We had a small accident and she replied and came to help very quickly!!! Could not have asked for a better weekend! Town of Wellsville is beautiful as well.

First White Christmas
It was just a describe. Quiet, peaceful and the cabin was cute and cozy wonderful view. We had a fantastic time sledding and playing in the snow. The host was awesome we got into town late and she made sure the lights weren’t on for us also made sure the drive way was plowed for accessibility. Thank you
This gem of a cottage has absolutely stunning views. We booked our stay during a new moon in hopes of seeing the Milky Way at night. Unfortunately, it rained. Thankfully the cottage is 10 minutes from Wellsville so we had a good evening there and a warm, cozy place to spend the night. The bed was very comfortable. Even though it is five hours from our home, we hope to return when the weather is conducive for stargazing.

5 Star! Peace And Quiet, Great View
The property and cabin are beautiful and well maintained. The view of the night sky and sunrise is massive and wide open. The grounds are quiet and peaceful. Plenty of room for the dogs to run, comfy deck and furniture, great tv, nice, hot water, great fire pit and pond!

Quiet getaway with an amazing view
Was looking for a relaxing place where I could decompress after a stressful project for work and we very satisfied with this property. Great view off the back deck for stargazing or to spot the several deer, hummingbirds, groundhogs, etc that visit that open space from time to time. Excellent kitchen equipment. Very easy to communicate with the owner. A little dusty in a few corners, but certainly cleaner than most of the cottage/cabin vacation spots that I've frequented in the past. Strongly recommend if you need a break and a change of scenery.

The cottage was very quiet. The view was outstanding. We enjoyed watching the deer in the field in the morning and evening. Wellsville is only 12 minutes away so we could still make a quick trip into town if needed. We would definitely like to come back in the future.

What a view
Stargazer is completely as advertised - cozy, comfortable, clean and celestial viewing is on par with some of the best places we've ever traveled. The amenities were above our expectations, so well stocked we needn't have packed many of the items we did. The seclusion brings a variety of wildlife for viewing from the back deck or from the large windowed rooms (including the bedroom). We went for the stargazing and watching the Perseid Meteor showers. Even with some weather challenges - we saw meteors on both nights we stayed (and sooo many satellites). The one instance we had to contact staff, we received a prompt and appropriate response. We had no real complaints (a few minor "wish this or that") - yet nothing that made our experience wish we had not booked and certainly enough plusses that we plan on booking again.

Quaint and quiet....perfect little hideaway
What a perfect place. Secluded, beautiful and cozy. Tucked away from everything. Only you and nature all around. We enjoyed everything about it. Shopping is only about a 15 minute drive, so not too far away, but far enough. The owner is very sweet and quick to respond and is helpful. Look forward to going back and would recommend to anyone who needs to regroup from the craziness of city life.

Great getaway
Wanted to see stars and although the first night was cloudy, the second night delivered quite a show including a meteor sighting. Hosts were pleasant and responsive. They really want to provide their guest a private and pleasant stay.
The cabin was clean and exceptionally well stocked. The bed was very comfortable. A few things in the cabin could use a little TLC but did not influence our stay. Saw wild turkey and many deer. The deck provided great scenery and peace.

Stargazer
The place was very clean and comfy there were just a couple of issues with the place the lack of a second tv in the bedroom,the telescope for the stargazing didn’t work witch was a huge disappointment and the finding of pet and or people ashes in what appeared to be boxes was disturbing but my over all rating would be a 4 out of 5 stars

Hidden Gem
Nestled back from the road on top of the hill, this cabin was perfect for the peace & tranquility I sought. Stargazer has a welcoming, homey feel & is equipped with all of your essentials and then some. Special features such as a wood burning stove, glass windows over looking the deck, wooded landscape & a telescope to enjoy the night sky are a few highlights. The bed had a cozy mattress, with plenty of extra linen, there are two bathrooms, & the kitchen is fully stocked with cooking essentials. The town is a quaint throwback with little diners & antique shops should you decide to explore. More than any of this though , the owner & her property manager are so kind, accommodating & responsive. Will definitely be back!!!

It's perfect
All the reviews are accurate, the pictures are as well. My husband and I stayed for our anniversary Oct 8-15. The Star Gazer was the perfect size for us. The cottage was clean, well stocked with towels, linens, and kitchen necessities. I thought the bed and pillows were very comfortable.
I used the walking trails every day, and enjoyed the deck for sunrise every morning. There's chickens on property, but saw many deer everyday, and a fox on two days. The whole experience was relaxing and beautiful.

Beautiful view and comfortable property
Great place for a couple to stay! Comfy cabin with a gorgeous view that can't be beat----of mountains, pond, and local wildlife. Bed not too hard and not too soft. Friendly chickens and a lovely silver maple next door. Kitchen stocked with small appliances and nice stove. One and a half baths. Close to hiking and all kinds of outdoor adventures. Excellent communication with property owner. Definitely recommend.
The property was excellent! Very comfortable and relaxing. The Beef Haus in Wellsville is a great local restaurant, but the barbecue grill on the back porch was an excellent way to enjoy some good food as well.
