Star Gaze | Majestic Views | Fun

Location! 5 minutes from Lake Gregory. Welcome to Northstar Vista Lodge! The panoramic mountain/forest views & sweeping vistas are breathtaking. With the expansive deck and balconies, the majestic views are everywhere. This is THE place for star gazing. View the North Star and other celestial points of interest through the lens of the tri-pod mounted telescope. Check out the Star Wars themed game room with foosball table, wood burning stove, keyboard, and plenty of games for family game night.

The location and views are THE main attraction. From the expansive deck, primary bedroom balcony, & the game room balcony, you can see for miles. As the sun sets & casts it`s colorful light on the forest canopy, only the sounds of birds against the silence of the forest can be heard. Unwind with a glass of wine and allow yourself to become one with nature as calmness washes over you. Plan your day at the lake, walk on the wide trail, take the dog to the dog park or throw the ball at the grassy area where you can also take a walk on the circular track. Just steps away rent a kayak or canoe, catch some fish or just hang out & have a picnic at one of the tables. Return home & cook a gourmet dinner, relax by the fire, gaze at the stars, & cherish these moments as they become memories forever. The beds are extra comfy with plenty of privacy for everyone. If that meeting comes up, use the workspace in the primary bedroom or take it outside to one of the balconies. The space is flexible, comfortable, & well designed for an unforgettable mountain retreat. Charge the car while you sleep so there`s more time to enjoy!
