Starry Night Retreat is where modern rustic charm meets absolute winter seclusion. Step inside to soaring pine-clad ceilings and a dramatic stone fireplace that warms and anchors the great room. Floor-to-ceiling windows reveal sweeping views of the snow-covered forest, filling the space with soft winter light and creating a peaceful connection to the outdoors.
The open-concept kitchen and dining area invite conversation and togetherness, whether you're preparing hearty winter meals or sharing slow breakfasts as snow falls quietly outside. Two serene bedrooms promise restful nights wrapped in nature’s stillness, while a dedicated office offers the perfect place for those who wish to blend remote work with retreat—complete with calming winter views.
Outside, expansive decks become tranquil winter lookouts—ideal for sipping hot coffee in the crisp morning air or unwinding under the early evening sky. Wander along private forest trails, now transformed into magical, snow-dusted pathways, and breathe in the fresh winter air. As night falls, step outside and let the brilliant canopy of stars—sharper and brighter in the cold-season air—turn your stay into something unforgettable.
Here, every detail invites you to slow down, reconnect, and immerse yourself in the quiet beauty of a winter wilderness—without ever sacrificing modern comfort.
