Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Carolyn Walker

I grew up in Murfreesboro, TN graduated from Middle TN State University and was a commercial lender for a bank for ten years. In 1989 I married my husband Van and moved to Dallas. Van is a native Texan, born in Dallas. He spent some of his formative years in Oklahoma and thus is a die-hard Sooner fan! He attended Midwestern University before enlisting in the Navy in 1969. We've enjoyed being self-employed all our married life which has given us great flexibility and allowed us to move to NC before fully retiring. I loved my years in Texas...there's truly no place like it, and it does "get in your blood". It's just so dang hot! In 2017 we followed through on a dream we've had for 20+ years. We packed it up and moved to the mountains of beautiful Western North Carolina! Call us crazy, but remodeling homes is a hobby for us. We've renovated 8 homes top to bottom since we've been married. Our vacation rental properties are among those projects. I love to dance, laugh out loud and I whistle a lot! I've been told I shouldn't sing along to the radio, but I do it anyway! I believe what comes around, goes around, and that we should all live, and let live. We both enjoy gardening, movies and playing with our beloved pets. We treasure spending time with our fabulous adult children and their spouses and love hosting happy hour with friends on our deck! Van loves firing up his Texas sized smoker and cooking for a crowd. We love Tex-Mex, sushi, walking around the lake and visiting historical places. I love soul music, Van's a Beatles fan, and we both love meeting new people so VRBO is a natural for us! Come see us and experience some North Carolina charm and beauty at Lone Star Retreat and Lake Life House and Apartments!
Why they chose this property
The Mountains are calling, and I must go! We lived in Dallas until all our children were in college and semi-independent! We'll always love Texas, but nice cool summers and the beauty of the western North Carolina mountains drew us here! Waynesville is quaint and easily won our hearts. The natural beauty and tranquility of Lake Junaluska is truly paradise!
What makes this property unique
We visited several towns in the Asheville area before we relocated. One visit to Lake Junaluska and charming Waynesville, and we were SOLD! This cute apartment has an unparalleled view of Lake Junaluska and the mountains. The sunsets that you will enjoy right from your private deck will be like none you've ever seen. It's truly an inspiring place to live. If you come stay with us, you'll you just might not ever want to leave!
