About this property

Stargazer - Panoramic Long Range Views, Hot Tub, WiFi, 4 Acres

Enjoy the peaceful tranquility and beautiful mountain views from every room during the day and at night gaze at the starlit sky when you stay at the Stargazer cabin located at 4000 ft elevation.

Two bedrooms and two baths upstairs, large great room open to a fully equipped gourmet kitchen to cook up a wonderful meal. Cabin features vaulted ceilings throughout and walls of windows to enjoy the views from every vantage. A large Master bedroom on the first floor has a king size bed and adjoining bathroom with a double walk-in shower. A second bedroom has a queen size bed and an adjacent full bathroom. There is also a twin bed in the loft and a full size sleeper couch. The cabin comfortably sleeps 6.

Relax by the fireplace with a good book, watch the games or movies on the Blue-Ray player on the large HDTV, or sit out on the deck and simply enjoy the long range views of the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains and the Parkway. There are also board games, DVD's, Foosball and air hockey tables in the basement recreation room. If this is not enough, enjoy the outdoor Jacuzzi Hot Tub on the covered deck

Privately secluded at the top of the mountain yet close to West Jefferson as well as recreational areas including the Blue Ridge Parkway, Blowing Rock, and ski resorts. Canoeing, tubing, hiking, horseback riding, zip lining when the weather is warm and skiing and snowboarding in the winter and shopping anytime all are all within a short driving distance. Grandfather Mountain which can be seen in the distance is just a scenic drive away as well as Linville Caverns. Hiking trails on the property as well.

A well behaved dog is welcome. A rear wheel or all wheel drive vehicle is recommended for fall and winter months. We hope you enjoy the cabin and that wonderful memories will be made.

Stargazer in West Jefferson

We were celebrating our 15 year anniversary! The cabin was absolutely beautiful inside and out. The veiws were breathtaking. Very peaceful and private. It was the highest cabin on the hill which meant the longest drive up and down the mountain. It felt like an adventure! We highly recommend this place. We will be staying again!

Great guys annual trip

We a group of retirees and still employed suckers from the agency have annual trip. Group size varies year to year so finding a cabin big enough to accommodate us is a challenge along with mobility challenges sometime. This cabin was great. It was at the top and I do mean top of a mtn. Great views , great accommodations. Look forward to returning.

Amazing view!

All in all we had an amazing experience! Own was very very informative and helpful. He called to notify us that the bitter cold they had been experiencing had frozen some pipes. He worked till the problem was fixed and we were able to stay as planned. Wehad some crazy wind at the top of the mpuntain and lost power for a while. He was very helpfull in keeping us up to date on the power company progress on fixing the issue affecti g the mountain Some trees cam down in the wind and he was able to get me acess to a chainsaw so i could clear the road so as to not impede our vacation. And mostly, the view is literaly the most beai have EVER seen in all our stays in North 8thCarolina.r

Getaway paradise

The location lives up to its name. Listen to the quiet, feel the peace, enjoy the solitude, gaze at the stars! Beautiful home, very well stocked, plenty of recreational items offered. We had a wonderful "get-away" vacation. The only drawback was the 1 1/2 mile dirt/gravel access road (going up, up, up obviously) that had many spots not well maintained.

Great view both day and night

We stayed here 5 nights it is an amazing property. The back deck faces south so you can see the sun rise and set over the valley. The house lives up to its name stargazer i have many pictures of the stars out at night. If looking at the stars is something that interest you go when the moon is cose to new phase for best view of the stars.the inside of the house is very nice . The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans if you choose to cook.

Great views and quiet

Challenging to get to, primarily due to torrential downpours that made the long gravel road almost impassible at times. House is nice overall but could use some minor maintenance throughout.

Cozy Hideaway

We loved Stargazer! We live a couple of hours away and just needed a cozy place to hang for our wedding anniversary with our pup. This place was well stocked and everything worked great! The views are incredible and stargazing from the hot tub was perfect.

Wonderful!!

Such an amazing view! We are not used to the dirt road driving uphill- so that was a little hurdle we overcame. Such a beautiful property and the owner was very responsive which we appreciated. It was such a treat to be able to go out on the deck and see the mountain view- just breathtaking. We traveled with 4 children ages 8-15 and 2 adults and one dog, and had plenty of space. Thanks so much for such a beautiful experience! So glad we chose Stargazer!

The most relaxation I have had in years

The beauty of this cabin is only surpassed by the beauty of the surroundings. This was the spot perfect for a relaxing weekend. Being able to be isolated at the cabin and yet a quick drive to town if you need something makes it ideal and convenient. Even my super picky 16 year old had a good time.

Lovely Views

This cabin does have very lovely views from the front deck. And the hot tub was nice after hiking days. Way finding to the cabin could be better (go to end of road instead of looking for house number) and the road is a bit rough, but manageable with a regular car in good weather.

Amazing mountain views!

Wow, literally on top of a mountain! Just know it is a 10 minute drive up a bumpy dirt road, but man the views are worth it! Very nice and clean house! The beds are very comfortable and can't beat the hot tub! Thank you Gary!

Breathtaking view…peaceful stay

I found it exactly as described if not better. The pictures you see don’t really do this property justice. The road leading up to it is a little rough but paved at the start of their property and the view at the top is certainly worth it. Stargazer is the perfect name for this place because you feel like you can see every star in the sky. They even have a telescope in the closet but I didn’t want to chance breaking it. I would definitely stay here again.

Great Views, Poor Cleanliness, and Uncomfortable Stay

The communication with the host was excellent, and the views were stunning, but the cleanliness left much to be desired. White dog hair was embedded in the couches and covered dusty surfaces in the living room. The bed linens smelled and were covered in clumps of hair, so we ended up sleeping on blankets from our car. We were pulling hair from most of the food we cooked, including our thanksgiving meal. We have a black dog, we understand there will be hair, but this was just everywhere. It was disappointing to say the least, and really affected our ability to relax. While the hot tub worked great and the place has potential, it desperately needs a deep clean. We were ready to go on by the second day but stayed for the view. Additional -This is bound to happen being in an open area, but be mindful if you visit with your pup. We saw four random dogs in the yard throughout our 3 day stay.

Gorgeous long range views

We had such a great time at Stargazer. The cabin was well equipped, clean, comfortable, and the views were amazing! We have been coming to Ashe county over 15 years and this is the best view from a cabin we have ever had. We were skeptic about the driveway after reading other reviews but we drove a low profile Camry and didn’t have a problem. Thank you Gary for sharing your beautiful cabin for our 24th Anniversary. We made some wonderful memories!

Better than we imagined

This home is beautiful! The drive up to the house was something in itself. Me, my husband and 2 kids stayed for the week and we didn't want to leave. Very cozy and homey. The hot tub was a wonderful bonus for us all. If you're wanting to get away and relax in the mountains, this is the place to do it. Can't wait to book again!

Quietest place on earth

The location is simply peace-inspiring. It has been a long time since I heard such quiet. The road could be better marked as we didn't really see any addresses. The road is ok, gets rough near end before the final pavement. Dirt rough road. We had Nissan Murano 2WD and made it without issue. It may bother some. The owner was very communicative. It is a very cute place on top of the mountain with expansive views. But, the quiet!!!! Nothing but birds and squirrels. Def recommend if you want to unplug (although wifi is great and tv has streaming services)

Vacation getaway with friends

Stargazer had everything you needed for cooking in the kitchen it was perfect. The views were Incredible and very relaxing. I think the cleaning process needs to be a bit more throughly done. We found a lot of long dog hair throughout the cabin. Other than that we loved our stay at Stargazer and will Recommend to others. Thank you very Much.

All these glowing reviews are right

Can’t wait to go back - there’s so much more to enjoy! The drive up is long and portions rough. The sight lines are longer than the eye can discern. The main floor interior is well-designed. The lower floor is a work in progress but very liveable (there will be more to look forward to over the future. Quiet seclusion with nature all around.

Sunset at Stargazer

Very special retreat and quiet time. Exceeded our expectations in many ways. View, comfort, quality of appliances, linens, firm mattress etc etc. Perfect getaway for a Senior Couple to relax and refresh. Drive up the hill to the house was difficult. Best for SUV or 4 wheel drive I think. Wife's Lexus just did not like it.
