Perfect little getaway

This is by far one of the nicest properties I have stayed in. I'm very picky about cleanliness and stargazer cabin was pristine, smelled good, the decor was invitingBeds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. The hot tub worked great and was much needed after a day of hiking. The stargazer's open sky observatory with telescope was a hit! The property is secluded and well maintained. Our host was absolutely lovely and incredibly responsive to our needs. Our only issue was the infinity game table stopped working but our host was immediately putting in a service ticket and helping us troubleshoot so hopefully it will be back up and running soon. Can't wait to go back in the future. This is the only place I would want to stay in Hocking Hills.

Excellent experience

We loved staying at this property! The stars are beautiful and the observatory was super cool to have. The location was one of my favorite aspects. It was private but also very close to all the sites of hocking hills. The property itself is gorgeous and inside it is quite cozy!

Family Time

Lovely visit to a nice, quiet property. We were able to squeeze in game time and walks. Beds quite comfortable and the fireplace was wonderful. Daughter and husband spent time in the observatory and thoroughly enjoyed it. Husband and I enjoyed the hot tub for our quiet time at the end of the day. Only drawback - rain instead of snow...which showed up a week later!!!

Peaceful Retreat

Stargazers Cabin was a spacious and cozy home. Immaculately clean with a very well stocked kitchen. Short drives to great hiking and a hot tub to soak in after the hikes. We had fun looking at the stars and playing the electronic board games. A great place to stay!

Family retreat

We were looking for peace and quiet and this was perfect! Beautiful house with a lovely hot tub and an amazing conservatory. Enjoyed the large fire pit also even though it was 85 degrees! Had to have the fire and roast marshmellows. Comfortable and spacious enough for the 5 of us. We will be back again!

Quaint and charming

We couldn’t have asked for a more charming place for our much needed getaway. The location was secluded enough you could enjoy the peace, but close enough to all of the local attractions. Joel was very responsive with any questions. This place was a gem and would stay forever if we were able. The kids (12-14) loved all of the room to play outside, the ping pong table l, corn hole boards and the infinity game table.

Fourth of July

We spent a long holiday weekend at Stargazer and everyone, even the 14 year old, loved it- and he dislikes everyting. The house was perfect for our family of four. The property is amazing. It’s definitely out there- but that is what we were after. There are several amazing parks all within 30 minutes. Double thumbs up from this crew.

Absolutely Amazing

Stargazer was absolutely perfect. The cottage was well stocked with high end kitchen. Each bathroom has everything you would need to stay there, no need to bring anything but your clothes and food. If I had a question Joel answered promptly. Will definitely stay again.

Amazing weekend!

A beautiful home equipped with every thing we needed. as a rental owner in Florida was pleasantly surprised that cleaning supplies, including dish wash detergent and laundry detergent were supplied. There were also basic cooking supplies. In Florida we are only allowed to have a starter pack. The property is beautiful, and the star gazing was amazing. Some of our children arrived to surprise their Dad for his Birthday and we had ample room with comfortable beds. We loved our time there!

Stargazer has proven to hold the keys to adventure around every corner - everywhere you look, there's another opportunity to see and do things differently and more amazingly than before! We love building memories by the pond, seeking out different star formations, and relaxing by the fire. The location is perfect for plenty to do at the cabin, and plenty of hikes and experiences around Hocking Hills.

We've put a lot of love and care into the home to make it a wonderful place for a getaway for you and your family and friends. We know you'll enjoy every minute as much as we do, escaping to your own adventure. We're happy to be able to offer Stargazer for you to make your own memories in.
