–3 miles from Cedar Lake Memorial Campground (boating, fishing & magnificent descending beach to swimming area) There is an outdoor ice rink at our school that is open to the public during winter, just 2 blocks away. –The city park/playground, Bullfrogs Bar-n-Grill & Cynthia’s Kitchen and Cocktails restaurant and our local frisbee park are all within walking distance. Lots of local outdoor activities and meal options are close by. We have 2 dogs & 2 cats (all take their ambassadorial duties very seriously and likely will visit), chickens and a water feature (fountain and 16′ waterfall), creating pleasant “white” noise. We welcome families, singles, couples, and pets. All properties have free Wi-Fi, and the Cottage and Skycabin feature a kitchen (refrigerator, gas oven with four burners, microwave, sink), gas fireplace, full bath with shower and flush toilet.ĭiversity is most welcome. This includes year-round use of our hot tub. Our 2+-acres (fenced) is our year-round residence, upon which we offer three Airbnb properties (see descriptions above).

It even has a dumbwaiter to assist with getting your luggage and supplies up where you will stay. Not a true treehouse (trees sway, die,…bad idea!), it is built on stilts that have been wrapped with tree skins and features 2 decks (upper and under) and it’s own fenced Shire Garden. It reflects our love of LOTR, and is magical and restful. It offers a vaulted ceiling, 53 windows (stained, leaded and regular) and skylights. Stargazer sits at the highest point of our area. Stargazer Skycabin (above right with interior inset) The cottage has a full-size refrigerator. The area is generally quiet and peaceful. There is a very large fenced 20′ X 30′ deck with chairs in the front of the cottage, a smaller, more private deck outside the back patio door, and a covered porch with seating. Its timbers were locally harvested and it is artfully crafted and decorated, with a soaring loft area accessed by ladder, and cozy living space with gas fireplace. The Timber-frame Cottage is beautiful and light. Timber-frame Cottage in the Heart of Rural Minnesota (above left picture with interior inset): We also were featured on PBS in January 2021! Here’s the link: For complete information, pics, reviews, etc., please click on the above links. A sauna opened as part of Stargazer bookings starting January 2021.

Since we recorded it, we’ve added a pergola over the hot tub. Please click on our walking tour to see our property. See what the stars looks like! Jill and Joan have been superhosts since 2017.
