About this space

The Stargazer: Lake and Mountain Retreat

Welcome to the Stargazer, a peaceful haven to unwind, immerse in nature, and count the stars. It's situated steps from a private lake, nestled in a beautiful valley. Take in the views of the mountainside during the day and starscape at night from the enormous wraparound deck. Relax in this spacious home with luxurious attention to detail, a cozy wood-burning stove, and modern amenities.

The House:

The Stargazer is a 4-bedroom, 2 bathroom home situated on 5 acres of meadow, woods, and incredible mountain views.

The deck features a gas BBQ grill as well as a charcoal grill, picnic table, swing chair, and 4 lounge chairs with a side table to take in the views, relax, dine, or play. String lights add to the nighttime enjoyment. Turn all the lights off for amazing views of the stars!

Bedroom 1 has a king size bed, work desk, comfortable chair, and smart TV.

Bedroom 2(main level) has a queen size bed, large couch with ottoman, smart TV with DVD player, and some movies. This bedroom features an en suite full bathroom and laundry closet with washer, dryer, and ample closet space.

Bedroom 3 has a full-size bed, crib, pack and play, and a motorized Morrison La-Z-Boy with massage function. This amazing chair, apart from allowing for a full recline, can also be raised with the remote to help stand up easily (perfect for individuals with limited mobility or parents with babies).

Bedroom 4 has a full-size bed as well as a TV with Roku player.

The kitchen has everything you need - dishwasher, oven/stove, microwave, 4-slot Zwilling toaster, drip coffee machine, French press, coffee grinder, waffle maker, and plates/cutlery. There is sugar, salt and pepper as well as some seasonings in the cupboard above the oven. There is a doggy door built into the back storm door. The kitchen also features a dining nook with a table and stools that look upon the forest – watch for piliated woodpeckers, hummingbirds, or bluejays!

The separate dining area has 4 dining chairs, 4 more folding chairs, and another leaf in the kitchen closet to expand the table if needed. The table has beautiful views overlooking the forest, mountain, and front meadow.

The living room is the heart of the Stargazer: It features a cozy wood stove for the wintertime that heats up the whole house in the center of a vast, spacious open space with a cathedral ceiling. The room has a leather couch, a reading couch, and a ridiculously comfortable Lay-Z-Boy where you can recline and relax. The space also has a chest with games and puzzles, bookshelves with genres for every taste, and a tall bar table with 2 stools. Music lovers will find 2 independent stereo systems, with one that’s a stereo plug that connects to a mixer, amplifier, and two speakers, and the other one a Bose Bluetooth.

A mezzanine overlooks the living room and dining area and is a little music nook with a digital piano, electric bass, and electric guitar.

The cabin was good.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Dec 2024
Very accurate listing, very eclectic (which we loved)! It was 29 degrees when we arrived, that woodstove warmed us up quick! Grill is wonderful. Just cooked breakfast, but had what we needed and more!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2024
The hosts were incredibly kind and accommodating! Our group of 2 toddlers and 4 adults had a wonderful weekend getaway with beautiful autumn scenery, a peaceful visit to the little beach on the lake, a bonfire, and stargazing, as promised! The property feels a bit older/tired, but it was clean and comfortable. Kitchen was very functional and fridge was large which is great because you'll want to stay put for the visit since it's rural. Deck is a lovely feature to take advantage of when you have great weather like we did.
