Our newly remodeled and redesigned rancher cottage got a complete overhaul this year. Each bedroom has its own unique quaint, rustic yet modern charm with a cozy cottage vibe. You will notice a vibrant yet elegant color palette that blends in seamlessly for an eclectic atmosphere.

Our semi-circular gravel driveway can easily fit 6 cars. The house is situated on a level street, ensuring easy access and smooth driving conditions, especially during the snow season

The upstairs living area is great for winding down with a glass of wine and some vinyl records. Or sit at the dining table and enjoy board games with family or friends.
Enjoy a fully stocked kitchen including a rice cooker, electric cooker, spice cabinet, crock pot, blender and charcuterie board.

* Outdoor Space - Please enjoy the upper back deck with the patio furniture and fireplace and the patio below with the hammocks.

We hope you enjoy the uniqueness of our newly renovated cottage as much as we have enjoyed putting it together. We welcome you to make new memories at your home away from home.

* We provide all the basic supplies and essentials listed. Please make sure to bring extra supplies as you need them.
* A laundry basket and a luggage rack are placed in the bedroom closets.
* Stargazer Cottage welcomes families with kids and has a baby gate leading downstairs but please note we are not child-proofed. Make sure there is adult supervision at all times.

This cozy cabin was the perfect place for a reunion of friends and their families. We appreciated the amenities, including 2 fire pit options, toys, games and record playing station, as well as a well stocked kitchen. The surrounding scenery was gorgeous and the cabin was located close to some hiking trails and a brewery.

Beautiful home in Basye

Didn’t know much about the area but came to meet up with friends from NC since it is about the same distance for both of us (coming from Philly). The house was beautiful. You can tell it has been meticulously updated. There was plenty of space for me and my husband, along with our toddler and my friend and her 4-year-old daughter. Communication was easy and reliable.
