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.

What a view
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.

Quaint and quiet....perfect little hideaway
What a perfect place. Secluded, beautiful and cozy. Tucked away from everything. Only you and nature all around. We enjoyed everything about it. Shopping is only about a 15 minute drive, so not too far away, but far enough. The owner is very sweet and quick to respond and is helpful. Look forward to going back and would recommend to anyone who needs to regroup from the craziness of city life.

Great getaway
Wanted to see stars and although the first night was cloudy, the second night delivered quite a show including a meteor sighting. Hosts were pleasant and responsive. They really want to provide their guest a private and pleasant stay. The cabin was clean and exceptionally well stocked. The bed was very comfortable. A few things in the cabin could use a little TLC but did not influence our stay. Saw wild turkey and many deer. The deck provided great scenery and peace.

The place was very clean and comfy there were just a couple of issues with the place the lack of a second tv in the bedroom,the telescope for the stargazing didn’t work witch was a huge disappointment and the finding of pet and or people ashes in what appeared to be boxes was disturbing but my over all rating would be a 4 out of 5 stars

Hidden Gem
Nestled back from the road on top of the hill, this cabin was perfect for the peace & tranquility I sought. Stargazer has a welcoming, homey feel & is equipped with all of your essentials and then some. Special features such as a wood burning stove, glass windows over looking the deck, wooded landscape & a telescope to enjoy the night sky are a few highlights. The bed had a cozy mattress, with plenty of extra linen, there are two bathrooms, & the kitchen is fully stocked with cooking essentials. The town is a quaint throwback with little diners & antique shops should you decide to explore. More than any of this though , the owner & her property manager are so kind, accommodating & responsive. Will definitely be back!!!

It's perfect
All the reviews are accurate, the pictures are as well. My husband and I stayed for our anniversary Oct 8-15. The Star Gazer was the perfect size for us. The cottage was clean, well stocked with towels, linens, and kitchen necessities. I thought the bed and pillows were very comfortable. I used the walking trails every day, and enjoyed the deck for sunrise every morning. There's chickens on property, but saw many deer everyday, and a fox on two days. The whole experience was relaxing and beautiful.

Great place for a couple to stay! Comfy cabin with a gorgeous view that can't be beat----of mountains, pond, and local wildlife. Bed not too hard and not too soft. Friendly chickens and a lovely silver maple next door. Kitchen stocked with small appliances and nice stove. One and a half baths. Close to hiking and all kinds of outdoor adventures. Excellent communication with property owner. Definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful time at the cabin. The location is peaceful and the view phenomenal. Our host Marilyn responded quickly to all our questions and check in was easy. I definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for peace and quiet (the roosters did start early but they didn’t really bother us). Thank you so much!

Everything in the home and the surrounding property was great. The host is attentive and thoughtful. We loved hearing up with the wood stove, cooking in the kitchen, playing backgammon, and walking through the sprawling trails on the property.

Cozy cabin. Great view. Nice hiking.
While the back side (road side) of the property isn't much to look at the front of the cabin is pleasant and has a wonderful view of the hills. The trails are easy and well groomed (the map is very helpful - just orient yourself by noting that the trail from the pasture is "Gobbler"). From there it all makes sense. We loved taking our dog out in late fall. The cozy cabin is great for two. The windows look out over the valley. The wood burning stove is nice. The kitchen is quite functional and generally well equipped. You might want to bring DVD's and/or CD's for entertainment as the impressive AV system is connected only to DISH network so the programming is very limited. We found the rooster annoying the first morning but we quickly got used to him. All in all we enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

The cabin was set on a hillside off a rural road with a typical rustic interior. It was tastefully furnished, clean and a cook's dream of a kitchen. From a large picture window and the adjoining large deck was a view to the valley below that made the stay worth it all.

Deer, Deer Everywhere
Charming house with awesome views. We were greeted by 18 deer in the back. Kitchen has everything one could need. We especially liked the stove with built-in griddle. Owner is very accommodating, even having her daughter install solar lights the day after me telling her the front step was had to see at night. We didn't get to experience the starry skies due to cloudy weather all week. It snowed one evening & was cleared immediately the next morning. Chickens & roosters were no bother at all. Place is very clean with bedding, towels, paper towels & toilet paper all provided. Great place to relax & unwind.
