The space
🌄 Mountain Escape with Sunset Views, Firepit & Game Room

Just 2 hours from DC, this mountain-view retreat is designed for both relaxation and connection. Unwind on the deck with sweeping mountain views, then gather around the firepit as the sun sets and the sky fills with stars—easily the most memorable part of your stay.

Start your mornings with coffee overlooking the ridgeline, spend the day skiing, biking, or at the lake just minutes away, and return for golden hour on the deck. Whether it’s wine at sunset or late-night conversations by the fire, this is where time slows down.

Fully renovated in 2024 with a warm farmhouse aesthetic, the home blends cozy charm with modern comfort. Mountain views can be enjoyed from the deck, kitchen, and two bedrooms, all set in a quiet, peaceful location.

Inside, there’s something for everyone. The game room features a pool table, foosball, and classic arcade games, while evenings are perfect for board games, vinyl records, and relaxing together. A telescope and binoculars are provided for stargazing and birdwatching right from the deck.

For wellness and slower moments, the screened porch offers yoga mats and a rowing machine—perfect for a morning stretch or quiet reset surrounded by nature.

Located just 5 minutes from Bryce Ski Resort, mountain biking trails, and Lake Laura , this is a true four-season getaway.

Save now, stay later—your mountain moment is waiting.

Neighborhood highlights

Stargazer Cottage is located on a quiet street. Bryce ski resort is literally in the backyard and a few minutes drive from the cottage. Get in a brisk early morning walk up to the top of the ski slope in 10- 12 minutes from the cottage.

The cottage faces the Alleghany mountains and you can get mountain views in the winter time from the deck. Our future plan is to thin out some of the trees so we can enjoy unobstructed views year round from the deck.

Although surrounded by friendly neighbors, it is quiet and peaceful. We ask that you be mindful and respectful with the neighbors. On a clear night, you can sit out on the deck with the telescope (provided) and stargaze into the night. Kids and grownups alike will be delighted to see deer, rabbits, and hear the wood pecker in the backyard.

Lake Laura is located a short 5 minute drive from the house. Spend the entire summer day lounging on the grassy beach while the kids swim and play in tranquil waters. You can also enjoy fishing, kayaking and paddle boarding or just floating with friends. You can hike around the lake, which is an easy 2.5 mile loop.

For the adventurous souls, Bryce resort which is less than a five minute drive from the cottage is open to skiing in the winter and mountain biking in the summer time.
