Wonderful, rejuvenating time away

This cabin is just as described and more. It was very clean and included everything we could have wanted, plus some. They even left some snacks for us and a toy and treats for our dog. It was just what we needed and we so wish we could have stayed longer.

No words! Absolutely blown away 5 star

It was perfect from the moment we arrived, I’m from the UK and have stayed in holiday homes over there, but Oh my goodness this cabin is on another level. We could have literally arrived with just our clothes and a small amount of food and we would have been ok for the rest of our stay. We had 4 nights. All amenities and products for our use were absolutely top notchWe can’t wait to return, also our little 6lb Dog Ruby had the most relaxing time, she even spent time in the hammock with us looking at the stars

Highly recommend

We had a wonderful stay at the Stargaze cottage. It felt more like a visit to a B&B than a short term rental with all the attention to detail. The cottage is so cute and very well stocked. It is the most pet friendly place we have ever stayed which allowed us to truly relax with our two pups. We enjoyed taking advantage of all the amenities of the cottage and taking walks and hikes in the neighborhood. The host is excellent, welcoming and responsive.

Peaceful Getaway

My wife and I booked the house for an anniversary weekend and it did not disappoint. It is in a very quite and peaceful area and is a great house for relaxing in. Getting to enjoy the wildlife in the backyard while just standing in the kitchen as well as the wildlife seen on the short walk to the lake was a plus. Getting to see the fall colors starting to show as great as well. The screened in porch is a great place for some outside relaxing that still has light if you want to be out there in the evening. The shower and heated bathroom floor were enjoyable as well. This lived up to our expectations and would for sure book this house again if ever in the area. The hosts were great with communication and they had thought of everything ahead of time with all the information that is provided when you get to the house. If you are looking for a place to just get away and relax we would recommend this house.

This was our second visit to Laura and Danny's house in less than a year, we absolutely love it! We played badminton in the front yard, counted the frogs on the pond, and played card games in the screened in patio. It was just what our family needed to kick off summer vacation!

An awesome birthday weekend

If I wrote a full review of this listing we would all be here for a full day. So here's what was wrong. 1. Absolutely nothing! This cottage is amazing. The hosts, amazing. The area, amazing. They thought of everything you might need to have the best possible experience. The communication is very pleasant and clear, the area is peaceful and quiet. I have already sent the booking link to some friends and I plan on booking again within the next few months. If you can get a chance to book this cottage, don't hesitate, you will not find a better place to get away and forget about the world around you. All I can really say is "muah!" Chefs kiss and hats off! Every host should be like this!
