The property was pristine! Clean and well appointed. Great location close to trails and sandy beach. Only improvement I would suggest is a water filtration system for rust. Great place go to.

The house was beautiful!! Being right on the water was great as well. I was fine with not having air, but my husband wished we would of had air conditioning. Any concerns we had were addressed and taken care of, if needed, right away.

Wonderful time at Star Gazer

We had a very relaxing time. The view of the water was amazing. We loved hearing the waves lapping the shoreline. The house was as advertised and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend if you are looking for something remote and quiet.

Quiet and relaxing

Property is about 20 minutes away from amenities and the pictures are outdated, but no issues other than that. Not far from a trail staging area and lake levels are high, so water was close to the fire pit. Will stay again.

Thanks for the review. The owner had recently installed new counter tops, so you are correct in saying the pictures are outdated. Water levels have risen for the past few years, so again you are correct saying the fire pit is close to the water.

Stargazer cottage

Very beautiful views on a quiet peaceful dead end road! It’s about 25 minutes from the town area. The house was everything we hoped for! We enjoyed our family vacation at this location! Things we enjoyed was bike rides and bon fires at the cottage, we did the indoor putt putt with the kids at The Rock, off-roading to fossil ledges, the public beach close by, boating and fishing, seeing a bear and enjoying the small shops and restaurants!

Clean and great view

Clean property. Nice views of the lake. Accurate description. Secluded quiet location. Only complaint and complaint is a too strong of a word is the water has a lot of iron in it, a lot. But that would not stop us from staying here the next time we are on the island.
