Stargazer's Retreat

Perched at 4,300 feet in the mountains of Western North Carolina, Stargazer’s Retreat is a peaceful escape where expansive views, fresh mountain air, and quiet mornings replace the pace of everyday life. Wake to sunrise stretching across the ridgelines. Spend the day exploring waterfalls, hiking trails, charming mountain towns, and scenic drives. Return home to soak in the private hot tub, gather around the fire pit, grill dinner on the deck, and watch the stars emerge above the mountains. Designed for couples and families, the cabin offers comfortable spaces both inside and out. Two spacious decks provide panoramic, year-round mountain views. The open living area invites you to slow down with a book, a board game, or puzzle. Star Link high-speed internet makes it easy to stay connected, if you choose to be. The fully equipped kitchen includes everything needed to prepare meals at home, and the cabin is stocked with thoughtful touches including a telescope, binoculars, star maps, Smart TVs with Roku, a washer and dryer, Pack n Play and highchair. Conveniently located near Western North Carolina's most memorable destinations, including Lake Glenville, Panthertown Valley, High Falls, Dry Falls, Fire Mountain Trails, Great Smoky Mountains N.P., Cashiers, Highlands, Sylva, and Western Carolina University. Things to Note: Up to two dogs are welcome, so every member of the family can enjoy the mountains together. Dogs must be leashed. Reaching the cabin is part of the mountain experience.
