our event. It’s not far from Stuart Auditorium where our meetings were held.

About the host

Hosted by Larry Starne

Host profile image
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,
Larry Starnes
