Excellent Carolina Mountain Family Getaway

About the host
Hosted by Steve & Angie Bailey
Steve and Angie purchased Lone Star Lodge after their east coast based daughter and husband had their first baby (and their fourth grandchild). Having a vacation place for family gatherings seemed like a pretty smart move given Steve’s impending retirement (Angie has been retired for a few years now).
Steve began his career in the Marines almost forty years ago in Jacksonville, North Carolina and has had a deep fondness for North Carolina ever since. When he left active duty in 1986 he promised to come back and here we are. We call it Lone Star Lodge because of the obvious Texas connection and because the street naming protocol follows an astronomical paradigm...and because it seems like a fun name!
