Fantastic stay
We had a fantastic stay at this cabin! It was immaculately clean and incredibly spacious, providing the perfect retreat for our family. The three-bedroom layout gave both the kids and us plenty of privacy while still feeling roomy and comfortable. The beds were plush and inviting, making for a restful night's sleep. Colby, the host, was wonderfully responsive to any questions, ensuring a seamless experience. We would absolutely love to stay here again!

Beautiful space!
Stargazer Lodge was one of the best Air BnBs we’ve stayed in, & we’ve stayed in a lot! It was a 5-star experience from beginning to end. Colby did a fantastic job communicating, & we had everything we needed. The lodge is well stocked. We were able to use the grill and cook several meals for our large family in the well setup kitchen. The space is beautiful, & the large porches were perfect. The layout was perfect for us. We met extended family, & there was plenty of space for 8 of us, ranging in age from 13 to 70’s. We will definitely be back to stay again!

clean and comfortable
Accuracy – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Arrival - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cleanliness - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Communication - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Location - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Value - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This house was very beautiful and we loved all the amenities. Lots of kids and the bunks were nice to have. Kitchen was well stocked, furniture was nice and comfy, decorations were wonderful, and it had plenty of space for our large family. It did snow and ice some while we were there. Not a lot, but the roads were well maintained. The front entrance is pretty steep but there is an alternate way in that isn't quite as bad. Owners were very responsive and friendly.
