Bedrroms and Baths
The 3 bedrooms at Stargazer Cottage offer a spot to rest, recharge, and indulge in the most important part of any vacation - a great night’s rest.
The primary main-level bedroom offers a luxury king bed with soft bedding and plenty of pillows to help you fall asleep in no time.
Catch up on the news or put on a movie on the 43” Smart TV with Roku to help you wind down at night. Lots of clothes storage means you can pack for any occasion!
Enjoy the primary bath’s soaking tub with a rustic mountain mosaic backsplash and jets to melt away sore muscles and stress. The separate shower has cruelty-free body wash, shampoo and conditioner for our guests’ convenience! A double vanity has spacious counters for all your essentials, and we’ve included amenities such as a hair dryer, reusable makeup remover pads, and hand soap.
The second bedroom on the main level of the home has a comfy queen bed with a light quilt for the summer months and throw blankets as well as a plethora of pillows so you always have just the right combination for your personal comfort.
There is an extra ½ bath on the main level with commode and sink right off of the common area.
If ultimate privacy is your goal, put your claim on the second level of the home, which provides a full suite with a king bed.
We love the separate sitting area with a twin daybed and a 55” Smart TV, and that it boasts an efficient kitchenette with a microwave, and a Keurig coffee maker. Make up a hot beverage and step onto the private balcony with seating for views of the lush forest. Listen to the bird songs, watch butterflies feeding on wildflowers, and relax for a bit.
We’ve made a kids corner up here as well, with classic bedtime reading and a play area. A portable crib/playpen is provided.
Upstairs is also where you’ll find a workspace with a comfortable office chair, desk, and a portable fan.
The roomy upstairs bathroom has a shower/tub combo with body wash, shampoo, and conditioner, a single vanity with hand soap, and commode.
Outdoor Amenities
Stargazer Cottage is nestled in a small cove with Pisgah National Forest and mountains bordering the cottage (yes, this means you may see wildlife!) It’s quiet, secluded, and peaceful. The property is full of interesting places to explore. We have a small stream on the edge of the acreage that cascades down the mountain in delightful waterfalls.
Wander down to the pond for some morning meditation or to get lost in a good book. There’s something to offer in every season- from spring and summer blooms, breezes, and butterflies to autumn’s tapestry of colors that this area is best known for.
It seems no vacation is complete without a round or two of cornhole, and we've got you covered with a full-size regulation set!
Later, spend the evening gathered around the propane fire pit unwinding on reclining Adirondack chairs with your beverage of choice and sharing conversation and stories about the day. Be sure to carve out some time to stargaze! If you’re feeling extra outdoorsy, we also offer a Solo fire pit so you can listen to the crackle of a wood fire and toast marshmallows to your heart’s delight.
Other Things to Note
There is a steep gravel drive that you must navigate to get to the property. Please consider this when deciding to book! I recommend an AWD or 4WD vehicle or a vehicle with a higher clearance. Please reach out with any questions about the road.
