What a great cabin to stay in. The cabin was clean, spacious and perfect location. I didn’t roam around the grounds much just due to the nature of my stay but what I saw were well kept and maintained. I wish I would have been able to walk the trails but just didn’t have the time. The view from the deck over looking the fields and pond was amazing. With the use of the provided binoculars you could see for miles. I will definitely stay again if I’m ever in the area.
Very private property with plenty of wildlife to see. Amazing sunsets and sunrises. Hosts are amazing as well. We had a storm and the power went out, the host checked on us to ensure we were ok and if we needed anything. The power was back on very quickly. There are sources for light available. It was still great even when the power went out. We have stayed here several times and will continue to stay here when we visit. If you want privacy and peace this is the place to stay!
The view from this house was so beautiful. I loved waking up and watching the sun rise. Our dogs had a blast on the property playing frisbee and walking the trails. We had a fire in the wood burning stove, it was so cozy.
Cozy cabin with beautiful views. Enjoyed the wildlife daily, and the host was amazing and very helpful. Nice quiet serene get away for relaxing away from the rat race.
Warm and cozy, plenty of room to be comfortable with a large dog. Amazing views as always! A home away from home with allThe conveniences. Wanted to hike the trails, but my dog wasn’t a fan of of the deeper snow, despite his long legs. Having stayed here in the summer, I know the woods and trails would have been beautiful.
Wonderful stay for a long weekend with 2 senior dogs with a lot of space to roam. With deep appreciation Marilyn,
for sharing the stunning views, very comfy and cozy accommodations stocked with everything I needed. Top of my "visit" again list for sure!
The property and cabin are beautiful and well maintained. The view of the night sky and sunrise is massive and wide open. The grounds are quiet and peaceful. Plenty of room for the dogs to run, comfy deck and furniture, great tv, nice, hot water, great fire pit and pond!
The cottage was very quiet. The view was outstanding. We enjoyed watching the deer in the field in the morning and evening. Wellsville is only 12 minutes away so we could still make a quick trip into town if needed. We would definitely like to come back in the future.
Very accurate to listing. Property was perfect for my birthday weekend with my boyfriend and dogs. Beautiful views even in snowy weather. Lisa is AMAZING!!! We had a small accident and she replied and came to help very quickly!!! Could not have asked for a better weekend! Town of Wellsville is beautiful as well.
It was just a describe. Quiet, peaceful and the cabin was cute and cozy wonderful view. We had a fantastic time sledding and playing in the snow. The host was awesome we got into town late and she made sure the lights weren’t on for us also made sure the drive way was plowed for accessibility. Thank you
Was looking for a relaxing place where I could decompress after a stressful project for work and we very satisfied with this property. Great view off the back deck for stargazing or to spot the several deer, hummingbirds, groundhogs, etc that visit that open space from time to time. Excellent kitchen equipment. Very easy to communicate with the owner. A little dusty in a few corners, but certainly cleaner than most of the cottage/cabin vacation spots that I've frequented in the past. Strongly recommend if you need a break and a change of scenery.
Stargazer is completely as advertised - cozy, comfortable, clean and celestial viewing is on par with some of the best places we've ever traveled. The amenities were above our expectations, so well stocked we needn't have packed many of the items we did. The seclusion brings a variety of wildlife for viewing from the back deck or from the large windowed rooms (including the bedroom). We went for the stargazing and watching the Perseid Meteor showers. Even with some weather challenges - we saw meteors on both nights we stayed (and sooo many satellites). The one instance we had to contact staff, we received a prompt and appropriate response. We had no real complaints (a few minor "wish this or that") - yet nothing that made our experience wish we had not booked and certainly enough plusses that we plan on booking again.
I booked the Stargazer for the views, the trails, and amenities of the cottage - it did not disappoint! The listing photos are very accurate, with the views being even more beautiful in person. This is a very quiet location (might have heard 3 cars pass by all weekend!) and has a "get away from it all" feel. The accommodations made me feel at home right away, the kitchen provides anything you could need - full-sized appliances, Keurig, microwave, and anything you'd need for cooking. The bedroom has an incredibly comfortable bed and good storage. There's a nicely sized full bathroom (full-size shower/tub with great water pressure!) The cottage was clearly cleaned and prepped for my arrival. Marilyn provided quick replies to my messages throughout the planning and my stay. My dog and I loved the trails! The trail maps are nicely coded and labeled and the trails themselves were clear and easy to see while walking. The trail system gives you options of shorter or longer hikes depending on the turns you take. The cottage was dog-friendly with space for his food bowls, lots of floor space to stretch out and flooring that was easy to clean.If you're looking for a quiet getaway in nature with all the comforts of home, this is the place to go!
Every year for our wedding anniversary, my spouse and I rent a different cabin or cottage as a weekend getaway. After 11 years of this little tradition, we both agreed that Stargazer was the best one we ever visited. The view is stunning, the cottage immaculately maintained with everything you could possibly need, and there is access to a beautiful eight mile trail that is perfect for reconnecting with nature with your loved ones (two and four footed!) The host was very kind and helpful, and both check in and check out were incredibly easy. We definitely hope to visit again with our pup, who loved it as well!
This place was so cute! The view was spectacular. I only wish I could’ve stayed longer. The house was very clean. The owner was very responsive. If I’m ever in the area again I will definitely book this place again.
The history was responsive to needs and easy to reach before and during our trip. The house had everything we needed for a weekend stay. We only had to bring our own food and personal toiletries. The view was amazing and exactly as expected from the photos provided. The area was secluded and quiet, which made for a much needed peaceful weekend.
