Starry Nights Lodge, Beautiful Views, Hot Tub, Firepit, 15 mins from Boone

**In winter months, a 4-Wheel Drive vehicle is recommend to access lodge.***


Welcome to Starry Nights Lodge, a Boone-area log cabin, perched high atop a hill with magnificent long-range views, landscaped with stacked-stone terraces, and a circular driveway with plenty of room for parking. Best of all, you are just 30 minutes to the ski resorts and only 10 minutes from historic downtown Boone and Valle Crucis.

We love to host family vacations, birthdays, anniversaries, romantic get-a-ways, girls weekends and ASU parents visiting students.

*(If your group is larger, consider also renting Blue Moon Lodge, just up the hill. See: vrbo #1060962)

This Tahoe style house has lots of room to spread out. There are three levels of indoor living space and two levels of large decks. The main level of the house features an open floor plan with dining and living areas and a fully equipped kitchen. One wall contains plenty of large windows leading out to a wide upper deck and looks upon the rolling hills and mountains beyond. On the deck, you will find an oversized picnic table, custom rockers with lumbar support, and an outdoor grill. Back inside, the first level is assembled in an Arts and Crafts style, with hardwood flooring and natural finished tongue-and-groove paneling in the cathedral ceiling. The living area contains a stone fireplace with remotely controlled gas logs and features Van Earp lamps, leather sofa, love seat and armchair. The dining area comfortably seats eight. Beyond the living area is the master bedroom with three windows set into warmly paneled walls, a king bed piled with pillows, 36” flatscreen TV and a master bath.

Meticulously crafted stairs and banisters in naturally finished pine lead from the main floor to the loft above, containing a futon and a 55 inch smart television, perfect for a movie, curling up with a good book, or practicing yoga.

A game room on the lower level is equipped with a Foosball table, a chess table, a 36' flat screen television and a leather sofa bed. Just off the game-room is a bedroom with queen sized bed, a full bath, and an additional bedroom with 1 full bed and one queen bed and private bath. The deck on this level, has a large swing chair and a seven-person hot tub with lifter bar for easy access. Just wait till the stars come out!

Down in the valley, is our Stonehenge-inspired natural firepit. So romantic.

Starry Nights Lodge offers something for everyone in the family, with mountain views from every room, game tables and more, all in a lovely setting that is peaceful and still convenient to area attractions and events.

Pets: Dogs over 1 year , 40 lbs max, NOT left alone, $60/night.

Perfect getaway for family memories

Perfect location and space for our family reunion for Christmas! This cabin was cozy but had plenty of space for our growing family. We had all we needed and the cabin was tastefully decorated for Christmas. We will definitely be back again next year!

Great Getaway

Cute, comfortable and clean house with beautiful views. Check in and out was very simple. Easier to get to than other places we've stayed in the mountains, not as many curvy inclines, which I'm not used to navigating.

A Nice Stay

We enjoyed our stay at the Starry Nights Lodge. The firepit was particularly amazing and it was a nice getaway for our family. The grill did appear to not be working, but this did not put a damper on our trip.

Very nice place. Simple, clean, cozy, great views, hot tub and fire pit.

We loved our stay over Christmas week. It was even decorated for Christmas which really was a nice touch. The owner was great to communicate with as needed and the whole process was simple. It was perfect for our family of 4. We really enjoyed playing games in the main living area, going in the hot-tub and the fire pit area was amazing. Its just outside of town which was perfect for our daily excursions. The loft area was great for chilling at the end of the day. The kids loved having the two bedrooms on the lowest floor. Bathrooms are up to date and clean and very nice. Kitchen had everything we needed. Overall amazing place. Definitely coming back.

Perfect home for a wonderful Thanksgiving!

We spent Thanksgiving this year at Starry Nights with a party of 6 adults and two kids. It was perfect! When we checked in there was a bottle of Prosecco waiting on us, along with two gardening kits for the kids. The house was clean, well stocked with everything we needed, and convenient to everything. There's a Dollar General nearby in case you forget anything (which we did, of course!) and it's an easy drive to Valle Crucis and Boone. Our kids loved the foosball table and all of the games, and the loft was the perfect area for them to hang out in! Unfortunately it didn't snow when we were there, but I'm glad we had the owners instructions to have 4 WD as it would have been absolutely necessary. We will be back!

Lovely retreat while still close to everything

This is a lovely cabin with a great view. It has plenty of space but still feels quaint. It has a remote feel while being close to all the things you want to do. We were there for my son’s college graduation. Wonderful hosts. Very responsive and friendly

Nice view and location

We had a 4 day visit with our daughter who lives in Boone. The cabin is well laid out and overall we enjoyed our stay. The home is dated - hot tub has small leaks and does not hold water well, kitchen and bathrooms are adequate but dated. The home is also very close to another home that did feel they were on top of us - smoke / odors / dogs.
